A few years ago, British Columbia was hit hard with the Pine Beetle infestation. It wiped out growths of the mature Lodgepole Pine trees. CBC reported by the end of 2006, the cumulative outbreak area affected was estimated at 130,000 square kilometres, or close to the total area of England. Luckily for us, Little House, a Vancouver-based company, owned by the lovely Caitlin and her husband, Paul, had the grand idea of using the beetle wood to make building blocks. This idea came after they arrived in Kelowna, BC after leaving their life behind in NYC. They noticed the drastic change in the landscape as the result of the pine beetle and knew that the wood wasn’t being used by many people. As a result they figured that this would be a good product to work with, both because of its ubiquity and its gorgeous colouring.
Suitable for children and adults alike. The Beetle Blocks are made from the unmistakable blue-stained wood of Ponderosa Pine affected by the western pine beetle. These blocks utilize a precious resource otherwise unused. They are cut to size by a local mill and then sanded and finished by Paul. 100% handmade in British Columbia, and totally natural, this set of 30 blocks is thoughtfully designed and hand crafted for small hands and growing minds.
