There’s something super-satisfying about these tactile building blocks. They come in a range of appealing colors and have a slightly squishy form that makes them delightful to build with and pull apart. Because the pieces are all the same, children don’t have to spend ages searching for a specific block as they do with Lego. They can pick by color or just experiment, and it’s as easy to create bracelets and headbands as it is to construct robots and bridges.
These building blocks were very popular in the classroom with 7- and 8-year-olds. Some kids had fun just playing without something specific in mind, while others planned scenes and put their engineering skills to use to realize them. There are also some instruction booklets with suggestions.
For kids aged 5 years and up.
