12 PCS Foam Building Blocks 5.5″ x 5.5″ Colorful Climbing Foam Soft Cubes for Kids

The first thing you need to know about these building blocks (if you’re more observant than I am, you might have already noticed) is that they’re made of cardboard. I bought these blocks for my 10-month-old baby because she seemed close to entering the “stacking” stage, and I thought they would be fun. Unfortunately, she’s still in the “put everything in her mouth” stage and has started frantically sucking on the edges of the smallest blocks. For a sucking baby, these blocks aren’t very durable. If your child is a little older and not used to sucking things, these blocks might last a bit longer, but I doubt they’ll last forever. These blocks are pretty, with lots of colorful letter-themed patterns that look fun. They stack neatly and provide a fun physical challenge for children. If you want some lightweight, completely safe, and inexpensive blocks, these are perfect; a careful child will love them. But if you want some sturdier, more durable blocks for a younger child, these aren’t suitable.
