At Brio, playing hard is working hard. The Swedish toy company, founded in 1884, is committed to helping children learn with toys that are designed simply and beautifully, for fully open-ended play that allows them to make the most of their own natural curiosity. The toys, made mainly with beech wood (which is sturdy, highly durable and a renewable resource) and thermoplastic (which can withstand even the biggest toddler tantrums!), are not a means to an end – rather, they’re about equipping children with ideas and inspiration to boost their coordination, creativity, planning and concentration skills. All Brio toys are free of PVC, lead and phthalates.
Block play is a timeless developmental activity that teaches your child to use his or her motor skills, logical thinking, concentration, imagination and enhances hand-eye coordination. Blocks can be a solo activity or played in a group setting and are a great tool to teach new words. The Brio Magnetic Blocks are unlike typical wooden blocks because they come in two different shapes and have built-in magnets for ultra high and creative stacking.
