Times Table Bubble Board, By Junior Learning - REVIEW


Nature/ Type:          Pop-it board with time table 

Rating:                     ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 

Recommended age:  7 year-old ++   

Who would love this: Kids that enjoy pop-it toys / parents looking for a stimulating timetable board 

 “Times Table Bubble Board” from Junior Learning makes multiplication looks fun and non-boring! I’m loving the magic of a pop fidget as a mathematical tool. 

Why I love ❤️ this toy:

(1) Learn Multiplication With Unique Pop-It Board 

Our 7-year-old is right at the stage of multiplication-learning, and he loves using this Bubble Board as a way to cross-check his timetable calculations. The soft silicone has 144 pop-it bubbles, arranged in the grid of 12 rows and 12 columns. The factors 1 to 12 are printed above the first horizontal bubble row, and on the left-most border of the first vertical bubble column. Each of the bubble is numbered with a sum in the Time Table (for example, the number “20” is printed on the bubble intersected with 4 X 5). Kids can pop the bubbles whilst solving the equation, one at a time. This bubble board keeps the kids engaged and focused with the counting, and it’s just so unbelievably satisfying to pop! 

(2) Observe And Discern Multiplication Patterns Using Time Table Board 

I love timetable boards - they are a great way to demonstrate patterns and relationship of the numbers in a visually-engaging way. Mathematics used to be THE subject that I dreaded the most, so I’m pretty happy to see such a clever and interactive mathematics aid, showing us the interesting patterns hidden behind the rules of multiplications. For example, kids can see from the board that any number multiplied by “one” will always remain as the same number, and any number multiplied by “10” will give us the original number + 0. 

(3) Light Weight & Engaging Silicone Pop-It Board  

I love that this board is light weight, keeping the kids occupied and happy, and stress-releasing. We love the durable, easy to clean, and “squeezable” silicone material. We love the addictive popping sound and the good large size. 

(4) Minimalist Design & Less Distracting 

I have seen many similar pop-it boards in the market with multi-colour rainbow options, but I personally think nothing beats the single colour of blue. It’s calming, less distracting, and functional with minimalist design. I also love that the factors 1 to 12 are printed on the horizontal and vertical borders of the board (not on the pop-it bubbles themselves), which makes this board less confusing compared to many similar timetable pop-it boards in the market.

100s Bubble Board, By Junior Learning - REVIEW



Nature/ Type:          Pop-it board with numbers  

Rating:                     ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️  

Recommended age:  5 year-old ++   

Who would love this: Kids who are learning to count & anyone who loves pop-it toys 

There is some hard-to-explain satisfaction behind the science of bubble-wrap popping. Imagine if we can combine the pop fidget and mathematics into ONE light weight, portable toy? This 100s Bubble Board from Junior Learning has fast becoming our four-year-old’s best companion since it arrived at our house recently. If you have a pre-school kid that enjoys “Pop-It” toys and counting, THIS is FOR YOU! 

Why I love ❤️ this toy: 

(1) Counting Up To 100 - Ascending & Descending Orders - Our girl loves numbers and has always been trying to “count up to 100” whenever she has a chance; however, given her short attention span, her counting attempts have constantly been disrupted by distractions and almost always ended with the question “where did I stop?”. This 100s Bubble Board is the answer to her counting goal! The pop-it bubbles guide the counting and keep her focused from 1 to 100, and it’s just so unbelievably satisfying to pop the bubbles one-by-one, from one row to the next! The double-sided board features numbers printed in ascending order on the front (arranged in grid of 10x10); once it’s done, flip it around and count it in descending order from 100 to 1. 

(2) Versatile & Multiple Uses - There is just so much potential in this seemingly simple board with 100 bubbles! I love the versatility of it - do skip counting with it and learn about the basic of multiplications, do addition and subtraction in a visual way using the bubbles, identify vertical rows of odd and even numbers, learn about place value, and find the number bonds to 100. I can’t wait to explore more about the magic of numbers with the kids using this board! 

