Blocks enhance a child’s hand-eye coordination, spatial relationships, shape recognition, and color matching. Most Toddler Cubes for young children are made of sturdy paper or soft materials that will not cause injury when the blocks fall on them. The blocks are usually large enough for kids to hold with both hands and have patterns and designs that will stimulate their minds.
