What are the best blocks to buy that they can learn how to stack one ontop of the other?

Can u even buy blocks by them selves. i thought they only come in toys. like trucks :o

How much are they by themselves

Can u see i dont go shopping for toys much, i get given alot of toys.

Kynan loved the stacking cups. You can get the from most toy shops or department stores. Also you can buy just wooden blocks. Whether they com in a a trolly or something else (which I'm sure Seth is beyond but might be good for Ruby later on). if you've got and Early Learning Centre store near you they are good for developemnet and learning toys. Hence the name lol.

I got DS wooden blocks, like you probably had as a kid (I know I did), and they were 100 pieces for $15 at Big W.....

Or you can buy the duplo blocks, big packs for cheap also at Big W..

Wooden blocks are the easiest and least frustrating type blocks for many children, as they don't have to line them up so precisely for them to connect together.

Places like Big W, Target etc usually sell bags or buckets of different types of blocks :). Otherwise you can quite often see them being sold at markets, garage sales and ebay etc too for much cheaper prices.

Alex has the wooden ones too. :yes: They're the right size for little hands.

She also likes the peek-a-blocks by fisher price.

Mega Blocks are great too. I bought a huge pack from Target for $30. I think it has around 350 pieces of different shapes and sizes in it and comes in a huge heavy duty bag with a zipper.

hi,

mega blocks are good, I agree as well. Fisher price have those see through cube blocks which are stackable also, but can be a bit big for little hands. Smaller wooden blocks you can get also get at Toys R Us, 16 blocks for around $3-4. HOpe that helps.
