Foam blocks are fantastic toys for babies and toddlers. They encourage movement, climbing, crawling, and building. This supports motor development, muscle strength, coordination, and spatial awareness. While playing, your child grows stronger and more confident — all while having fun. For even more active play, combine the foam blocks with a ball pit.

The Benefits of Our Foam Blocks

For daily use: ideal for nurseries, home, and professional childcare

Encourage Motor Skills and Creativity

Foam blocks promote active play and support motor skills, balance, and creative thinking. Children learn to recognise shapes and colours, build their own creations, and explore safely. Our foam shapes are soft and safe, giving your child the freedom to move and experiment. Want even more play possibilities? Check out our other soft play sets.

Foam Blocks & Montessori Play

Montessori education focuses on hands-on learning through play. Foam blocks are perfect for this: children can explore independently, build, and create. This helps develop cognitive skills and boosts self-confidence. Want to expand your setup? Combine the blocks with a foam rocker or balance bridge.

Foam Play for Babies and Toddlers

From 9 months onward, babies can play with soft and lightweight foam blocks. As they grow, they can take on more complex play — like stacking, balancing, or building obstacle courses. You’ll also find individual elements to expand your foam set over time.

Practical, Safe and Easy to Clean

All of our foam blocks are made from PE foam with a washable faux leather cover. Some sets come with Velcro strips so the blocks stay together during play. All blocks are made in Europe and meet the highest safety standards. Ideal for daily, safe use.

Expandable Sets for Endless Fun

Looking to build your own foam play area? At Marjems.co.uk, you can buy blocks separately. Mix and match shapes, sizes and colours to create your perfect indoor playground. All pieces work together and can be combined with other soft play items.
