Endless toy options on the market make it difficult to keep up. Just blocks for babies alone can get our head spinning with choices and possibilities. So, I put together a list of some of the most interesting blocks for babies that I’ve found over the year that I think you will love as well. Check them out below.

1) Water Blocks
Create cities and towns on water! These soft blocks float in water and stick to each other when wet. They are super fun, and great for promoting imagination, motor skills, and coordination.
2) Sensory Blocks
These wooden blocks have different textures and rattle sounds for toddlers to explore while practicing building and stacking. The tree and people characters provide additional creative and imaginative play ideas.
3) Mochi Blocks
Mochi Blocks are made out of rice! How cool is that?! They come with a soft and smooth texture which feels nice to the touch. Two of the pieces that are shaped like rattles are actually rattles.
4) Pebble Blocks
The idea behind these blocks is to simulate playing in nature with pebbles and sticks. Each of the blocks is designed to be unique. Stacking with these is great for developing problem-solving skills, working on attention, practicing perseverance, and promoting fine motor skills.
5) Blast off Blocks
Stack these soft blocks on top of the building platform, then step or push down on the launch pad to watch them blast off. This toy is a great motivator for kids who need some encouragement to play with blocks. Being able to knock the blocks down once built is always exciting.
6) Lacing Bead Blocks
These beautiful lacing beads can also be stacked. However, kids first have to figure out the right way to position them so that they don’t topple over.
7) Magnetic Blocks
Magicube blocks are magnetic blocks that attach together from any side. They are excellent for introducing kids to stacking and encouraging hand-eye coordination.
8) Go Go Vehicle blocks
This toy by People Blocks is a 6 piece magnetic block set that allows kids to create an endless combination of vehicle structures. Super cool!
9) Soft Blocks
Kids can squeeze, chew, and stack this soft set of blocks that come with vibrant colors and textures. They are a perfect first block set for a baby.
