Papoose Toys - Dutch Step Gables Blocks (16 Piece Set)

Each block is crafted from beechwood and features a dazzling gem set into the front with a solid wooden back. The stepped gable shape is drawn from Amsterdam's iconic rooflines, so the blocks add both structure and a little sparkle to a build.

The set contains 16 step gable blocks and a wooden storage box. Each block measures about 10 x 2.5cm. When play is over the pieces tuck neatly back into the box, which keeps the set together and makes tidy-up part of the routine.

The rooflines lend themselves to building cities, castles and canal houses, topping walls and towers with a gabled crown. Because the set is open-ended, children combine and rebuild freely, inventing skylines and imaginative worlds of their own.

Yes. They pair naturally with the Papoose Bitcoin sets, such as the Bitcoin Goethe Set at /products/papoose-bitcoin-goethe-set-12-pieces, and with other wooden building sets to expand a growing block collection with more shapes and colour.

Because the blocks are handcrafted, the gems may occasionally show small marks or specks. These natural variations do not affect the quality or the play value of the blocks, and give each piece a slightly different look.

Wipe the beechwood surfaces and gem faces with a dry or barely damp cloth, then let them dry. Keep the blocks and their wooden box away from water and damp storage so the timber and inserts stay in good condition.

Set against the solid wooden back, the gem catches the light and adds colour and shine to a build. It gives the wooden shapes a magical touch, which children enjoy when they hold blocks up to a window or lamp.
