Foam blocks are a great way to add fun and creativity to any room. Whether you’re looking for materials to help encourage your child’s imagination, or something to add to a craft project, foam blocks provide endless possibilities. Here is a beginner’s guide to shopping for foam blocks:
Size & Shape: Foam blocks come in many sizes and shapes, from cubes and circles to crazy shapes. Look for foam blocks that match the size of the project you’re working on. For example, if you’re making a castle, look for larger bricks and blocks with different angles.
Density: Foam blocks come in a range of densities, from light and soft to dense and firm. The density you need will depend on the project you’re working on. Choose high density foam if durability is important or lighter, softer foam if you want something easier to move around.
Color: Foam blocks often come in colors and patterns, which can be helpful if you’re using them for a specific project. If not, try to find foam blocks that are either one color or have an interesting pattern. You can also paint them to create interesting designs.
Safety: Make sure that any foam blocks you purchase are safe for your intended use. Read product descriptions carefully and check labels for any warnings. Most foam blocks are generally considered safe for children, though adult supervision is always recommended.
