Sorting Sound Blocks

These unique, hollow wooden blocks offer three ways to sort: by color, shape, or sound. Within each of the jumbo blocks is a permanently encased sounding material. The child shakes each block until she finds the 3 blocks (one of each shape) that have the same volume and density of sound. The blocks come in a 11"L x 8"W wooden tray. Rectangular block is about 5"L x 2"sq. From 3 years.

Cardboard Bricks

Light, strong and fun! These extra large cardboard brick blocks give children just enough detail to enhance play, but not too much to limit imagination. The size of the blocks provides the opportunity to build large, life-like structures and gives ample opportunity for parallel play as well as playing cooperatively with one another. The light weight of these blocks makes them great for children with muscle weaknesses, yet they are sturdy enough that they will not collapse easily. For extra fun and auditory stimulation, try putting dry rice inside the blocks before putting them together! Made of cardboard with a smooth, water-resistant coating for easy cleaning. Blocks arrive flat, assembly required. Set of 40 includes 8 red blocks (12"x 6"x 3"), 8 yellow blocks (6"x 6"x 3"), and 24 blue blocks (6"x 3"x 3"). From 18 months.
