                 Montessori baby toys 
 Already for the very youngest, there is a, &quot;Montessori baby toy &quot; or ,, Montessori toy 1 year &quot;. The company KORXX offers you various toys in age-appropriate sizes, such as Montessori baby toys , which will give the your little explorer joy, both in the bathtub and on the crawling blanket. Cork toys have the great advantage, especially for the very young, that they are incredibly light and easy to grip. If a little KORXX fan&#039;s whale or turtle should fall out of its hand and into its face while playing overhead, he/she will at worst get a fright, but won´t be hurt seriously. And&amp;nbsp; when the children outgrow the Montessori baby toys - the toys grow with them by simply enabling them to build larger and more complex constructions.     
 Best Montessori Toys 
 Every parent wants their children to grow up to be strong, happy, creative, and successful individuals. They make all kinds of plans about how to achieve this. Apart from their own input, it is of course a question of &quot;Which daycare center should my child attend?&quot; or &quot;Is the public school system really the best? &quot;Montessori education&quot; seems to be one of the most valuable ways to go. This educational concept, developed by Maria Montessori in 1907, has one basic idea. &quot;Support me to do it myself. &quot;&amp;nbsp; In depth, Montessori education includes topics such as order, materials, creativity, art, and self-awareness with respect to, and in interaction with, a child&#039;s natural environment.&amp;nbsp; 
 All daycare centers should have noticed the value that natural toys hold for children and their development.&amp;nbsp; 
 For many years, kindergartens had toys that were as garish as possible – multicolored, noisy, and allegedly made of durable plastics. Today, educators and teachers have realized the value of natural, creative toys made of wood or cork. Natural toys can be colorful or naturally-colored. They can be almost silent and are at least as durable as plastic. Above all, they promote creativity. What is called a best Montessori toy is now available for all educational institutions.&amp;nbsp; 
 But what really describes the best Montessori toys ? 
 Life, especially in cities, is noisy, fast and full of intense, mainly man-made, external influences. 
 Children that grow up in such an environment perceive the world as a living space shaped and made exclusively by humans. In a very short time, they lose all connection to what they actually are. Namely nature. The daily contact with unnatural, artificially-produced materials and substances, their smells, their sounds and their haptics, suppresses the children&#039;s awareness of real nature and uproots them in a short time. And when you get right down to it, as natural beings, they feel alien and wrong in an artificial world.&amp;nbsp; 
 Best Montessori toys are toys that are made of natural materials, which designed to optimize joy and to reconnect children to their origins. 
 Montessori outdoor toys 
 What is this?... &quot; Montessori outdoor toy &quot;.&amp;nbsp; You might say: ,,Montessori outdoor toys are not found on the internet, but they are found in the garden or in the forest. They are moss, wood or leaves.&quot;&amp;nbsp; But, this article is about the material that these Montessori outdoor toys are made of, and in my opinion, the most sustainable natural material for toy production. The fact that I am writing about these Montessori outdoor toys and Montessori play materials here on the website of the KORXX company today is no coincidence.&amp;nbsp; 
 The company PLES GmbH is located in Bavaria and has supplied day care centers, hospitals, children&#039;s homes, schools, and children&#039;s rooms with their building blocks and play figures for many years.&amp;nbsp; 
 While wooden toys have experienced an enormous revival in recent years and are offered by countless companies worldwide, the PLES Gmbh is the no.1 company for cork toys worldwide. The quality of the cork toys is guaranteed with a worldwide registered brand for high quality and sustainable cork toys as KORXX. 
 Montessori learning toys 
 Due to the somewhat rougher surface of cork, it is possible to create extraordinary play scenarios from super creative and high towers to classical role-play setups. The surface of cork is slightly rough, and because of this, the blocks slightly stick to one other. Thanks to this, one can build great structures without them tumbling down, falling apart, or immediately collapsing. 
 With Montessori learning toys one can quickly build towers, houses, garages, or enclosures for animals with cork toys in different sizes. Due to the minimalistic, basic shapes,&amp;nbsp; children play with the large and small stones, which are classified in the category Montessori toys 1 year. The building blocks are very robust, and even after rougher use, the blocks provide years of entertainment. 
 For parents who like to participate in their children&#039;s play, Montessori learning toys and Montessori toys 1 year can thus quickly become Montessori toys 30 years.&amp;nbsp; 
 Parents can enthusiastically accompany their children in play according to the motto: &quot;Help me to do it myself.&quot;

