Our take on the Excellerations Soft Color U-Blocks

Excellerations Soft Color U-Blocks are a 60-piece set of solid rubberwood blocks in soft pastel tones, shaped like a U and sized for small hands. Each block is about 2-3/4 inches tall and 1 inch wide, and the set includes 36 dowel pegs so kids can stack, link and build. The smooth, non-toxic finish and rounded U shape make it a sturdier, quieter alternative to plastic building sets. It suits toddlers and preschoolers working on stacking, sorting, patterning and early counting, though the small pegs mean it is not for children under 3.

Best forToddlers and preschoolers ages 3 and upParents who prefer wood toys over plasticQuiet, screen-free play at home or in a classroomEarly math and fine-motor practice
Pros

Questions and answers

What age is this block set for?
It is recommended for ages 3 and up. The 36 dowel pegs are small, so keep the set away from children under 3.
What is included in the set?
You get 60 U-shaped rubberwood blocks in soft colors plus 36 dowel pegs. No assembly is required.
How big is each block?
Each block is about 2-3/4 inches long, 1 inch wide and 2-3/4 inches tall, a good size for toddler hands.
Is the finish safe for toddlers?
The blocks use a smooth, non-toxic finish on solid rubberwood. Inspect them for chips or loose pegs before each play session.
