Madelyn loves, loves, loves Parents® abc architecture blocks. These blocks are colorful, squishy soft and stack easily. One of my favorite things about the abc architecture blocks is because they are soft, they don't make a loud crashing sound when they are knocked down.
Parents® abc architecture blocks can even go in the bathtub. They float making them lots of fun. Just be sure to sqeeze all of the water out when the kids are through playing with them.
There are 9 different shapes including squares, columns, and curvy pieces that can go on top of the column pieces to make a cool tower. Each block has an animal and/or a letter of the alphabet molded on it.
Parents® also makes wooden toys including a Doctor's play set that Madelyn is getting for Christmas. I am so excited.. she'll have so much fun with it. Something that I really appreciate about Parents® toys is that they are all practical and educational.
Recommended for ages 6+ months.
