Woopie Baby connecting blocks are 12 soft pieces to squeeze, join in pairs, stack into towers and take into the bath.

These soft connecting blocks are a versatile learning toy for little ones. Each block has raised shapes that fit into the recesses of other pieces, so babies learn to match and join them in pairs. The faces show numbers, animals, fruit and geometric patterns that encourage early learning. When squeezed, the blocks squeak gently. The soft, pleasant material is safe and works as a teether too. The blocks are water-resistant, so they make bath time more fun as well. Each block is about 6 × 5.5 × 5 cm.

What your child develops

• Sight. Your child recognises colours and shapes.
• Touch. Ridges and textures give different sensations.
• Hearing. Blocks squeak when squeezed.
• Hand-eye coordination. Building towers and joining pairs.
• Counting. Numbers and animals help with learning.

How to play

Show how two blocks connect and let your baby find the next pair. Name the animals and fruit on the faces.

Take a few blocks into the bath – they squeak in the water too.

A great gift

Connecting blocks are a lovely, practical gift for babies from 12 months.
