Product Information
Full details
The Bigjigs Toys Soft Sorting Blocks are designed for toddlers and preschoolers who are beginning to explore basic mathematical and sensory concepts. These blocks offer the key benefit of combining the stability of a wooden core with a tactile, grippy silicone exterior, making them safer and easier to handle than traditional solid wood blocks. While they are exceptionally durable, it is worth noting that because the set contains nine blocks, they may not offer enough pieces for building complex or large-scale structures compared to traditional larger block sets.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these blocks safe for teething toddlers?
The blocks are designed for tactile play and contain a wooden core, so they are not intended to be used as chew toys.
What is the recommended age range?
These blocks are designed for toddlers, typically aged 12 months and older.
Can these be washed in a dishwasher?
No, you should not put these blocks in the dishwasher as the heat and water may damage the internal wooden core.
What materials are the blocks made of?
The blocks consist of a solid wooden core wrapped in a durable, child-safe silicone sleeve.
Do the blocks come with a storage bag?
The product is provided as a set of nine blocks; check individual retailer packaging as storage solutions may vary.
Will the patterns wear off over time?
The designs are crafted for durability, but consistent rough use may eventually lead to fading of the printed patterns.
Troubleshooting
Silicone sleeve is dusty or covered in lint
Wipe the blocks down with a damp, lint-free cloth or rinse quickly under cool water and allow to air dry completely.
Blocks are not balancing correctly in a tall tower
Ensure the surface is completely level. Encourage the child to place the blocks slowly to center the weight, as the soft silicone is grippy but requires steady hands.
Pros and Cons

- Durable construction ensures longevity

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no setup required for the Bigjigs Soft Sorting Blocks; they are ready to use immediately out of the packaging. Regarding compatibility, these blocks can be integrated into existing play environments alongside other building toys or used independently for sorting games. To maintain the quality of the set, wipe the silicone sleeves with a damp cloth and mild soap if they become soiled. Avoid submerging the blocks in water for extended periods to protect the internal wooden core. Ensure they are kept in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent the silicone from becoming sticky or attracting dust.
