Because you can also combine the set with Lego - they it perfectly - or through the challenge of combining alphabets and numbers blocks. The toy is very versitale, it will definitely give children direct motivitation to learn through challenging games.

By wanting to find specific letters or numbers while playing the blocks,children can reepeatedly practice recognizing that specific alphabets or numbers. Which can make them easily remember the shape.

Plus-Plus is so fun! Plus-Plus unboxing

Every time I see this kind of toy with simple design but endless creativity, I literally will be in a state of "falling into a black hole" - this means I will buy more, let my child play with them more and seek for a new way to play. The same case with Plus-Plus building blocks, it probably broke my personal limit again. Plus-Plus is really fun!

I also completed the super, super complicated, but terribly powerful Plus-Plus x World Map, it's really fun and taking me so much time to finally finished.

After playing with Plus-Plus blocks for some time, I am very sure that it is really helpful to my daughter, Pupu, she know the 3D construction concept better now! Now, when constructing objects, she has her own set of logic and steps.

What is Plus-Plus?

Plus-Plus - a construction toy for hours of creative play

Plus-Plus has a unique design in one shape and 2 sizes that can interlock with other Plus-Plusses that are identical to it. From a single repeated element you can create anything that you can think of, both in 2D and in 3D. It is a perfect educational toy that stimulates fine motor skills, creativity, focus and patience!

Plus-Plus is made in Denmark. The Plus-Plus factory and headquarters uses 100% green energy from wind power and we have a “NO WASTE” production. All products and packaging are 100% recyclable.

In addition, Plus-Plus received a super high score of 4.9 stars on Amazon. Pass the EU EN71-1, 71-2, 71-3 toy inspection standards. Does not contain plasticizer, so it is safe for children to play.

And because of Plus-Plus I’ve been invited to Xue Xue Institute. Looking forward an opportunity to have my own class in Xue Xue Institute, finger crossed.

There are 2 kinds of Plus-Plus according to its size, Midi and Mini.

The proportions in my hand.

Midi can be played children over 1 year old (parents still need to supervise). Mini are suitable for children over 3 years old (don’t swallow, please supervise your child while playing).

The colors included in each collections.

There are a total of 9 combinations of Plus-Plus block to block assemble.

First let me introduce 600 pcs Midi rainbow collection

This kind of building blocks the more is the merrier. For my daughter Pupu, I don’t really need to give he any instructions, she already is an expert in building blocks. This time, let us see what Pupu can create with Plus-Plus.

On Saturday morning, Pupu is very considerate while taking care of Dad, she is playing with building blocks quietly, lol, see how her father sleep.

Midi are very easy to assemble.

There is a nice feeling when you holding Midi, it is thick but not heavy and not light either, it is hard for me to describe, but when you assemble Midi I feel very therapeutic.

At the beginning, you can accompany your child to combine the 2D images first. The 2D pattern of the butterfly is very suitable for children to learning symmetrical patterns. Parents can do one side first, and then let the children practice the other side. I also took my CD as a scale, see how big the butterfly is, hahaha.

Combining 2D designs no longer can satisfy me! Here are my creation, not Pupu’s.

From left: Spiderman, Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America

I don’t think about what I would like to create from the beginning, but the inspiration is suddenly come into my mind. Although, my Avengers creation is very cute, but Pupu will have no feeling at all, she is more of a princess girl. Then, I try to create princesses, who know I create it until 2 AM.

And, I finally made it!! The 4 princesses. Can you tell who they are?

Don’t tell me you can’t tell yah! It is very obvious.

Although the Snow White is wearing culotte, but you can see right? It is Snow White.

Even a 5 years old girl can tell that she is the “Let it Go”.

I am super satisfied with Ariel’s tail.

And~~~They can also exchange their skirts, hahaha!

Of course, it’s no problem to create a more masculine designs. Like this excavator, it can really dig. Different angles can be changed between building blocks and building blocks. You can also change the angle of excavator to give them a digging position.

The carrots!

Roaster with duck.

You can create anything! No matter a boat, a car, a plane, or anything, you can create all…. with your imagination of course.

Midi 20 pcs pastel collection are so dreamy.

You can create a flower.

Or a chick with a tree.

Or a little human, with an addition of a flower it can turn into a little girl.

Ok, now let me introduce the Mini collections.

You can create so many designs with the Mini. There are 3 collections of Mini, which is Neon, Pastel, and Rainbow.

Let us start from what Pupu choose, of course the dreamy Pastel collection. There are so many different colors in each box. What a fun combination! The color of the pastel collection looks really comfortable.

If you choose the big box, please prepare to not receiving any instruction card. But don’t worry, if you go to Plus-Plus official website, they have a section special for finding inspirations.

220 pieces of 3 in 1 Pastel collections in very suitable for an entry level, the price is also affordable!