                                            Child safety is a priority for parents, because it is paramount in protecting a child’s mental and physical health.

                 Safe baby toys 
 What does child safety actually mean...? “Safe baby toys”&amp;nbsp; describe the ideal condition that ensures that a situation, a circumstance, a person, or even an object does not pose a danger to children. It protects the life and limb of our little ones, and it is definitely the No. 1 topic for parents when it comes to their children. Parents want to be able to say: &quot;Yes, we are doing everything we can to ensure the safety of our child&quot;. Safe baby toys are therefore a critical requirement to protect and maintain the physical and mental health of our children. However, it is not only crucial that we provide our children with a safe environment to play so that they can grow up as safe as possible, but also that we are responsible parents. As parents, we need the foresight to protect our kids. This is called good parenting.&amp;nbsp; 
 No way is too far and no price too high for parents to get the best and safest stroller that the market currently has to offer. It is the same with car seats and crib safety. Everything revolves around the safety of our children from the first day of pregnancy to the rest of parenthood. Mothers breastfeed their babies to strengthen their immune system to the maximum. Then, when the time comes, they provide healthy organic food. The highchair at the dining table is, of course, tilt-proof and wobble-proof. The cutlery is not too sharp and not too pointed, and the dishes are unbreakable. Staircases are secured by the appropriate gates, and the garden door remains closed for a long time. 
 The list of what parents can do for the safety of their offspring could be extended indefinitely.&amp;nbsp; 
 But parents are not alone with this important task. Of course, legislature has also addressed the issue for the safety of baby toys . Subsidized family support groups, government agencies, and counseling centers are regulated in the same way as the protection of minors or the strict specifications for consumer goods such as medicines, cleaning products, and hygiene products. Last but not least, there is an incredibly detailed set of rules to ensure the safety of our children, which describes the possible dangers that can arise from everyday objects or children&#039;s toys.&amp;nbsp; 
 Especially with children&#039;s toys, the kind of material, durability, stability, shape, size and practicality are all regulated and subject to tight legal standards.&amp;nbsp; 
 Last but not least, parents decide on a particular toy based on ratings by well-known test institutes.&amp;nbsp; 
   
 Kids toy safe 
 Children first develop an awareness of danger in adolescence.&amp;nbsp; 
 Excited by the new possibilities that arise from their physical development -which makes huge leaps especially in their first months- they explore the world. They turn over in their bed because they eventually can. They reach for the colorful, moving toys that hang above them because they enjoy touching and exploring objects. But the combination of new possibilities, the urge to explore, and the unclouded trust in their environment can be dangerous. Nevertheless, childhood should be light-hearted, engaging, and creative. 
 Children learn through play. Since their play area only gets bigger as they grow up, they need toys in their immediate environment that are appropriate for their age and abilities.&amp;nbsp; 
 Good parents are therefore responsible, especially in the early years, for giving their children safe toys which promote development and engage them as much as possible. But when is a toy, a safe kid toy?&amp;nbsp; In general, a toy is safe when it is not unsafe. It is a matter of identifying and eliminating possible hazards for children. A safe kid toy for very young children should therefore be made of a material that does not contain any dangerous substances and is of a size that makes it impossible to swallow or inhale.&amp;nbsp; 
 As children grow older, the way they play and the toys they use also change and grow. This is due to their ability to think more complexly coupled with their childlike creativity and their ever-increasing urge to move.&amp;nbsp; 
 Safe toys for children 
 One aspect of safe toys for children is becoming even more important. Namely, stability. A stable safe toy for children not only prevents the risk of injury or accidents, but also ensures carefree, sometimes years of play.&amp;nbsp; 
 Unfortunately, however, toy manufacturers mostly only meet the minimum requirements for safety and stability due to economic interest and enormous market pressure. Safe toys for children, which are also stable toys i.e. long-lasting toys, cannot be found just like that. 
 However, the Bavarian company Korxx has dedicated itself to all the criteria that are crucial for a safe toy for children.&amp;nbsp;

