Reasons to love Ocamora by Dannii Burnett @lovedbydannii
Ocamora is the latest brand to grace our play space at home. A brand created in Spain that focuses on open ended play, imagination and sustainability. A beautiful range of wooden toys, building blocks and stacking toys to inspire creativity.
Why we love Ocamora wooden toys
Handcrafted, Ocamora toys are made naturally, with each piece having its own knots and markings from wood sourced from sustainable forests. Each toy is unique, with no two pieces ever being the same, and each one feels like a work of art.
Compared with many plastic toy brands, Ocamora toys offer a more tactile, sensory and eco-friendly play experience. Their grippy texture allows for easier stacking and trickier configurations, making them ideal for open-ended play, Montessori inspired activities and loose parts play. Our Triangle prism set is the perfect addition to our block sets to practise stacking, balance, patterns and using the blocks with other loose parts for small world cities, marble runs and puzzle creations. All in a handy tray for storage.
Ocamora toys come in a range of colours, all made from eco friendly paints and free from nasty chemicals, making them a great toy to introduce to even younger children. Just place a few blocks down to see how your little one reacts and plays.
My top 3 purchases within the range would be a construction set, 9 piece rainbow and/or prism set. All complement each other with endless open play ideas from building and stacking to tunnels and race tracks. A sensory experience to feel each shape's texture, smell and identify colours, and perfect for all ages of children, with Winnie being 2 and Ollie being 3.5 years of age using the blocks in a variety of ways based on their own learning.
