What is giBlock?

The giBlock building set is a modern version of the Big Waffle Blocks and is made from foam polyethylene. This new material gives it unique properties such as lightness, water resistance, non-toxicity, and resistance to microorganisms and mold. The blocks are soft and pleasant to the touch, yet dense and sturdy enough for creating a variety of structures and shapes. Thanks to their shape, the blocks easily connect, making them ideal for building children's constructions such as houses, forts, walls, castles, vehicles, or mazes.

The giBlock building set is also great for physical activities such as obstacle courses, jumping over blocks, target throwing, and relay races with blocks. Children can jump, crawl, and move through the blocks, improving their balance, agility, and strength. Target throwing enhances precision and coordination, while building tracks fosters creativity and teamwork. The blocks can be used both indoors and outdoors.

The basic giBlock set includes 18 large blocks in three shapes and three colors (blue, yellow, red) with dimensions of 330×330×30 mm, 6 window inserts with dimensions of 150×150×30 mm, and 36 connecting blocks with dimensions of 60×30×30 mm.

One of the advantages of foam blocks is their water resistance and easy maintenance – just wipe them with a damp microfiber cloth. Thanks to their lightweight, they are safe for children. The giBlock building set is an excellent choice for children who enjoy playing and creating.

How many buildings need to be purchased?

 

A set of 18 blocks is enough to create various structures in a child's room. However, if you want to support the unlimited creativity of your children, consider buying a second set - it will allow you to create larger and more complex constructions, which will certainly please siblings or twins. For nurseries, groups and children's playrooms, two to three sets per playroom are recommended.

Development of skills 

 

The giBlock building kit supports the development of children's skills in several key areas. Thanks to its simplicity, versatility and the possibility of creating large structures, it is ideal for both educational and entertainment activities.

 

1. Development of motor skills

  • Gross motor skills: Handling larger blocks strengthens the muscles of the hands, arms and overall coordination of movements.

  • Fine motor skills: Accurately connecting blocks develops sensitivity and accuracy of hand movements.

2. Spatial imagination

  • Building different structures improves orientation in space and the ability to visualize.

  • It helps to understand the basics of geometry and architecture.

3. Creativity and problem solving

  • It supports children in experimenting and creating their own designs.

  • It teaches you to think about how to connect different elements together to make them stable and functional.

4. Cooperation and social skills

  • Ideal for group activities where children collaborate, plan and communicate.

  • They learn to divide roles and share resources.

5. Mathematical and logical skills

  • Children learn to count blocks and understand the basics of symmetry and balance.

  • Building more complex structures supports logical thinking.

6. Support of independence

  • Children can imagine what they will build themselves, which increases their confidence and planning skills.

7. Fun form of learning

  • The playful and colorful design makes the blocks appealing to children of all ages, so they learn naturally.



The giBlock kit thus combines fun with learning, which makes it a great tool for both home and school use.

Safety

 

Safety is one of the main advantages of the giBlock kit, which is popular not only as a toy, but also as a didactic aid thanks to its light foam material.

1. Light and soft material

  • Reduced risk of injury: Thanks to the foam construction, the blocks are light and soft, which minimizes the risk of injuries when handling or falling constructions.

  • Also suitable for the smallest children: Young children can safely learn to lift, connect and manipulate the blocks without fear of hard edges.

2. Large dimensions

  • No small parts: The blocks are large enough to avoid the risk of swallowing, which is especially important for younger children.

  • No sharp edges: The soft edges of the blocks ensure safe playing without the risk of injury.

3. Non-toxic materials

  • Foam blocks are made from non-toxic materials, which meet EU safety standards.
  • They comply with the following directives and standards: Directive 2009/48/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the safety of toys.
  • EN 71-1: [Mechanical and physical properties]  
  • EN 71-2: [Flammability]   
  • EN 71-3: [Migration of certain elements]  

 4. Impact resistance

  • The blocks absorb impacts, which protects not only children, but also the surrounding environment (e.g. floors, furniture).

  • They are also safe when falling from a height or overturning a larger structure.