                 Children learn from the first day of their life. Parents and teachers can support this learning. Our task as parents, educators or teachers is to offer children suitable and age-appropriate educational toys that they can explore for themselves and use for their own learning experiences. Educational toys from KORXX are wonderfully suited for this, as they encourage children to play imaginatively thanks to their appealing material and simplicity. Children can use this pedagogically designed/created toy for themselves and their own individual learning experiences, tailored to their age and level of development. 
   
 Educational toys for 3 year olds 
 Children are explorers! Children around the age of 3 discover their environment with increasing interest and a steadily growing range. They use every opportunity to play, touch everything and want to “understand” everything - in the truest sense of the word. The educational toys for 3 year olds from KORXX help children fulfill their need for play, especially for children 3 years of age. Children are drawn to KORXX&#039;s pleasant feel and enchanting simplicity. It is precisely this simplicity that makes these blocks wonderfully suited to stimulate the imagination of children at the age of 3 while building with the blocks or playing with different animal shapes. The KORXX animals are particularly well suited to support and imaginatively accompany the role play that begins at the age of 3-4 years. The educational toys for 3 year olds also offer a very pleasant contrast to widely used toys, which are offered either in overly flashy colors, made of questionable materials or battery-operated. The toys for three-year-olds and older children, who not only grasp toys with their hands but also put them in their mouths, should be harmless and low-risk. In addition, these educational toys for 3 year olds are highly stimulating, blocks of different sizes and shapes captivate young learners. They almost invite you to stack them on top of each other and to build towers or houses with them. The many different animals are not only suitable for learning the names of animals, they also stimulate the children&#039;s imagination and can be easily used even by the youngest children 
   
 Educational toys for kids 
 It is precisely this universal applicability that makes both the various building blocks and the many animals exceptional educational toys for kids. The reason for this is that the KORXX educational toys for kids can be used by children in an educational and formative way as well as used specifically to promote certain skills by parents, educators or teachers. Concentration and endurance as well as coordination and motor skills can be practiced. Especially gross and fine motor skills as well as hand-eye coordination, children aged 3 and over are becoming more and more skillful and confident. In addition, these educational toys for kids have a highly stimulating character, encourage children to play imaginatively, have a high play value and hardly set any limits. Children can use this toy independently and implement their own ideas again and again. Logical thinking and spatial imagination are also important sub-areas that make KORXX toys so educationally valuable. 
 Creative toys for toddler 
 Many different playful activities encourage children&#039;s creativity. When children can create something, it stimulates them to think, act and play creatively. Building with blocks is one of those activities. Children can use different forms to create small buildings, a tower, a city and thus experience a positive self-efficacy experience. The fewer guidelines the children receive, the less their creativity is restricted. At KORXX you will find creative toys for toddlers that leave plenty of room for creativity and imagination. As early as kindergarten age, motor skills are so well developed that buildings can be built. Language development also takes a leap at the ages 3-4 years, so the children will do more role-play. Here the toy animals can be used creatively and supportively by the children. This works very well with creative toys for toddlers from KORXX.

                 The &quot;Mare Plastico&quot; turned real at home, that&#039;s how many bathtubs show up once our children want to have bathing fun. Children&#039;s toys for the bathtub are still made of plastic. On the one hand, we try to avoid plastic and also want to educate our children to be particularly aware of it.

