Screen Time vs. Green Time: Why Play Wins Every Time

Are we really meant to sit around all day and slide our fingers over glass? Is that what we've come to? 

Of course not! We're not developing much sensory or emotional depth with that activity! 

Children learn best when they're playing! Who would have thought? It's almost like evolution designed little humans to explore, touch, stack, and knock things over in spectacular fashion.

We all need screen-free playtime. We need to move our bodies. To touch and sniff things. To connect and eat and laugh with other people in our world. It's how we develop depth of knowledge. 

If you want a child to learn and grow, encourage them to put down their digital screens and get some dirt under their fingernails. It's about thyme! Or basil and garlic, if you prefer!

Like flowers in spring, nature-based learning is sprouting up everywhere. The great outdoors isn't just a place between the house and the car; it's a living, breathing classroom. Every block and every rock tells a story. And every tree branch is a physics lesson waiting to happen!

Uncle Goose toys serve as learning companions that bridge the gap between digital competence and nature's wisdom. Each block is a tiny wooden ambassador, teaching everything from fine motor skills to spatial reasoning. 

You'll find all kinds of rich content on our blocks to suit a child's learning needs and interests. We have your Classic ABC Blocks, of course. And in 26 different languages, including ASL!

And moving beyond languages, you'll find wooden toys to stimulate interest in the sciences, music, storytelling, vocabulary, history, and more. There's a toy for every interest, even the offbeat and unusual. 

Wooden blocks don't need batteries, WiFi, or software updates. They're powered by pure imagination. We build our toys to outlast trends, tantrums, and several generations of enthusiastic little architects. Blocks are timeless teaching tools that stack up against any fancy gadget. 

Your Uncle Goose helps kids build more than towers. They also learn to build confidence, creativity, and critical thinking skills.

In this brave new world of artificial intelligence, Uncle Goose Toys can keep you ahead of the curve. Because the most sophisticated learning tool is also the simplest: a beautifully made wooden block helps grow a child's creativity and imagination.
