Building Blocks and Bricks

Explore our range of building blocks and bricks for children, including wooden, foam, plastic and sensory building blocks. Designed for nurseries, schools and early years settings, our building blocks encourage children to build, experiment and create through hands-on construction play.

From simple blocks for younger children to larger construction blocks and bricks for more complex structures, our range offers different shapes, sizes, colours and materials to support a variety of construction activities.

Building blocks provide your little ones time to think independently as they build and help improve fine and gross motor skills. As children build with these building blocks they utilise their imagination at the fullest capacity as they create their structures, discover new shapes and see new colours. Our building blocks also encourage children to collaborate, giving them the confidence to express themselves as they discuss with their friends what to build. Building blocks also put children in a position to practice their problem-solving skills, constructing with irregularly shaped building blocks and mixing and matching bricks will get them thinking about how it all fits together to create a building. 

As they engage in block play they get a grasp of basic mathematic and scientific concepts including shapes, sizes, gravity, symmetry, balance and estimation. Whilst they move and stack blocks they develop a better sense of spatial awareness and hand-eye coordination through stacking, lifting and moving blocks with their whole body. 

The possibilities for play are endless with our children’s building blocks. Your little ones can add in alternative resources including dough, small world people, paints and pencils to extend play time and creativity. 

Our range of children’s building blocks and bricks includes plastic blocks, traditional wooden building blocks and foam building blocks, which come in a variety of shapes (square, triangular, circular e.t.c), sizes, colours and materials (wood, plastic and foam pieces) and are suitable for use in the home, in preschools, nurseries, daycare centres or any other early years setting.

Learning Through Building and Construction

Building blocks provide children with opportunities to develop creativity, problem-solving and collaboration through open-ended play. As children stack, balance and combine different blocks, they can explore concepts such as shape, size, symmetry, balance and spatial awareness.

Construction play can also support fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination as children handle, position and connect different pieces. Building together with other children encourages communication, cooperation and imaginative thinking.

Types of Building Blocks and Bricks

Wooden Building Blocks

Wooden building blocks provide a versatile resource for construction and open-ended play. Choose from traditional wooden blocks, natural building blocks, sensory blocks and larger hollow blocks for creating structures, balancing activities and imaginative play.

Soft Building Blocks

Soft foam building blocks are ideal for younger children and can be used for stacking, building and physical construction activities. Their lightweight design makes them suitable for a variety of early years environments.

Plastic Building Blocks

Plastic building blocks and construction bricks offer different shapes, colours and connecting systems for children to experiment with. They can be used to create structures, patterns and imaginative constructions.

Building Bricks

Building bricks provide opportunities for children to practise stacking, joining and constructing. Different sizes and designs allow children to progress from simple structures to more complex creations.

Building Blocks for Nursery and Early Years Settings

Building blocks are versatile resources for nurseries, preschools, schools and early years settings. They can be used for individual construction, collaborative building activities, small world play and open-ended creative projects.

Combine building blocks with other resources such as small world people, vehicles, animals or loose parts to extend children's construction and imaginative play.
