The Totems Series One is a collection of wooden block toys. Not the average stackable blocks, they are modern and classic at the same time. Despite the simplicity of the design, each block has a slew of personality. This is due in large part to the notches marked into the surface of blocks. These 'notches' make each block look as though it has a face.
Designed by Dino Sanchez, the Totems Series One is made with all ages in mind. Great for the playroom and the office, it will occupy men and women as well as boys and girls when they are in need of a distraction. Handmade in the United States, the Totems Series One is made out of solid oak and walnut with non-toxic finishes, so parents don't have to worry if kids put them in their mouths.