This is exactly where KORXX cork toys come in. With KORXX, children&#039;s bathtub toys no longer have to be made of plastic.

 What water toys for kids to bring in the bathtub? 
 Is there a need for educational water toys for kids? Oh dear... we stick to the fun of playing and the fun of letting off steam creatively. With KORXX, play fun comes along in the water that simply unconsciously encourages our children to play naturally. With natural materials we also avoid that dangerous substances can get into the water, which I absolutely want to keep away from my child. Since cork is a natural product, it must be handled with more care and attention than an infinitely durable plastic product. Our children learn in dealing with a natural product also a whole new mindfulness with and for our nature. So… avoid plastic water toys for kids!.&amp;nbsp; 
 Plastic baby alive bathtub toy - There is no longer a need for. 
 Toys in the water, whether in the sea, outdoor pool or the bathtub - this is simply part of a great bathing fun. If you look at all beaches - worldwide - you immediately freeze with a guilty conscience, as you have probably misbehaved until now. Almost in every vacation and for many birthdays there is a new, &quot;cheap&quot; plastic baby bathtub toy for the water. Unfortunately, these items are so cheap in production that you just almost use them like disposables. You consume and throw them away and they remain on the beach. We at KORXX sleep bad with these pictures in our head and are pleased to be able to offer the ecological alternative to this environmental pollution. 
 Help us to save our planet and avoid plastic even with baby bathtub toys for the water. KORXX cork toys for water plastic free. 
 Toys for water play – Sustainability starts at home in the bathtub 
 Where, if not directly with us, in our garden, while shopping or in our own bathtub - That&#039;s exactly where each of us should start to do our part for a better, plastic-free world. Even if it seems so cheap at first to make a small gift - you should not and may discuss a gift with your aunt or grandpa to avoid another plastic toy for the bathtub. Long-lasting fun for the water is guaranteed with the KORXX cork toys for water play, which pays off not only now but also for the future of our children.

 Why stress reliever toys? Almost everyone knows it, hardly anyone likes it: Stress. You might know the feeling that the days are too short and that we are overwhelmed by the amount of our everyday tasks. You quickly get the impression that you are just chasing after everything. This primarily plagues the adults in our fast-paced society.  But inner restlessness is no longer uncommon in children either. This is increasingly documented by child therapists and psychologists. On the one hand, this feeling is often transferred unconsciously from adults to the children. But children themselves have to deal with increasing expectations, excessive demands and a lack of time. Is it in school or in the increasingly well-organized leisure time. We are looking for ways to balance and stress reliever toys from KORXX can be a suitable solution here.  What are the symptoms by which you can identify that your child could benefit from KORXX stress reliever toys? If you notice increased irritation, poor sleep, loss of appetite, extreme displeasure or restlessness in your child, stress may be the cause. In such cases, you should definitely think about the purchase of stress reliever toys, the KORXX building blocks, in order to bring more calmness and well-being into everyday children&#039;s life. 
 Advantages of stress toys for kids 
 How can stress toys for kids be used and what are the benefits? Through appealing, reassuring and encouraging toys against stress, we give our children the opportunity to test themselves without a strong risk. The idea behind this is to enable children to face challenges with pleasure and to learn to accept possible failure.  KORXX toys against stress must be mentioned here, because with KORXX the child can make participatory experiences and gain psychological resistance (resilience). Resilience can only grow if it is not imposed on the child, but when it is formed through primary experiences. The aim of stress toys for kids is not to accept one&#039;s own weaknesses, but to develop action-competence and self-efficacy on one&#039;s own initiative and for oneself personality. 
 The positive aspects of stress toys for anxiety 
 But we can counteract the stress to which our children are often exposed: How stress toys for anxiety can work? Through the great aesthetics, the soothing appeal to the senses and the conscious perception of pleasant surface structures and colors in play. KORXX provides children with valuable sensory stimuli. The always appealing results of building with KORXX building blocks create many experiences of success. Using stress toys for anxiety with these particularly encouraging characteristics bring satisfaction and promote spiritual and mental regeneration. 
 How can a toy relieve stress in children? 
 Due to the high demand in eye-hand coordination while building with the KORXX it supports to relax and relieve the stress in children. The neuronal networks in the brain are also strongly promoted and the visuomotor skills are trained. KORXX has already helped many to relieve the stress in children in the pandemic and at home to discover new ways to play and continue to learn./p&amp;gt;

