Baby's First Blocks - 1.5 inch square wooden blocks. Haba Baby's First Blocks - 1.5 inch square wooden blocks are the perfect first building blocks for baby. All 12 these wooden blocks are cubes, measuring 1.5 x 1.5 inches and are perfect for introducing concepts like color to your baby. Based on the Montessori teaching methods it is important to have only the attribute you are trying to teach change for optimal educational value. For instance - when teaching colors - it will be difficult for a baby, toddler or small child to understand what you are teaching if both the color and the sizes of the blocks are different (if you are using blocks as teaching material). But if the size of the blocks stay constant and only the color is changing then it is easier for babies to grasp the concept of color and to associate the word red with a particular block (hopefully the red one).

Haba Baby's First Blocks set includes 12 wooden blocks: 2 yellow blocks 2 red blocks 2 blue blocks 2 orange blocks 2 purple blocks These wooden blocks are also great for first stacking exercises and since the paint on the blocks are baby safe - your baby can freely explore these blocks with all their senses.
