For years children have played with precise, geometric building blocks in all kinds of materials.  Yes, there were Lincoln Logs, but we love seeing these more true-to-life Junior Lumberjack Blocks ($89 for a set), which will naturally help you and the kids in your life feeling more connected to nature!

And what about the S’more the Merrier Campfire Set? Too cute — and much less messy and sugary!

Thanks, Northbrook-based Crate & Barrel and Land of Nod!  It’s truly delightful to see the catalog filled with all kinds of outdoor-themed toys and decor.

Now, go grab your bear, raccoon, owl and log pillows! Yes, these are available too.
