We teach our kids about animals, colors, and letters via the magic of flash cards, but how about our friends the trees? With this set, you can teach your kid, or yourself, how to tell a Adler from an Ash. The Swiss toy company Naef created the Holz Wood Collection that includes samples of 21 different varities of woods.
Each of the wood tiles includes an image of the tree and the name in English, German and French, so while you’re at it you can pick up a new language or two. Along with being suitable for kids, the set is used by architects and designers as well. The simple wood samples come incased in an attractive gift box for the sadly high price of $99 here.
