New from Uncle Goose, Antics Ant Blocks aren't your everyday wooden cubes: Each of the set's 16 blocks features a creepy-crawly design -- from parading ant soldiers to an enemy spider to the queen and her eggs -- that grows into an imaginative scene no matter how you place or stack things.
Made in the U.S. from sustainable basswood and kid-safe inks -- $20 from Wild Dill. [Via Cool Mom Picks, which is also offering a pretty sweet coupon code through mid-January.]
