              The kids grabbed these so fast I'm not sure they even knew it was a present. They built towers, road blocks, stuffed animal corrals, and used them as pillows when watching tv. Can't go wrong with them

                  A simple idea that should encourage kids to be imaginative & creative. My 1 year old loves to stack them up & knock them over. Although a little expensive, a 2nd set would open the possibilities of "building" many things.

                    Comments about Foam Blocks:

                    My 4 year old son lands on the Autism Spectrum. It is extremely HARD to find toys that he can play with others with. These blocks have created family time for us. My son concentrates on what we build for him and he enjoys knocking down what we make. I am buying another set! Worth a million dollars in my book!

                      great starter toy whether the baby is walking yet or not. At 18 months, he has wooden blocks but prefers foam blocks because of durability. He fits shapes together and builds bridges. Great toy! With his sister due in 1 month. They will be perfect for her too. Thank you.

                        I didn't see them other than in pictures with my great nephew (2yrs). According to his Mom, he LOVED them. She loves them too because they are home-friendly and can't do much damage when the castle or whatever comes tumbling down.
