Safe Toys and Gifts Month

‘Tis the season for gift giving!  Children around the world will be opening gifts of toys in the coming weeks.  Parents scour the internet for toy reviews with their minds on safety and fun for their children.  Toys that help toddlers with hand eye coordination and early letter recognition are always a big hit as they can be fun and educational!  A.D.T. Whitney patented his unique take on Alphabet Blocks in May 1882 (US Pat. No. 257,630).  Instead of what comes to mind when we think of ABC blocks, Whitneys’ version had different size and shapes which could be manipulated to form the actual letters!  Let us know your favorite toy – as a child or for your child – in the comment section below.  @bigiplaw #patentfunfacts #safetoysandgiftsmonth #buildingblocks #ABC #toys
