Although the foam can be turned and twisted, it will eventually fit back to its original shape. The surface is soft and the blocks make practically no noise when played with.

There are many different types of materials, wood, plastic, cardboard, magnetic, foam. MOOMU using TPR, as material and it is very good, the building blocks have a taste of vanilla, the same taste as the current vanilla soothie.

According to MOOMU designer's, if they found out its edges were not smooth enough when MOOMU soft blocks are manufactured, they are specially refined it one by one. They will not let it go the the market if they’re find out the quality was not good enough..

4. Purpose: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3/5 stars)

5. Price: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3/5 stars)

TPR shows advantages typical of both rubbery materials and plastic materials, TPR materials have the potential to be recyclable since they can be molded, extruded and reused like plastics That is why MOOMU price a bit high.