3 in 1 means that with this box you can create 3 works. But because it is only 220 pieces, you might need to disassemble after you finish it in order to create the other one.

The whole series of Plus-Plus building blocks are made in Denmark, which I think this is very rare now.

There are details of each colors quantity, however, is there anybody who really recount them? I am too lazy to do that.

It comes with a How to Assemble card.

I formed a track, carriages, cargo compartments, stations, and fences.

Not long after that Pupu create a glasses.

Plus-Plus blocks can form a circle or other arcs by changing the angle of the connection between the blocks. For a five-year-old Pupu, there is basically no difficulty in combining and assemble the blocks.

Plus-Plus texture is not only a plastic texture, it is a plastic but also have an elastic feeling. But since the Mini collection is relatively small, it still need some effort to combine. So I need to take a break after playing with Plus-Plus, not only Pupu enjoyed playing with Plus-Plus, even me the adult is also enjoy it very much.

Let's set up a crown first, follow the step-by-step instruction.

Slowly adjust a long strip of blocks into a circle and connect them.

Put the decorations on the crown in order.

How can there be no scepter with a crown! So I make a scepter immediately, lol.

And here is my cute Princess Pupu.

And the King and his Princess, like father like daughter, two people that I love so much.

Next, horse carriage.

And I turned them into…….

A house! Or more like a gazebo.

This building blocks can be played together with Lego! BAKOBA floating blocks, designs for endless play

Have you ever imagined a kind of building blocks that can strengthen a child's concept of construction, without making any noise, but also can be played in the water, or play it with other big building blocks brand?

BAKOBA floating blocks, designs for endless play!

It is all begin when two designer from Denmark came up with this design idea. He was part-time in the kindergarten, he saw the way children playing with their toys or games. Of course, after many years of research and improvement finally we are able to have today's design.

The name of BAKOBA floating blocks comes from a small white flower called Bacopa. Bacopa has a very amphibious growth, it can not only grow in the soil buBakobat also float on the water, hence the name. So the designer drew inspiration from it and had this amphibious idea. This unique design also allowed BAKOBA to win the 2012 German Red Dot Design Award! The design originated from Denmark, but if you look closely it is Made in Taiwan.

In 2012, when BAKOBA first came out, the design size was 20 times larger than it is now! I know, it is huge! You may can only see that kind of toy in the museum, it is too big to have it at home.

Fortunately, the designer later reduced it to a size that is more suitable for ordinary families. Don't think these building blocks look so small, but in fact they are still big! But it's very easy to hold and safe! So now many kindergartens in Europe use BAKOBA as teaching tools.

Each block has a square joint, which can be joined horizontally or three-dimensionally, making the creativity become infinite; there are also many holes like screw holes, which can be combined with various shapes using strip connectors.

Children can quickly get started with the combination of various edged. Children who are have a slower development can start building a simpler designs, the important things is these inconspicuous little moves and works are good to develop hand-eye coordination and to train their small muscle.

As for these strip connectors, as long as you don't put them in your mouth, there is no danger.

You can hide the connector in the building block with just the right size, and the shape will look even better; but I prefer to expose the connector so that children can see how the structure is connected. With proper guidance, I am confident that every child can gradually create many large-scale works from small works.

BAKOBA's connectors are designed to be very stable. I really feel that children under the age of six need to put an extra energy to build independently. After playing for a month, those joints and connector have not been loosened at all. This quality is so good!

If there are young children at home, it is recommended to give them in stages. First, give them blocks, and you can let them create without worrying about the strip connectors. Don’t let them play with the strip connectors until they grow bigger.

Isn’t it amazing? Although some people think the color is monotonous.

But when I think of BAKOBA, it makes me think of the Viking, with all the red, gray, and white vibes. Plus, it can be embellished with Lego, which is not monotonous at all. Simple base color matching, even if the finished product is abstract, will produce all kinds of fun because of the good-looking color matching.

Because the EVA material is not only washable, it is lighter than the material; even larger pieces of building blocks can also be curved so easily.

Children are always be the first one who want to share works with their parents. Sometimes when they pick up the works and walk around, they lose their focus and drop their creation and all loose... But with Bakoba you can relax, it is not easily loosen and even if child falling they will not get hurt, because Bakoba is soft.

BAKOBA is equipped with a special square Lego connector or adaptor, which can connect Lego to it. If you don't have any special ideas, it is also nice to attach the connector to the transparent Lego as an embellishment. But my kids are not interested in decoration, so we rarely use these as accessories.

That day, because my daughter had not finished class yet, my son is facing the unfamiliar BAKOBA alone, he was very resistant at first. I asked him to pick out all the parts according to the instructions, and then accompany him to read the BAKOBA instructions and follow the steps.

After finishing the first work, a sailboat, I am so proud and offer to help him take picture together with the sailboat. This is my son first creation.

