AVDAR The Story Block – 2025 Design Event Winner

"Stories connect our generations with love" - The design shows an infant in their bassinet, their mother (or older sibling) and the grandparent, all enjoying story time together.

This toy includes 23 versatile handcrafted pieces and a square tray for easy storage and advanced builds. Produced in a limited run of only 200 units, each The Story Block is individually numbered.

FAQ

Q: What exactly is included in The Story Block set?
A: This enchanting 33-piece set is designed to spark endless storytelling! It includes uniquely shaped wooden blocks (arches, curves, and waves), 4 peg dolls, a cute ghost, and a car base with a built-in magnet. Everything is organized in a beautiful wooden storage tray (27x27x4.5 cm) with a clear acrylic cover. (Note: Your purchase includes only the items shown in the first product photo).

Q: Can the car base be connected to other AVDAR vehicles?
A: Yes! The car base in The Story Block set features a built-in magnet, allowing it to seamlessly couple with other magnetic vehicles from our Architecture series (like the Trailer set). This adds a wonderful mechanical element to play, as children can create a "story train" across their play area.

Q: What age is this block set recommended for, and what are its benefits?
A: This set is highly recommended for children aged 3 years and older. As an open-ended Montessori toy, it encourages fine motor skill development, spatial reasoning, and creative storytelling. The combination of classic building and character role-play helps children develop language skills and emotional expression.

Q: Are the materials safe, and what wood is used for the set?
A: Safety and quality are our top priorities. Each piece is handcrafted from premium solid lindenwood and finished with completely non-toxic, eco-friendly water-based wax colors that allow the natural wood texture to show through. The set strictly conforms to international EN71, ASTM, and CPSIA safety standards and is backed by our 2-year warranty.
