✨ Introducing toy of the month: large foam blocks!! ✨
Our last toy of the month may not be fancy or complex, in fact it’s something most people have at home already, big or small!
A simple toy with endless options for building important skills.
Here’s why we love them!👇
🧠 Problem-Solving Skills
Figuring out how to balance towers, make ramps, or building castles - crucial for trial and error, thinking outside of the box and planning!
Think “hmm… the big block keeps falling. What happens if we put it at the bottom instead?”
💪 Gross Motor Development
Lifting, pushing, climbing, and crawling over blocks strengthens core stability, balance, and coordination.
🗣️ Language & Communication
Blocks are perfect for expanding vocabulary and encouraging back-and-forth interaction.
“Let’s make it taller!”
“Where should this one go?”
“Can you find a BIG BLUE block?”
🤝 Social Skills
Sharing blocks, taking turns, building together, and negotiating ideas foster teamwork and flexible play skills.
🎭 Imagination & Pretend Play
Blocks can become boats, beds, castles, shops, or rocket ships — limitless creativity!
We’ve hoped you’ve enjoyed our toy of the month series and have found some inspiration to expand on play at home! 🏠 We can’t wait to share more next year ☺️
We have therapy spots coming available in 2026, secure a spot today!
