I have wanted branch blocks since I saw them at another preschool, I thought they would be so awesome for the kids to build with! I saw a set at a teacher supply store for over $50...not in my budget honey.
But, I have a bunch of branches, and a dad with some fancy (very scary and I would never touch it) saw and he cut the branch up for me in no time flat!
Then I just sanded the edges and put them in a basket and they are all ready for building!
They are going to make the coolest structures!!!
What do you think?

What a cute idea!! My classroom always had all plastic blocks, I would've loved to have had something like this for the kids to make different types of structures.

Such a cute and creative idea!
My son would love these. He loves structure building.
Great idea! Love this and pinning it to my pin board! Teachers are so frugal : )
We have a set that we love. We also made our own rather than the expensive ones. One thing that we added that the kids have enjoyed are some flats. I used some scrap wood that was pretty thin and we have some that are @ 5x7 and other similar sizes. We also have some strips that are about 1x8 and other similar sizes. It's been helpful for cool structures.
What a great idea!!! We've got a lot of branches, too...and my dad has scary cutting tools. My kids would go crazy for these!