                 Not just with the campaign from “fridays for future” sould be aware now, that we can not continue to accept any further pollution of our planet. There is a clear need to intensively care about any aspect of consume. This includes also the aim to find eco friendly gifts for kids. Organizations such as Bye Bye Plastic Bag are working to educate people to plastic pollution around the world and this not just in our oceans. Two young women have set up a global organization from an island in the Pacific to help to avoid plastic. Sustainable behavior in everything we do and how we live should be our the daily guide. We have to pay attention to this, especially in contact with our children. Real eco friendly toys for kids are a part of the solution to improve the environmental situation. This does not only appear to be decisive at the time of giving, but also has an effect on the children. They learn from our behavior and they will then take even better care of the environment. In addition, we protect our children from harmful substances at the same time if we avoid plastics and consciously choose sustainable gifts for children. 
   
 Eco Friendly Toys For Toddlers 
 To find eco friendly gifts for young kids seem to be a special challenge. These gifts in particular need to be extra safe. They also have to be easy to clean. We question whether these toys for toddlers actually stole in the brightest colors or even have to blink and screech and sound. The child should be encouraged to play with a pleasant feel and gentle color scheme. Most providers of gifts for small children traditionally rely on plastic, which is the main problem for our environment. KORXX is taking a completely new approach here. With the material KORXX cork we are able to offer an eco friendly kids toy. This is safer than wooden toys, which for example, can have a not inconsiderable force if they are thrown, and they are completely sustainable and can very well replace plastic in this area. In addition to all this, KORXX cork is especially antistatic and very easy to clean, as dirt does not adhere to it easily. KORXX cork can even be cleaned with boiling water. This and the exceptional playing characteristics make KORXX the ideal eco gift for small kids. KORXX cork is always nice and warm, soft and tactile. With it, even a toddler can learn to &quot;grasp&quot; and train its motor skills. Large to very large buildings can quickly be built and provide a positive feedback to the toddler and strengthen its self-confidence. 
 Nature Toys For Kids 
 If you recall any situation from last Christmas or birthday, you can imagine again how much plastic was packed and given away to presents. Whether for children or the elderly, KORXX cork offers you the alternative for a nature toy and birthday present idea. These are e.g. the nature gifts for toddlers, such as baby stacking towers or large haptic building blocks. From kids, who create interesting buildings with great skill and learn how to construct, to adults who simply want to place beautiful and aesthetic elements in their home or on the office desk. KORXX cork is the eco friendly gift idea. Sustainability at KORXX is not limited to the material KORXX cork but also explicitly to the play and learning properties of KORXX toys. They are designed and created with a high aesthetic standard. It is the aim of KORXX to offer a toy that stimulates free play that could last for many years. This is also stimulated by the minimalist design and the aesthetics and the pleasant haptic material. Get to know now the sustainable gift idea from KORXX cork toys and find the eco friendly birthday present.

