I’ll check these out. She wasn’t into magnatiles just before she turned 2 but maybe she would be now. I know everyone loves thems. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-blocks-for-a-25-year-old#post-2917481 Mon, 20 Jul 2020 16:46:47 +0000 JennyPenny 2917481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hopefully I’m not suggesting the same set you already have but we have a wood set like these that my kids love. <a href="https://www.melissaanddoug.com/standard-unit-blocks/503.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.melissaanddoug.com/standard-unit-blocks/503.html</a> These and the magnatiles are the most used building toys in our house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-blocks-for-a-25-year-old#post-2917479 Mon, 20 Jul 2020 15:45:59 +0000 LemonJack 2917479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first was/is into building, so we have a lot of blocks. At that age, her favorite were a basic set of ABC blocks we were given for her birthday. I would also consider duplos and magnatiles. At six, she still plays with the magnatiles often. Her younger sister is now three and she’s gotten super into them recently too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-blocks-for-a-25-year-old#post-2917478 Mon, 20 Jul 2020 15:32:21 +0000 Rocker2014 2917478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you looking specifically for traditional flat blocks? If not, my LO LOVED bristle blocks at that age and I highly recommend them for building (thought not for stepping on, lol!) Something like this:</p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Bristle-Blocks-Battat-Creativity-Dexterity/dp/B00CEW9BV6/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&#038;keywords=bristle+blocks&#038;qid=1595277055&#038;sr=8-2" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Bristle-Blocks-Battat-Creativity-Dexterity/dp/B00CEW9BV6/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&#038;keywords=bristle+blocks&#038;qid=1595277055&#038;sr=8-2</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-blocks-for-a-25-year-old#post-2917470 Mon, 20 Jul 2020 14:33:29 +0000 agold 2917470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also have a big bag of wooden blocks that were given to us that may be about 20 years old and they are awesome. No clue how to find them, though. </p> <p>This is a really cute inexpensive set of blocks that I have for my little girls:<br /> <a href="https://www.carters.com/s/Carters/carters-toddler-girl-accessories/081787678347.html?cm_mmc=ip_Carters-_-Google-_-" rel="nofollow">https://www.carters.com/s/Carters/carters-toddler-girl-accessories/081787678347.html?cm_mmc=ip_Carters-_-Google-_-</a>{campaignid}-_-_081787678347&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjwgdX4BRB_EiwAg8O8HR7BxrTd8h7_2HSfq3pK8DVcRu3pVoWWigM2MjvZMZwdNubU649CuhoCA_cQAvD_BwE&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds</p> <p>Not badly priced at all. If you want to go pricey, I really love blocks by Grimm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-blocks-for-a-25-year-old#post-2917469 Mon, 20 Jul 2020 14:25:43 +0000 MrsSRS 2917469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What's your price point? Good wooden blocks can be expensive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-blocks-for-a-25-year-old#post-2917465 Mon, 20 Jul 2020 13:23:50 +0000 JJ2626 2917465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A non-covid post! Anyone have suggestions for a set of blocks for a 2.5 year old? We have a Melissa and Doug set but they are super slippery and she has a hard time with them. At her playgroup they had these really old, plain wood ones she liked but I can’t find them. Ha I know this is a trivial question but let me know if you have ideas! </p>