The fact that BAKOBA can go into the water also makes the children excited. It's really an unprecedented experience to have a bath with your proud work. The premise is that the temperature of the water should not exceed 40 degrees to prevent children from being cooked with toys, haha. The biggest worry is that the spacecraft is too big and takes up space in the bathtub, lol.

The most annoying aftermath it to tidy up and to clean! Although below picture is taken from BAKOBA’s official website, but you can really throw BAKOBA into washing machine! Because I am a mother who are in the lazy-mom category, means I don’t really disinfected my children’s toy, don't really care about bacterial breeding problems.

I found that as long as I took BAKOBA out from laundry bag and have them dry out, it actually dried pretty quickly in a ventilated place. No need to take a dry cloth to dry the BAKOBA that has been soaked in water one by one.

I like the moment when children focus on studying the manual in order to complete the work. Because reading the instructions can also cultivate children’s understanding and observation.

In order to find out the size of the circle, parents can teach them to use a ruler to measure and tell them how to see the diameter.

Focus on grouping various parts to place in the perfect positions.

The joy and the feeling proud of completing the work can only be experienced by children who have made their own creation.

From following all the instructions at the beginning until self-creation.

After gradually grasping the assembling foundation, they began to create a castle for their doll.

My boy can't help but make a steering wheel with the round shape BAKOBA.

BAKOBA floating blocks are suitable for multiple people to create together.

Whenever I see animal works, I will not resist asking the children to make one for me. Although there is no step-by-step manual, we just look at it, try it out, and guess how to execute it. In this process, children can learn the spirit of planning, cooperation, problem solving, and mutual help!

By following the step at building guide on the official website, he create a penguin! Proud mama.

The stegosaurus made by my son, also following the instruction from the website.

I even took out his favorite picture book to compare.

Ah, this elephant’s nose is too long, need to think how to make it not mopping the floor.

To summarize the Bakoba floating blocks is the execution is quiet and easy to create. You can play together with Lego, rich and changeable! It's similar to Lasy! From simple to complex, step by step, through Bakova's unique parts, the imagination and creativity of Mercedes-Benz are realized in the works!

If you are located in Indonesia, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore, and Malaysia and if you are interested in carrying Bakoba please drop us a message!

Unboxing BAKOBA - Floating block toys

Kids are easy to get bored with their toys, no matter how many you have, eventually they will get bored with it. If you don’t arrange activities or play together with them, they will end up sitting there playing gadgets… Are there any toys that ideal for both inside and outside use? That allows us to bring into the garden, the woods, to the playground and even on the beach.

BAKOBA is designed and developed by two Danish architects. Both architects have experience from working in Danish kindergartens and this is where they gained their interest in developing BAKOBA.

Why BAKOBA?

Soft, quiet and flexible

BAKOBA blocks are made from soft EVA foam, non-toxic and are lightweight, flexible, and durable beyond reason. The foam is soft but sturdy enough for kids to build with it. 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. Especially parents appreciate this feature!

Creativity boost

BAKOBA stimulates creativity and urges kids to explore where their next creation will take them. A feature BAKOBA that makes BAKOBA unique from other building toys is that it can connect with other construction toys from leading toy brands, including those that most kids already own. There are no instructions, so kids can imagine up their creations right away and immediately start playing with the bricks, making everything from planes, cars, and ships; to airports and a castle. It suitable for kids between 3 and 9 years old

Water resistant and washable

Bring BAKOBA to the bath tub and let the kids experience with their construction's ability to float. BAKOBA is easy to keep clean, simply wash it in the washing machine. Wash at 40 degrees Celcius, gentle cycle. Use any detergents. After washing, the blocks dry quickly since they do not absorb the water.

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)

If you are hoping to get more of an educational toy, look for blocks that have different colors, letters, shapes, or numbers on them. I hope MOOMU could have more combination, not only 40 and 120 pieces or even come with different colors.

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.

Build learning kids by let them play with building blocks

Building blocks have been around for more than decades and most of us had played with blocks in our growing years. Building with blocks provides one of the most valuable learning experiences available for young children. Block play stimulates learning in all domains of development, intellectual, physical, and social-emotional and language, most importantly allow a child to free imagination.

Building blocks for kids at different ages

There are several types of baby blocks in the market today. How do I know which kind of blocks play is suitable for my kids? We do believe that not all blocks will work for all age groups. There is a natural progression of blocks play and introducing infants and toddlers to block play is invaluable.

Blocks play for 3 to 12 months old

When babies are first introduced to blocks, they learn how to hold them, how to feel, they attract by blocks’ eye-catchy color, that is great for tiny hands that are just learning to maneuver things. Then start to carry them around. They will experiment with how blocks may sound when they fall, or when they bang them together. Through block play a young child’s expressive and receptive language is being expanded by learning words.
