An attractive set of children's letter and number blocks. There are 18 blocks that are 1 3/4 inches square and 1/4 inch thick printed recto and verso. Numbers are printed in black against an orange background on nine of the blocks. The remaining block faces have the alphabet in black and white. The blocks are in a wooden case that is decorated with a scene of children playing. The box has a cloth backstrip and the cover opens as a book.
