Wooden x wood
Hello!
A toy description from Amazon:
"This wooden block cart includes 30 solid wood blocks."
1. What's the difference between "wooden block" and "wood block"?
2. If it's a cart full of blocks, why not say "wooden blockS cart" (with an S, for the plural)?
3. Please consider a picture frame made of wooden blocks glued together (as a pre-school art activity).
Should I describe it as "wooden blocks frame", "wooden block frame", or "wood blocks frame"?
Thank you! :-)

- Maybe the use of "wooden" was an attempt to say that the cart is made of wood rather than that the blocks are made of wood.
- It doesn't really work, though.