(3) Travel-Friendly & Light Weight - We love bringing this travel-friendly board around - it’s light weight, keeping the kids occupied and happy, and stress-releasing. We love the durable, easy to clean, and “squeezable” silicone material. We love the addictive popping sound, and the never-ending flipping around and popping. I also love its good large size (20.32 x 20.32 cm). 

(4) Simple Blue - I have seen many similar pop-it boards in the market with multi-colour rainbow options, but I personally think nothing beats the single colour of blue. It’s calming, less distracting, and functional with minimal design.

Building Genius Gift Box, by Moluk - REVIEW


Nature/ Type:          Silicone toys with whimsical design  

Rating:                     ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Recommended age:  2 year-old ++   

Who would love this: Kids with BIG and UNLIMITED imaginations - there are just so many ways to play with these!  

Moluk is the creator of all things wacky, whimsical, and fun. They are addictively squashy, quirky in an adorable way, and full of character. Today, I would love to share about this “Building Genius Gift Box” - a clever package of Moluk toys, kindly gifted by Divisible by Zero (thank you!). 

Why I love ❤️ this toy: 

(1) Whimsical & Clever - Hix, Mox and Oibo are three playful buddies with inimitable unique personalities. They are awesome on their own, but unbeatable when come together as a team! This set includes 9-piece of Moluk silicone toys - three each of Hix, Mox and Oibo, in 3 different colours (blue, red, yellow). Mox is a ball with ginormous mouth that bites and swallows, a nimble body that rolls and can “fly” across the room like a superhero, two curious big eyes, and constantly surprises us with its many incredible acrobatic talents. Hix (oh Hix!) is a peculiar cone-shaped wizard with two silly eyes. It transforms into multi-shape and configurations with just a press or flip. It can be inverted inside out, folded down, pressed down, stacked on top or half-hidden within one another. And last come Oibo - a rollable, squeezable, squash-able, grip-able cube-like elastic friend - all geared-up for a party! 

(2) So Many Ways To Play! - Together, the team of three creates next-level wonders and endless possibilities! Mox loves hiding within Oibo and balancing itself on the tip of Hix; Hix loves pretending to be a “party hat”, whilst Mox enjoys transforming itself into a funny big nose. They make crazy towers, they find creative ways to hide, they do crazy poses, they tumble down hilariously, and they have the most amazing combined expressions (peeping eyes 👀 , cheeky grin). 

(3) Grow With The Kids - These are awesome tactile, sensory and bath toys that can grow with the kids! They are light weight, easy to be stored away, and travel around with the family. Younger kids can grasp and bounce them around; older kids can sort them by colours and shapes, or stack them up like building blocks. 

(4) Good Material - These cute little guys are made from good grade silicone and are BPA-free, phthalate-free, latex-free. They are durable, dishwasher safe, loved by all ages!

My First Dice - Soft Blue & Soft Mint, By Jellystone Designs - REVIEW



Nature/ Type:          Silicone dice  

Rating:                     ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 

Recommended age:  9 month-old ++   

Who would love this: Small kids exploring the magic of numbers  

I’m a big fan of Jellystone Designs silicone sensory toys - they are irresistibly squishy and squashy, encourage open-ended play, versatile and stimulating! Today, I would like to share about “My First Dice - Soft Blue & Soft Mint”. Seriously, how CUTE are these dice! 

Why I love ❤️ this toy: 

(1) 2 Dice With Numbers & Images - “My First Dice” comes in a pack of 2 dice, each in the dimension of 6x6x6 cm. I love the adorable and chunky size - they are fun to hold and even funner to throw. The blue dice has numeral symbols 1 to 6 on each face, and I love the thoughtful tiny mark included at the bottom right of each of the number (which can help kids to identify the orientation of each numeral). For example, there is a small dot next to the lower part of number “6”, and a tiny square at the bottom right of “4”. The other dice in soft mint has a number of shapes on each face (matching the number 1 to 6), for example, “5” is represented by image of five triangles, “2” by two 5-sided pentagons, and “3” by three stars. There are so many ways to use these dice - roll them around and knock something down, play hopscotch with them, match up the symbols and the number of shapes, count the numbers, play a game of classic “snake and ladder”, or simply create new games with these multi-purpose dice! 