                 Children&#039;s toys come in a wide variety of shapes and functions. When buying toys, it should be ensured that the toy selected is age-appropriate. The age recommendations of the respective manufacturers serve as important and reliable sources for the decision-making. There are building blocks for every child - from the first grabbing and touching to building complex and stable constructions. By assembling and sorting out colourful building blocks, one’s dexterity and strategic skill are particularly trained. All these colourful building blocks also invite you along to play with creativity and limitless imagination. 
 Baby building blocks 
 Since birth, babies train their motor skills with help of building blocks and using them in a targeted manner. Large and handy blocks in different shapes and colours are perfect for your baby&#039;s first gripping exercises and throwing exercises. They also stimulate the sense of touch and, due to their size, pose no risk of swallowing. The Korxx building blocks are made of cork, which is light in weight and scientifically proven to be free of any harmful substances. The blocks can therefore be used by babies without hesitation. 
 Baby toys in the form of building blocks provide a lot of joy as well as fun and are the perfect companions for family trips to the playground, in the sandpit or even on vacation. 
 Building blocks for 1-year olds 
 Building blocks for toddlers from the age of 1 consist of several simple blocks that are easy to grab and stack. Children love large buildings that are easy and uncomplicated to construct, in order to tear them down again with great joy. Playing is very important for the child&#039;s development. Skills such as abstract thinking, creativity, mathematical intelligence and dexterity are improved and developed with appropriate toys. Placing building blocks correctly in the matching openings of a game box helps children with the understanding and perception of geometric shapes. 
 Building blocks for 1-year olds are one of the most popular and most creative toys alongside dolls, stuffed animals and other toys. They not only provide fun and joy when playing, but also educational aspects. 
 Building toys for 6-year olds 
 With different sets of building blocks for children from the age of 6, more complex constructions such as castles, houses, walls, pyramids or towers can be built. When dealing with building blocks, the children learn to hold the individual components steady with their fingers and to assemble them in a targeted manner. 
 Building kits promote children&#039;s abstract thinking by putting building blocks together according to a given system. They learn to think in the previously mentioned connections, to create links between individual components and functions as well as having a sense of achievement or the finished building in the end. 
 Playing with building blocks is not about strictly following guidelines and instructions. There are no limits to the creativity and imagination. Children come up with new ways of playing and game worlds. You can build fascinating structures and entire landscapes with the simplest geometric shapes. 
 Many children learn mathematical and scientific connections rather slowly. In this case, building blocks for children from the age of 6 can support this learning process. When building a tower from building blocks, the question of how the tower can be built even higher arises. This is achieved with the construction method of stacking large blocks at the bottom and smaller ones at the top. Thus, children learn the basics of statics and physics in a playful way. 
 Korxx building blocks for babies and children of all ages 
 Building blocks for all ages are used in all areas of life such as kindergartens, day nurseries, children&#039;s centres, birthdays and family celebrations with children. Building blocks for young and old invite you to explore and play. They are more than just a simple toy or a way of passing time. Age-appropriate children&#039;s building blocks contribute to the essential development of important skills. Therefore, they should be part of every child&#039;s room.

