We\u2019ve expanded Silly Blocks with tons of quirky new additions to spark wild imaginations and celebrate summer. From discovering new summertime foods and animals to tossing the beach ball around and checking out summer fashion, kids will follow their noses and develop key cognitive skills while self-guiding play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new summer blocks bring endless opportunities for kids to develop the fundamentals of STEM, including skills in problem-solving, sequencing, patterning, matching and more. Kids will experiment with how blocks move, what their boundaries are, how they can be arranged, and play with ordering and sequencing. This toy may look and sound silly, but there\u2019s a lot of deep learning going on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