(2) Tactile Images - The images on the surfaces are tactile in nature (slightly raised), providing an additional layer of sensory experience! These dice are soft enough for chewing, but sturdy enough to stay in their original cube shape. The cubes are durable and watertight - perfect for playdough, water, or any sensory activities! 

(3) Beautiful Colours - I have been provided with the “Soft Blue & Soft Mint” dice for review. But like many Jellystone products, these dice also come in other colour ranges - “Bubblegum and Peach”, “Blush and Snow”, and “Sage and Berry”. There is sure a range that would capture your heart! 

(4) Safe Material - Jellystone products are crafted using FDA approved, dishwasher-safe, toxic-free silicone. They are free from nasties (BPA, PVC & Phthalates), and in compliance with Australian standard for toy safety. I love that these dice are safe to go in bubs mouth and in bath.

Balloon Colour Sorter - Rainbow Bright, By Jellystone Designs - REVIEW


Nature/ Type:          Wooden board with silicone puzzle pieces 

Rating:                     ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Recommended age:  9 month-old ++   

Who would love this: Young kids that love rainbow & sensory/ playdough activities  

I love toys that can be used in multiple creative ways. Jellystone Designs has a range of originally-designed silicone range that fits this criteria perfectly. I’m grateful for the chance to review this “Balloon Colour Sorter - Rainbow Bright” - another sensory play item with lots of fun and BIG potential! 

Why I love ❤️ this toy: 

(1) Vibrantly Colourful Balloons Puzzle - This toy has the loveliest graphic design that touches the nostalgic sentiment of the parents and captures the hearts of the kids. On the wooden base, there is an adorable baby elephant (that reminds me of Dumbo from Disney but minus the enormous ears) with soft shade of grey and a little hint of sweet pink on its ears, cheeks and toes. Held and entangled tightly around the trunk is a bunch of 7 balloons in vibrant rainbow colour hue - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. (If you prefer something of a gentler shade, Jellystone Designs also has a “Rainbow Pastel” version with “sweet baby colours”). Each of the balloon has a removable silicone piece (with corresponding colours as the balloons illustrations). I love the chunky, ergonomically-designed gripper on these silicone tops - it’s fun for kids to train up their pincer grasp skill whilst doing colour-matching activity. Super cute! 

(2) Textural Design - The silicone pieces have textural footprints on the base - some looks like prints left behind by kittens, some are probably traces of little goslings. The footprints come in pairs; either in 4, 6 or 8 marks. They can be used in any sensory, messy or playdough activities! We used it with the gorgeously scented Play Sense dough from the The Kid Cave - the stamps made such a lovely collection of “footprints” cookies that we can’t wait to “bake” in our pretend oven. 

(3) Wooden Base - I love the wooden, sturdy puzzle base made of FSC responsibly sourced basswood. There is also a cotton tote bag included for easy storage! 

(4) FDA Approved Silicone - The product is made of child-friendly, FDA approved silicone. They are safe and toxic-free material. The silicone tops are chewable, and can be cleaned using a steriliser, placed in a dishwasher or washed with warm soapy water.

Over The Rainbow, By Jellystone Designs - REVIEW


Nature/ Type:          Silicone rainbow stackers 

Rating:                     ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 

Recommended age:  9 month-old ++   

Who would love this: Parents who are looking for good quality and versatile silicone toys for their little ones 

Jellystone Designs has a range of exciting silicone toys, and I’m in love with their vibrantly colourful and appealing style. Each of the products are addictively squishy and squashy, perfect for sensory discovery. Have you heard of the latest “Over The Rainbow” silicone arches? I can’t wait to tell you more about this simply irresistible new comer! 

