Giant Building Block 40-piece Set

Giant Building Block 40-piece Set

Little ones with a knack for building and creative play will be drawn to these lightweight and durable cardboard building blocks. A staple item in many preschools, this set can spark endless imaginative play as children build large, life-size structures. Builders practice mathematical skills as they add the number of blocks stacked on top of each other, and the various-sized blocks can facilitate a conceptual understanding of fractions. When kids are developmentally ready, parents can encourage them to discover that one large red block is the same size as two medium yellow blocks or four small blue blocks. Made from 50 percent recycled cardboard, the blocks have a smooth, water-resistant coating that's easy to clean. These blocks won a Parents' Choice Classic Award and a Dr. Toy Classic Award. One word of caution: Make sure there's enough storage space to hold all 40 blocks once assembled. --Lauren Bernard, mother and elementary school teacher

Giant Foam Block Set; 32 Piece Set; no. EDS700140

Giant Foam Block Set; 32 Piece Set; no. EDS700140

Thanks to the miracle of tough foam rubber, these big blocks are perfect for little kids. Durable and just big enough to be handled easily by small hands, the pieces range from 4 inches to a foot wide (all the blocks are just over 4 inches thick). The colorful, geometric blocks also prove light enough that no one will get hurt when a top-heavy creation starts to tumble, or--heaven forbid--someone (accidentally) gets bonked on the head by a big blue triangle or a red brick. A neat extra: these blocks even float in water, making them perfect for pool play. --Paul Hughes
