Foam Building Blocks for Toddlers and Older Children
These large foam building blocks are made from lightweight and durable EPP foam and are designed for creative play, building and movement. The foam building blocks are available in four different sets with standard blocks, round blocks, roof tiles and a value pack. Thanks to their large size and low weight, children can easily build towers, houses, castles and other imaginative structures – both indoors and outdoors.
What is EPP foam?
EPP stands for expanded polypropylene and is a lightweight, durable and versatile foam material. It is particularly well suited for large building blocks because the material combines low weight with good stability. Children can easily pick up, carry and stack the blocks while building large structures. The closed-cell structure of EPP foam makes the foam building blocks easy to clean and suitable for regular use. The material is also resistant to moisture, making these large foam building blocks suitable for both indoor and outdoor play. EPP is durable and fully recyclable, making it a practical material for building blocks that are used regularly in homes, nurseries, schools, childcare centres and therapy settings.
Large foam building blocks for creative play
With large foam building blocks, children can build on a much bigger scale than with conventional construction toys. Instead of sitting at a table with small bricks, children can walk around their constructions, carry the blocks themselves and become part of the building process. Our foam building blocks for children encourage open-ended play and allow children to decide what they want to build. A simple tower can become a castle, a house, a shop or an entire imaginary world. The large, lightweight blocks are easy for children to handle and can be combined in many different ways. This makes them suitable for both individual play and collaborative building activities.
What are jumbo building blocks?
Jumbo building blocks are extra-large construction blocks designed for children who want to build on a much larger scale. Because of their size, children can create structures that they can actually walk around, play inside or use as part of imaginative games. Just like the big Lego type bricks for children, jumbo building blocks turn construction into an active play experience. Children have to move, carry, stack and balance the blocks while working out how their structures will fit together. This makes large foam building blocks particularly interesting for nurseries, schools, childcare centres and families looking for construction toys that combine creativity with movement.

How do foam building blocks support children's development?
Building with large foam blocks is not just fun. It also encourages children to develop important physical, cognitive and social skills.
- Creativity and imagination
Children decide what they want to build and how their construction should look. There is no single correct result, which encourages open-ended creative play.
- Motor skills and coordination
Picking up, carrying, stacking and positioning large blocks involves movement and coordination. Children naturally practise their gross motor skills while building.
- Spatial awareness
Children learn how different shapes and sizes fit together. They begin to understand balance, position, height and space through practical play.
- Cooperation and communication
Large building projects are often more fun together. Children can work as a team, share ideas and decide together how to build their structure.

Why choose large foam building blocks?