Why I love ❤️ this toy: 

(1) 5 Unique Rainbow Arches - “Over The Rainbow” is made up of 5 arches of different sizes and colours. I love the unique and unseen-before curvy and rounded design that immediately sets this toy apart from the conventional rainbow stackers in market. Each of the stacker is wide and short, and can be perfectly “nestled” on another in ascending order to form a delightfully balanced 5-tiered rainbow. But I think the real magic happens when we “separate” the rainbow - we can decorate our enchanted world with the individual arches, we can balance them on top of each other, we can use them as bath toys, create beautiful prints on playdough, or simply flip the arches around and turn them into 5 rocking hammocks for our fairy and gnome friends! I love the open-ended concept and versatility of this toy! 

(2) Garden-Theme Design - I love the garden-theme! The biggest green arch has bees-buzzing pattern; the blue arch has images of wiggly worm, snail and tomato. The purple medium arch contains weather-related symbols: sun, cloud, breezy lines, and raindrops. The orange arch is decorated with lovely floral images; and the smallest yellow arch is adorably adorned with pictures of bird, ladybird, and butterfly. All the garden-related images are tactile in nature and provides an additional layer of sensory experience!

(3) Awesome Colours Range - “Over The Rainbow” comes in a selection of colours range; “Rainbow Bright” for those who love stunning and bold colours; “Rainbow Pastel” for those that prefer something sweet and soothing, and “Earth” for those who are looking for something unusual. 

(4) Safe Silicone Material - Jellystone products are crafted using FDA approved, dishwasher-safe, toxic-free silicone. They are free from nasties (BPA, PVC & Phthalates), and in compliance with Australian standard for toy safety. 

Simply awesome!

Flipsee, By Mobi - REVIEW

Nature/ Type:          Alphabet board with silicone flaps 

Rating:                     ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 

Recommended age:  12 month-old ++   

Who would love this: Young kids that want a little "companion" + parents looking for a visually appealing words/ alphabet learning tool 

Thanks to Divisible by Zero , we recently discovered Flipsee from Mobi - a sturdy alphabet board that has quickly become our Little Missy’s trusted and faithful companion. Not only that it is visually-appealing with bright and attractive colours, Flipsee also incorporates tactile elements for sensory exploration and provides a creative way for alphabet learning! 

Why I love ❤️ this toy: 

(1) Features 26 Alphabet Letters + Flaps - This azure blue alphabet board is a delightful friend to our three-year-old girl - it calms her on moody days, soothes her during restless moments, and brings smile to us all, day-to-day. The board features 26 alphabet letters in both upper and lower case, each with its own liftable flap that gives us a glimpse of animals/ objects associated with the letters. It reminds me of a cheeky game of Peek-a-Boo, and an adorable “lift-the-flap” book. I absolutely love the sensory silicone material of these 26 bright and colourful “windows”. I like the clever touches on the design that make the flaps really easy to be opened and closed by little hands. 

(2) Letter & Word Correlation - Each flap, when lifted, reveals an animal that starts with the letter (“A” for “Alligator”, “B” for “Bear”, and “C” for “Camel” etc), with the name of the animals printed beneath the picture. Once the kids get familiar with the animals, they can take the challenge a step further by identifying the additional object in the picture that starts with the same letter, e.g. a “gorilla” strumming a “guitar”, a “hedgehog” with his “Hula Hoop”, and an “octopus” holding an “orange” etc. This is an awesome learning tool for object recognition,  and letter / word correlation. 

(3) Shape-Learning - At the reverse of the board are 8 colourful shapes, each labelled with the name of the shape (circle, square, triangle, hexagon, oval, rectangle, heart, and star). I love that each of the shape is surrounded by a unique pattern of raised border for an additional textural touch. 

