Your grandparents had ImagiBRICKS™ toy blocks when they were growing up. You won’t find them in stores but they still can be purchased online.
Parents, educators and doctors all recommend giant building blocks for toddlers and if you want the award-winning toy blocks you will have to pay a little more. Be careful when shopping in toy stores and on line, there are imitations that look like ImagiBRICKS™ and they have the same “brick design”, but they are not as strong and would crush if your child stood on them.
Toddlers and young children love to build tall towers and knock them down. They also love to carry things around. Because ImagiBRICKS™ are both strong and lightweight your toddler will build muscle strength by building structures as well as lifting and carrying the blocks.
As toddler learning toys, these giant building blocks also help teach math concepts and spatial awareness. Try a starter set of 16 pieces or our popular 40 piece set that includes three sizes of blocks, large red, medium blue and small yellow.
Children are always seeking out new ways to play creatively. But, there is also ways you can help them.
Here is a unique way to use your old typewriter; and if you do not have one maybe I will sell you mine!
Children often have a parent who works in an office and you can have fun teaching them about how an office is set up just like the one you work in. You can set up a mini office with the help of toy blocks by Smart Monkey Toys. These giant building blocks come in sets of Rainbow colors and can be ordered in any quantity you need from All I Can Imagine.
Set up the typewriter or maybe even an old keyboard on a child size table or a table made from the toy blocks. Make another work table and provide your children paper, pencils, telephone, address book and other child-safe office supplies. Set up another office and each of you will have fun interacting.
Children enjoy being creative and it will help them to make sense of the actual world we adults live in and they will especially love having you play with them. When you provide role playing activities in a real life setting you will gain greater insight into your child’s life and help him develop necessary social skills.
Cardboard toy blocks are made in the USA by Smart Monkey Toys. This toy company only uses recycled corrugated cardboard.
Their trade name for these toy blocks is ImagiBRICKS and all these giant building blocks are made of at least 50% recycled cardboard. The actual amount varies with each run, but is never less than 50%. The trees used for the remainder are all farmed.
The wonderful thing about corrugated cardboard is that it is strong, yet very lightweight, making it a wonderful choice for preschool play. The cardboard is printed with water-based, non-toxic colorful inks. And an additional clear ink coating to each block to make it water-resistant. The cardboard building blocks are also recyclable. Every component of the block sets are made right here in America. They are produced in Wisconsin, where there is a large paper industry.
Smart Monkey Toy’s warehouse is near the plant where the blocks are produced. By keeping everything close, this toy company cuts down on the fuel needed to transport materials and providing much needed jobs to American workers.
The paper industry in our country has been struggling with many companies buying their cardboard from China. China has to import their raw materials from the U.S. or Canada to make their cardboard. The lumber is transported from North American to China, made into cardboard and then transported back to North America. The cost of this inefficient process is lost jobs, and much greater use of valuable fuel.
