While browsing Amazon tonight, I found listings for a toy company that produces wooden alphabet blocks in various languages. The blocks are available in Arabic, French, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Russian, and Spanish. Oh, by the way, an English set is available.

The blocks are made in the USA by Il Cocco di Mamma of Boston. They have the letters of the alphabet and pictures with related text on them. They look nice for a unique decoration. They are a bit too pricey for me, $35 on Amazon.com. But they might make great gifts for some people and that's why I'm mentioning them.
