Chunky beech wood letter blocks engraved with your choice of letters. Perfect to spell a child's name or words (play, baby, wild, ABC etc..) and for displaying on shelves. They'd also be great photo props for birth announcements or birthday photos.

Available painted in your choice of colour or left in their raw state, each block measures 4.5 x 4.5 cm with gently rounded edges. As of May 2020 we have changed from 5cm blocks so if you have ordered previously please note the size difference.

Add each required block separately to your basket to create your desired word or name. Choose your letter, colour and the design of your block choosing from just letters or letters and their matching illustrations. We engrave on either two or four sides depending on your chosen design - leaving the top and bottom plain.

Designs to choose from are as follows;

- Letters only, one side of the block is engraved with an uppercase letter and the opposite side is engraved with the matching lowercase letter (two sides engraved in total) all other sides remain plain.

- Letters and illustrations, one side is engraved with an uppercase letter, one side is engraved with a lowercase letter and two sides are engraved with a matching illustrations to your letter choice. For example if you have chosen the letter B, your block will show an uppercase B, lowercase b a bear illustration and a balloon illustration on the sides (four sides engraved in total) the top and bottom will remain plain.
