The State of Sound blocks are a huge hit with musicians. They look jazzy in the studio, yet they're not too hip to be handled. Pick them up, spin them around like a record, learn about the history of US music. Why not give a set to your favorite musician so they can have their own block party? One side of each block shows an embossed LP record with the name of a state paired with its order of entry into the union. Two sides show the state's prominent musical style and its definition. Two more sides list active decades and other influential state musical styles. The remaining side is a puzzle piece. Put the blocks together in their tray to create the United States of Music. Made using sustainable Midwestern basswood. Printed with non-toxic, mouth safe inks. Includes basswood tray. 100% made in the USA. Ages 2 . 50 cubes. 1.75"
