Best Baby Blocks of 2019
Your child can tap into their inner builder with these simple-but-fun toys.
Baby blocks may seem like simple toys, but they are the best at entertaining babies, toddlers and even older children.
As a baby, your wee one will bang the blocks together and chuckle with glee when they knock down the tower you built (this never gets old!). Once they’re a toddler, they’ll use problem-solving skills to figure out how to stack and balance blocks and, later, play architect and builder of their own unique vision.
Let the tabletop construction begin with these brain-boosting kits:
Beautiful Blocks
Through play with these charming, embossed blocks, your kiddo will become familiar with the alphabet, numbers and animals pictured on them. Line them up to spell words and count numbers, or sort them into colors. Made from basswood and printed using child-safe inks, these blocks are too pretty to not pass down to the next generation. Uncle Goose also makes a count-and-stack version, which is a less-expensive option.
