Key features & specs

How it compares

Unlike traditional wooden blocks from brands like Uncle Goose or plastic alternatives like LEGO, Rubbabu offers a noise-free and injury-proof experience. While wooden blocks provide structural rigidity for tall towers, natural rubber foam provides a sensory grip that helps children with limited dexterity. Compared to silicone blocks, these have a unique matte, velvety finish that prevents slipping during play.

How to use it

1. Introduce the blocks during tummy time to encourage reaching and grasping.
2. Use the vibrant colors to teach basic color identification and sorting.
3. Practice gentle stacking to develop hand-eye coordination without the risk of heavy falling pieces.
4. Incorporate them into sensory bins alongside other textures like silk or smooth wood.
5. Clean regularly by wiping with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging in water.

Sustainability & ethics

Rubbabu products are handcrafted in a family-owned ICTI-certified factory in India using sap tapped from the Hevea tree. This method ensures the trees remain productive for up to 30 years, supporting forest conservation. The brand uses no fillers or synthetic rubbers, and the nylon flocking is sourced responsibly to ensure a 100% vegan finished product.

Frequently asked questions

Are Rubbabu blocks worth it for babies?

Yes, they are highly worth it because the soft foam eliminates the risk of injury during the inevitable falling-block phase of development.

Are these blocks safe for teething?

While they are non-toxic and exceed safety standards, they are intended for building rather than chewing; constant gnawing may damage the nylon flocking.

How do these compare to plastic building tiles?

Rubbabu blocks offer a tactile, sensory experience that magnetic tiles lack, making them superior for infants and children with sensory processing needs.

Is the material 100% vegan?

Yes, the Natural Rubber Color Blocks contain no animal byproducts and are 100% vegan and cruelty-free.