(4) Light Weight + Handle - The board is light weight and thoughtfully designed with an easy-to-hold handle. I also love the calming non-primary colours range of the flaps - fuchsia pink, light orange, soft lawn green, and sweet turquoise.

Pop The Box, By Blue Orange - REVIEW

Nature/ Type:          Modified version of a classic game 

Rating:                     ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 

Recommended age:  7 year-old ++   

Who would love this: Kids & adults that love quick & fast-paced number games 

I grew up popping bubble wrap 🤣 . That was, of course, way before fidget toys became an internet frenzy and when “pop-its” toy wasn’t quite a “thing” yet. We recently brought this “Pop The Box” from Blue Orange (kindly gifted by Leisure Learning ) to our 2-weeks road trip, and we’re falling in love with this amazing travel toy through and through!

Why I love ❤️ it: 

(1) "Pop-It" Version Of The Classic Game - “Pop The Box” is essentially a 2-player, pop-it version of the classic “Shut The Box” game. The set includes a silicone tray with 2 rows of 9 popping bubbles with numbers on them (1 to 9), two dice, and an instruction sheet. On each turn, player rolls the two dice and pop the number / or combination of numbers that add up to the total sum. For example, if you roll a 3 and a 6, you can pop the number 9, or any combination of numbers that add up to 9 (eg 6 + 3 / 2 + 4 + 3 / 1 + 2 + 6 etc). The first player that completed the popping of all the 9 numbers in a row / or the player with the lowest remaining “un-popped” numbers wins. We love the soft and pliable board. I love that the set incorporates a sensory element into a competitive game. It’s modern, fun, and tactile. Once the game is done, flip the board over, press all the bubbles down, and start the game again! I’m not a big fan of luck-based game, but Pop The Box is highly addictive with great replay value. I love the versatile game tray that can also be used as a therapeutic, stress-relief fidget toy. 

(2) Quick Maths Game - This is a simple and fast-paced mathematics game for young kids. Our 6 year-old enjoys it. I love watching him thinking up all-sorts of possible and alternative number combinations, whilst figuring out the best strategy to win. This is an ideal game to kill some time, keep the kids entertained, get quick stimulation to the brain, and develop arithmetic skills. 

(3) Light Weight & Travel-Friendly - The game components are light weight and travel-friendly. With only a tray and two dice, the game has zero set-up time and is super easy to pack-up. 

(4) Pop Of Colours - I also love the bright and bold colours - striking pink and yellow bubbles divided by a soft turquoise tray. The game components are visually-appealing and a joy to look at!

Ocean Stacking Cups, By Jellystone Designs - REVIEW



Nature/ Type:          Open ended, multi-purpose silicone toy for kids! 

Rating:                     ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 

Recommended age:  9 month-old ++   

Who would love this: Kids with imaginations - the possibilities are almost endless! 

Some toys require careful setting-up and meticulous study of rules, but some, need no explanation and have limitless play possibilities. This “Ocean Stacking Cups” by Jellystone Designs belongs to the latter: open-ended, multi-purpose, squeezable and oh-so-much-fun! 

Why I love ❤️ this toy: 

(1) 5 Stacking Cups + 5 Treasure Coins - The set includes 5 stacking cups and 5 treasure coins. Simple, unassuming, but so versatile and full of surprises! Place the items before the kids, sit back, relax, and watch them inspire you with their boundless play ideas. The girl loves to include these bowl-like pieces in her pretend kitchen, serving up matching treasure coin “donuts” with them. She also loves building sculpture by stacking the cups high in the order of descending size. These cups also make amazing bath toy with cut-out holes that create interesting water drizzling-down effect. We also love building dome-shaped sandcastles using them, and stamping marine images on our sensory playdough. You can also sort them, match them, nest them, hide objects under them (and play “guess what’s under”), or simply use them as containers. The possibilities are almost endless! 

