Benefits of Foam Blocks for Kids

You may be wondering why soft play blocks are so great for kids. Well, here are our top reasons:

1. Safe and Practical

Foam blocks are safe and child-friendly. Our EVA foam blocks are soft and lightweight making them perfect for children without risk of injury. Foam blocks are easy-to-clean soft play equipment making them a perfect choice for teachers, parents and caregivers. You just need to wipe them using a damp cloth or wash them using mild soapy water to keep them clean.  No special solutions needed, cleaning supplies currently in your cupboard are quite suitable.

Lastly, foam blocks are versatile. They can be used for play indoors or outdoors, on the floor/walls or tables. They can also be used alongside other toys and play materials.

2. Physical Development – Fine Motor and Gross Motor Skill Development

We have kid-sized large, medium and small-sized foam blocks which are all lightweight and easy to lift, carry, stack and connect. Our foam building blocks therefore encourage physical activity that helps in developing motor coordination, strength, and perfect balance.

The blocks also develop fine motor skills: finger dexterity, hand-eye coordination, visual tracking skills, and the ability to grasp and release objects among other skills such as sensory skills (the ability to perceive and interpret the world through sight, touch, & hearing).

3. Cognitive Skills Development – Develops Problem-Solving Skills, Spatial Awareness and More

Unlike regular toys and play items for kids, foam blocks also encourage children to think creatively. The variety of shapes, arrangements, and block sizes allows an imaginative journey featuring many creations (from structures to vehicles).

Besides fostering cognitive development (abstract thinking), blocks also boost spatial awareness – how things relate to each other through concepts of shape, size, and balance. Playing with foam blocks will also develop a kid’s mathematical skills as they will be introduced to basic math concepts like sorting, counting, and creating patterns.

4. Social and Emotional Development

Foam blocks also encourage cooperative play and cooperation among kids as they work to build structures. Kids get to improve their language skills among other important social skills like sharing and taking turns. Children also get to develop amazing imagination skills as soft blocks offer endless building possibilities.

Overall, foam building blocks are a perfect and valuable addition to children’s play environments. Besides being fun, they offer all the above benefits.
