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: Infanzia, accuratamente curata
Gravitaly è nata da una semplice convinzione: le famiglie non dovrebbero dover cercare attraverso infiniti prodotti per trovare qualcosa che valga davvero la pena portare nel mondo di un bambino.
Non siamo definiti da un materiale, un paese di origine o uno stile di gioco. Gravitaly è definita dalla curatela—il processo ponderato di scoperta di prodotti che combinano scopo, design e valore genuino per la vita familiare quotidiana.
Le nostre collezioni riuniscono brand europei di fiducia, produttori indipendenti e produttori globali accuratamente selezionati. Ogni prodotto è considerato individualmente per ciò che può offrire: gioco immaginativo, crescente indipendenza, scoperta sensoriale, supporto pratico o un po' più di bellezza e comfort nella giornata di un bambino.
Guardiamo oltre le tendenze passeggere e i cataloghi affollati. Invece, scegliamo giocattoli, articoli essenziali per neonati, compagni per la scuola e pezzi per le stanze dei bambini che sembrano rilevanti, utili e naturalmente a casa nel mondo Gravitaly.
Alcuni prodotti incoraggiano i bambini a costruire, creare e inventare le proprie storie. Altri rendono le routine quotidiane più facili per i genitori o trasformano un angolo ordinario in un luogo per la lettura, il riposo e l'immaginazione. Ciò che li collega non è l'uguaglianza, ma l'intenzione.
Il nostro approccio è selettivo piuttosto che restrittivo. Apprezziamo l'artigianato, i materiali attenti e il design senza tempo, pur riconoscendo che le esperienze infantili gioiose possono assumere molte forme diverse. I dettagli del prodotto—inclusi materiali, età consigliata, origine e certificazioni disponibili—sono presentati individualmente, consentendo alle famiglie di fare scelte chiare e sicure.
Ogni collezione Gravitaly inizia con una domanda:
Ci sentiremmo sicuri nello scegliere questo per un bambino che amiamo?
Questo è ciò che significa per noi "accuratamente curata": meno distrazioni, scelte più significative e prodotti selezionati per diventare parte dell'infanzia reale—i suoi giochi, le routine, le stanze, le avventure e i ricordi.
