Best soft blocks for babies to aid development

Any munchkins getting their first teeth come through will appreciate these baby blocks. Not only are they great for building and counting numbers, but they are chewable. We love that they are made from non-toxic silicone that is free from BPA.

Review: "Perfect for my seven-month-old who loves to put anything in her mouth. I have peace of mind that these aren’t going to hurt her mouth like some other bulky plastic toys. I love how each side has something different, which will be perfect to show as she grows."

From being able to put these blocks in the washing machine to the bold, colourful design, there are many reasons that parents and children alike will appreciate these baby soft blocks. As well as stacking these toys, infants can match the print, play catch and build a fortress. Amazing!

Review: "A friend has this toy for her baby, so I already knew how great, soft and light it was. One thing that lots of parents worry about is toys smacking them in the face and hurting them, especially their eyes. However, these are light and soft. So even if they threw it in the air (which they will trust me) and hits them in the face, it won't hurt one bit. It is super durable as my friend's baby had it for AGES, and it looked like recently bought. I especially love that 1-2 of the blocks have a little bell in them, which catches their attention even more."

Rattling, jingling and crinkling their way into your child's toy box are these budget-friendly soft blocks. Each block features a fun character and pattern as well as a number and letter. This multi-sensory toy is bound to put a smile on your child's face during playtime.

Review: "Bought for my five-month-old who likes to chew, shake and bat at them, now six months old and exploring the shape and how to hold them gets her coordination going. We are now enjoying knocking down a tower I built, which is fun. The fact that each one sounds different is good. The crinkly one is a clear favourite. The tabs on them are genius as you can attach them to the pram, car seat etc. Or it's a convenient bit for babies to hold on to, practising that pincer grip."

Your little one will enjoy squeezing, stacking and tossing these soft blocks, adorably designed with their favourite underwater animals. The multi-sensory activity will aid your little one's development of fine motor skills, and provide hours of endless fun.

Review: "My daughter loves these soft blocks! Beautiful colours and textures. They are easy for her to grab and move around. Great for developing her fine motor skills right now. We always make sure we have one or two during a car ride because she chews, squeezes and kicks them around. They're easy to wash and I would highly recommend them!!"

Kids can chew, squash and demolish this pack of 24 soft blocks, and they'll still be good as new. The hardwearing blocks will develop skills like problem-solving and creative thinking and tots will have hours of fun stacking and slotting these together. Review: "I bought these for my little boy for his Christmas presents, have started Christmas shopping early, but I opened them to have a look at them to see see the quality of them. I am happy with them, thank you very much - I will be buying stuff from you guys again."

Build, stack, and learn! Great for playtime and to keep your little one entertained, these colourful block features a number and matching artworks on each side, to add to your baby’s learning development. Triblox is a brilliant way for your child to get creative and use their own imaginative skills. 

Review: "One of our favourite toys it’s such a great toy for open play and skill development. Its soft and flexible and easy for them to hold. It comes with numbers one side and a pattern on the other side. So, you can use them for painting and play dough too. They are silicone so easy to clean. I would definitely recommend this product 10/10"

From the squeaker to the bell and crinkle fabric, these blocks will encourage your child's curiosity. The best thing about it? One of the four blocks features a mirror, which is brilliant for helping tots recognise their reflection.

Review: "These set of blocks are a great tool and learning resource for any age - I have two children, both different ages who equally love playing with them. I love that they're really easy to wipe clean because of the material used."

Does your little one love wildlife? Look no further than these safari-themed plush cubes. Featuring a lion, giraffe, crocodile and elephant, your bub will enjoy stacking, tumbling and (inevitably) throwing them around over and over again. Also a perfect match for a safari-themed nursery...

Review: "I love these and so does my baby. It had made tummy time easier as I can play with him. He likes to watch me stack them and he knocks them over and giggles. I was not expecting all the varied faces, but I love it. For reference the faces are high contrast, animal, animals, a texture, something 3d and numbers. Very impressed with that variety and each one is different. My teething baby has dripped and sucked on these for ages, and they still look great."

Each individual block has a number on each side and helps to add some fun to your child’s learning experience. From counting to identifying different shapes, Triblox introduces your little one to a whole new world of creativity.  Easy to hold, it will also boost their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
