Soft enough for little hands and full of things to touch, stack and discover, the Soft Silicone Sensory Building Blocks turn a simple set of six cubes into an engaging early-learning activity.
Designed for children aged 18 months+, each pastel block features a raised number from 1 to 6, tactile relief patterns and a different geometric shape on top. Children can hold them, explore the textured surfaces, stack them into small towers and begin becoming familiar with numbers, shapes and colours through hands-on play.
The soft silicone construction makes the blocks especially inviting for toddlers who are still discovering the world through touch.

Six Blocks, Six First Numbers
Each block carries a large raised numeral:
1 · 2 · 3 · 4 · 5 · 6
At first, children may simply enjoy touching the raised shapes.
Later, parents can begin naming the numbers together:
“Can you find number two?”
“Which block comes after three?”
“Can we put number six on top?”
That allows simple number language to grow naturally from ordinary play.
Explore Different Textures
The sides of the blocks feature a variety of 3D embossed patterns.
Some surfaces use repeated lines or dots, while others show raised pictures and decorative motifs.
Running little fingers across the different sides creates a changing tactile experience and encourages children to turn each block around to see what else they can find.
Different Shapes on Top
The blocks also feature different raised shapes on their upper surfaces.
Across the six cubes, children can discover forms such as rounded, angular and geometric shapes.
They can begin noticing that:
one block looks different from another,
some shapes have corners,
others are rounder,
and every cube has its own combination of number, texture and top shape.
Stack & Rebuild
Simple stacking is one of the easiest activities to understand — and one of the most satisfying.
Place one block down.
Add another.
See how high the tower can go.
If it falls, simply start again.
Through that repeated play, children naturally practise positioning, balance and hand-eye coordination.
Soft Pastel Colours
The six blocks come in a calm pastel palette including tones of:
- Coral
- Sage green
- Purple
- Mustard yellow
- Warm beige
- Soft pink
The muted colours give the set a gentler appearance than many brightly coloured toddler toys while still making each block easy to distinguish.
Touch, Turn, Look & Compare
There is more to explore than just the front-facing number.
Children can rotate each cube and compare:
- Colours
- Numbers
- Raised patterns
- Pictures
- Top shapes
- Different sides
That simple process encourages observation and keeps the activity open-ended.
Early Building Play
These blocks offer an easy first introduction to construction play.
Young toddlers do not need a complex building system.
Two cubes stacked together are already a structure.
Three become a tower.
Six can become a row, a wall or a completely improvised arrangement.
The simplicity leaves plenty of room for experimentation.
Learning Through Everyday Play
Parents can gradually introduce small activities as the child becomes ready:
Number play — identify numbers 1–6.
Colour play — name and match the pastel colours.
Shape play — compare the different top forms.
Sensory play — explore the embossed surfaces.
Building play — stack, arrange and knock down the cubes.
There is no need to use all these ideas at once. The blocks can stay simple and grow with the child’s curiosity.

Gravitaly: Childhood, Carefully Curated
Gravitaly was created from a simple belief: families should not have to search through endless products to find something truly worth bringing into a child’s world.
We are not defined by one material, one country of origin or one style of play. Gravitaly is defined by curation—the thoughtful process of discovering products that combine purpose, design and genuine value for everyday family life.
Our collections bring together trusted European brands, independent makers and carefully selected global manufacturers. Each product is considered individually for what it can offer: imaginative play, growing independence, sensory discovery, practical support or a little more beauty and comfort in a child’s day.
We look beyond passing trends and crowded catalogues. Instead, we choose toys, baby essentials, school-day companions and children’s room pieces that feel relevant, useful and naturally at home within the Gravitaly world.
Some products encourage children to build, create and invent their own stories. Others make daily routines easier for parents or transform an ordinary corner into a place for reading, rest and imagination. What connects them is not sameness, but intention.
Our approach is selective rather than restrictive. We appreciate craftsmanship, thoughtful materials and timeless design, while also recognising that joyful childhood experiences can take many different forms. Product details—including materials, recommended age, origin and available certifications—are presented individually, allowing families to make clear and confident choices.
Every Gravitaly collection begins with one question:
Would we feel confident choosing this for a child we love?
This is what carefully curated means to us: fewer distractions, more meaningful choices and products selected to become part of real childhood—its games, routines, rooms, adventures and memories.
