• Greater creative skills – the ability to draw or create shapes will help your child transition from stick figure drawings into more detailed drawings using shapes or be able to create a face out of craft pieces.

• Sorting objects – children can use shapes as a method for sorting objects. Children that can sort objects by circles, squares, triangles, ovals or rectangles.

Character dolls to play make-believe

Make believe, also known as pretend play, is a loosely structured form of play that generally includes role-play, object substitution and nonliteral behavior. Pretend play is not only associated with developing general cognitive abilities and reinforcing existing knowledge, but recent research has been investigating how children learn new knowledge during pretend play.

When children participate in pretend play, they are integrating and strengthening previously acquired knowledge. Children who have better pretense and fantasy abilities also show better social competence, cognitive capabilities, and an ability to take the perspective of others.

A Parent's Guide to Building Blocks by Age: The Benefits of Block Play

Editor's Note:

As part of our commitment to providing timeless, valuable advice, this popular article has been updated to be a general guide on choosing age-appropriate building blocks. The specific brand examples have been replaced with descriptions of the types of blocks that best serve each developmental stage.

To explore our current collection of high-quality, creative building toys from our trusted brand partners, please click here.

Building blocks have been a childhood staple for decades, and for good reason. Building with blocks provides one of the most valuable learning experiences available for young children. Block play stimulates learning in all domains of development—intellectual, physical, and social-emotional—and, most importantly, allows a child's imagination to run free.

Researchers have even shown that children who play with blocks when they are three, four, and five years of age tend to perform better in math, especially Algebra, later in middle school.

Building Blocks for Kids at Different Ages

With so many types of baby blocks on the market, how do you know which kind is right for your child? Not all blocks will work for all age groups. There is a natural progression to block play, and introducing them at each stage is invaluable for development.

Blocks Play for Babies (3 to 12 months old)

When babies are first introduced to blocks, the play is all about sensory exploration. They are learning how to hold them, feeling their texture, and are attracted by their eye-catching colors. They will carry them around, bang them together to see what sound they make, and, of course, put them in their mouths. This simple play expands a young child’s expressive and receptive language as they learn new words and concepts.

Recommended Blocks for this Age: Soft Silicone Blocks
For this stage, choose blocks made from soft, food-grade silicone. These are perfect because they can double as a teether, which is great for itchy gums. This also helps the child learn the crucial hand-to-mouth movement needed for self-feeding. The different colors encourage visual stimulation and color recognition, making them an ideal first toy for all-around development.

Blocks Play for Toddlers (2 to 3 years old)

At this age, the aim of play shifts to developing the mind: to imagine, visualize, explore, and create. A two or three-year-old is beginning to engage in early pretend play and is learning concepts like sorting, ordering, counting, size, and shape.

Recommended Blocks for this Age: Large, Lightweight Interlocking Blocks
Look for blocks made from soft but sturdy foam or plastic. They should be lightweight enough for a toddler to handle easily but firm enough that their creations don't tumble over too often, which can cause frustration. Colorful visuals and a comfortable touch are key. These blocks should be durable, easy to clean, and safe, allowing kids to have fun while stimulating creativity and imagination.

Blocks Play for Preschoolers (4 to 5 years old)

By four and five, children's block play becomes more experienced, balanced, and organized. Constructive play is more open-ended and exploratory. Children begin to combine different structures to make more complex buildings, telling stories through their creations.

Recommended Blocks for this Age: Smaller, Complex Construction Sets
Introduce smaller, more intricate interlocking blocks. These types of sets emphasize how a single, simple shape can be used to create an infinite variety of things. They are perfect for teaching children how to translate a flat, 2D design into a 3D structure. This challenges their fine motor skills, encourages problem-solving, and takes their creativity to the next level.
