#0012 – Wedgits

Why is it so difficult to describe Wedgits? I guess it is because they are so unique. They are simultaneously square and wedge-shaped. They stack simply as orderly pyramids or can be wedged into elaborate creations. So easy a baby can successfully stack them in minutes, yet so complex that adults are still playing with them days later.

Behind The Scenes

  • Devyn’s baby sister Hayden stole the show this week with her huge grin!
  • Grandpa also makes a cameo appearance. He used Wedgits during therapy time after his stroke, and as you can see, was pretty tickled with his accomplishments.
  • Hayden loves seeing babies, and in the closing clip her excitement is because she caught a glimpse of herself in the video camera, and was delighted!

Wedgits have long been a hit in the homeschool arena, to say nothing of their use in schools, hospitals, and occupational therapy centers across five continents. As an open-ended manipulative, Wedgits have always had kid-appeal because the rainbow-colored blocks seem to spontaneously align themselves in a myriad of forms…” Buy Wedgits Now Here!