(2) Marine Animals - I love the beautiful ocean-inspired design. Each of the cup features different marine animal; 3 graceful whales on the largest cup, follows by 3 teeth-showing sharks, 3 turtles, 3 happy-looking octopuses, and 3 crabs (two half-hidden in shells). Each has mini-cutouts patterns at the top for added textural feel. The 5 treasure rings have imprints with different number of fishes; our white ring (that matches the largest cup) has 5 fishes on it, and our mint-colour ring (that matches the smallest cup) has only 1 fish on it. We love the sea creatures theme! 

(3) Colour Range Options - The stacking cups come in several colour range options; ours is the “Ocean” range - quiet and calming in white, cloudy grey, darker shark grey, navy blue and sweet turquoise / mint. If you prefer something bold and sharp, the “Rainbow Bright” range is for you! 

(4) Silicone Material - Jellystone Designs uses FDA (Federal Drug Administration) approved silicone, and its products are in compliance with Australian standard for toy safety.

DIY Calm Down Bottle - Galaxy, By Jellystone Designs - REVIEW


Nature/ Type:          Elegantly-designed bottle to create unique sensory & calm-down experience 

Rating:                     ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 

Recommended age:  3 year-old ++   

Who would love this: Parents looking for quality sensory products for young kids 


My new year resolution 2023 is to eat gelato with no worries, count my blessing, complain less, and do my best to STAY CALM. 😊 Today, I would like to talk about this “DIY Calm Down Bottle - Galaxy” from Jellystone Designs which amazes us consistently with its mesmerising magic and calming-down effect. 

Why I love ❤️ this toy: 

(1) Unique Sensory Creation - Jellystone Calm Down Bottle is a sleek-looking, light weight, cylindrical clear container, completes with two tightly-fitted silicone caps at both ends. The set comes with a small refill bag with craft elements and an instruction manual. Our “Galaxy” theme bottle includes a range of beautifully-curated blue and silvery materials, including furry pom-poms, snowflakes, stars, sparkly confetti, and a mini tube of royal blue glitter. Our three-year-old LOVES the setting-up process - from filling-up the bottle with the sensory package, adding warm water, securing the lid, popping the silicone cap back, to shaking and tipping the bottle upside-down to create the enchanting experience. This is a simple yet engaging craft exercise! We are completely captivated by the interaction between the various elements - the soothing and slow-flowing materials in the liquid, whirling and dispersing, descending from one end of the bottle to the other, while reflecting shimmer of lights from different angles. I love the visually-stimulating display that changes with each turn and swirl.

(2) Silicone Caps - The silicone casings on both ends were thoughtfully-designed to tightly fit onto the bottle (they are VERY HARD to be removed by little hands - a fantastic safety feature!). I love the texturally raised design of ridges and dots on the silicone covers that gives an additional sensory touch for the little ones! 

(3) Reusable - The best part? The bottle is reusable and we can replace the contents as many times as we like! I have seen inspiring ideas in blogs/ social media, including using clear glue or washing up liquid, fresh flowers, oil and food colourings, fairy lights or Glo Pals. We can also purchase sensory refill packets from Jellystone Designs (with various themes such as Glow In the Dark, Rainbow and Ocean).

Rainbow Stacker and Teether Toy, By Jellystone Designs - REVIEW


Nature/ Type:          Beautifully-designed silicone toy  

Rating:                     ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Recommended age:  0 month-old ++   

Who would love this: Parents looking for silicone teether that can "grow with the kids" for different development stages. 

 “The Tooth Fairy has an evil twin called the Teething Fairy …. and she’s a bitch.” (quote from unknown) 🤣😭. Yes, it has been quite many years ago for us, but the memory is still VIVID. We used to rely on a teething ring that worked a little miracle (well, at least occasionally) when the horrendous tooth eruption occurred. But, what if the kids can have a teething ring that can “grow” with them and be their faithful companion at different developmental stages? That’s what “Rainbow Stacker and Teether Toy” from Jellystone Designs is all about! 

Why I love ❤️ this toy: 

(1) 5 Different Textures - At a glance, you might think this is “just another silicone stacking toy”; but it’s MUCH MORE than what it seems! I was immediately attracted to the 5 very different textures of the stacking ring. The biggest purple piece reminds me of a “steering gear” from a pirate ship, with ridges and grooves that gives it an uneven “bumpy” touch. The blue piece features a bracelet of beads, and the medium green piece has shape of stars raised slightly at the side. The yellow piece is a pretty little ring of “daisy flower”, and the smallest orange piece has cute chunky handle and a simple round design. I love how “sensory” and visually stimulating they are. 

(2) Colours + Numbers - Apart from “Rainbow Bright”, this teething stacker also comes in other colours range: Ocean, Pastel, Earth, and Dusty. Our three-year-old (who has just started recognising numeral symbols) was delighted when she realised each layer of the stacker is numbered - the top orange piece has the numeral “1” on the handle, and the rest of the layers each has a number (2 to 5, ascending is size) at the centre. 

(3) Sensory Toy + Stacker - Apart from being a soothing chewy toy for teething babies, this is also a tactile sensory toy and a stacker for hand-eye coordination. The best part? Each of the pieces can easily connect to another ring, so you can be creative with the stacking and make a different pile of rings each time! I also can’t wait to check out its use as beach and bath toys. This is one awesome, versatile product! 

(4) Silicone Material - Jellystone uses FDA approved silicone; the products are BPA-free, non-toxic, freezer safe, and dishwasher safe.

TriBlox, By Jellystone Designs - REVIEW


Nature/ Type:          Silicone stacking + number-learning blocks 

Rating:                     ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Recommended age:  12 month-old ++   

Who would love this: Any small kids (especially those that love sensory play and tactile toys) 

Silicone toys transcend all ages. They are addictively squishy, squashy, and squeezable. I’m so glad to receive this irresistible and extremely engaging Jellystone Designs TriBlox for a review, and I can’t wait to share about this with you today! 

Why I love ❤️ this toy: 

(1) 9 Triangular Blocks - Included within are 9 triangular blocks that can be stacked and arranged in so many ways and combinations. Our three-year-old giggled with such joy while creating her unique rainbow pyramid (you need all 9 triangular blocks to build that), “BIG” flavours pizza, 9-tiered triangle cake, Imaginative zoo, and story-telling block-characters. These Triblox comes in 3 different range of colours: Rainbow Bright, Pastel, and Earth. We got a Rainbow Bright version, which is VERY awesome because our girl is obsessed with everything rainbows-related. Each of this block is hollow from the bottom, which provides fantastic potential for sand, water and sensory play! We love the tactile, light weight and squeezable feel of these silicone blocks; this toy is marvellous to train-up hand-eye coordination for young toddlers, and is also very entertaining for older kids who have unrestrained creativity! 

(2) Numbers & Counting - Our three-year-old loves doing her counting up to 10; she’s delighted when she realised that the blocks each has a number (1 to 9) on it with corresponding textured illustrations on the other side. For example, the yellow block has a single rainbow on one side and the numeral “1” on the other side; the darker green block has nine stars and the numeral “9” on it. I love the nature-inspired illustrations such as clouds, bumblebees, raindrops, leaves, flowers, birds etc. 

(3) Toxic-Free Silicone - Jellystone Designs’ Sensory Play range is made of toxic-free silicone and is free from nasties (BPA, PVC & Phthalates). I love that the material is easily-cleanable using warm soapy water, and is also dishwasher safe. 

(4) Drawstring Bag Included - These TriBlox come in a very smartly designed cardboard box that keeps the blocks organised in a pyramid stack. But if you want a quick and easy pack-up, the set also includes a cotton drawstring bag for storage. We love this thoughtful little touch!