                <![CDATA[
                 We give you tips for designing a plastic free children&#039;s room with little effort. Especially in the children&#039;s room, a mountain of plastic and various non-educational toys, which are usually not played with at all, are piled up. Because most of the times the majority of children&#039;s toys are made of plastic. However, it makes sense to focus on minimalism and sustainability, especially when it comes to toys. Over the years - for babies or toddlers even weeks and months - we go through phases in which our taste and needs change constantly. For toys, this means that they usually have a short lifespan in the children&#039;s room. This is exactly why you should be more careful to buy bpa and phthalate free toys. In the following you will find a list with further points and plastic free alternatives to simply live without any plastic – particularly in the children&#039;s room. 
 Decorating a sustainably and plastic free children&#039;s room 
 When it comes to the spatial design of the children&#039;s room, the use of plastic can already be avoided or at least an attempt. Here are some examples for plastic free alternatives: 
 • Wall paints without microplastics 
 • Textiles made from natural materials 
 • Bpa and phthalate free toys&amp;nbsp; 
 • Natural wood furniture 
 Solvent-free wall paints not only contain no microplastic particles, they are also safe for the health of your children. A baby crib which grows with the child or a multifunctional chest of drawers that can be converted into a changing table are space-saving and practical. When buying play rugs, you should purchase a product that is free of any harmful substances and is made from only natural materials. So, you invest in a quality product and protect the environment at the same time by furnishing a sustainable and plastic-free children&#039;s room. 
 Plastic free alternatives to children’s toys 
 Animal figures are one of the most popular children&#039;s toys. They are available in a wide variety of sizes, colours and materials. Especially with babies or toddlers, you should pay great attention to the material. Make sure that e.g. animal figures are non-plastic toys, as they are often liked to be put in the mouth. 
 Classic children’s toys such as marble run, puzzles, building blocks or dolls&#039; houses are available in great sustainable versions. There are numerous children&#039;s toys made from natural materials such as a marble run made of wood or building blocks out of cork. 
 High quality and natural, non-plastic toys are not only harmless, they are also sustainable and long-lasting. With these and other plastic free alternatives, you are one step closer to a plastic free children&#039;s room. 
 The dangers of phthalates in toys 
 Toys such as balls, dolls or game pieces are often made of PVC, which is originally hard and brittle. By adding plasticizers such as phthalates, this plastic becomes elastic and soft. These plasticizers are not tied up and released again and again over time. Some phthalates have a harmful effect on individual organs such as the liver and kidneys or on the hormonal system. In addition, they can lead to allergic reactions. 
 There are legal limits for some harmful substances such as phthalates in toys. However, there are always toys available in the stores that exceed the legally defined limits. Therefore, do not take the risk at the expense of the health of your child or baby and rely on natural toys without plasticizers. 
 to recognize the dangers of plastic toys! 
 • Be aware of cheap no-name products made of soft plastic 
 • Avoid PVC, pay attention to material or ask the provider 
 • Pay attention to the note &quot;phthalate-free&quot; 
 • Avoid old or used plastic toys 
 Materials such as plastic, lead, paint and plasticizers do not belong in a healthy children&#039;s room. Please substitute to plastic free alternatives! 
 Plastic free living with the help of nature

 Last year I bought a set of Korxx blocks for the girls on a whim and because I loved them so much, I bought them as gifts for friends and family. So I was pretty excited to collaborate with Korxx for this post and the chance to explore more of their eco building block options. If you are located in the USA, Korxx blocks can be purchased through Kodo Kids. Want to see why we are so in love with our Korxx blocks, keep reading (spoiler alert: science can be easily built into this block play). 
 A little background 
 Korxx blocks are 100% sustainable, contain no poisons, and free of any pollutants. They have been tested and proven safe for children under the age of 3 in the USA, EU, and Japan. Let&#039;s just say, Korxx natural cork blocks are some of our favorite blocks, and let me tell you why... they float!! 
 &amp;nbsp; 
 with Korxx 
 Because they float, you get all the benefits of traditional wood blocks AND some extra science benefits. They make the perfect little blocks for a water sensory table, exploring sinking and floating (science), and even working on balancing (engineering). They are also great for creating two dimensional and three dimensional creations (art &amp;amp; engineering), but when those tall towers inevitably fall, you won’t hardly hear a thing. And let’s not forget about all the math concepts blocks help build: shape recognition, part and whole, big and small, and patterns. Talk about some serious critical thinking stimulation. 
 Water sensory 
 Concepts: basic science concept, critical thinking, sensory stimulation 
 Like I said, these blocks float, so just toss them in water and get exploring. Add in other items and determine what sinks and what floats. Then use the Korxx blocks as boats and see how much weight it takes to &quot;sink the boat&quot;. Just make sure the blocks are completely dry before tossing them back in the blocks box. 
 Structure building 
 Concepts: basic engineering concepts, critical thinking, eye hand coordination 
 Like your traditional wood blocks, Korxx can be used to build structures. However, unlike traditional wood blocks, there is more friction which makes balancing round shapes on top of other round shapes a whole lot more exciting. And because they are soft and lightweight, I&#039;m not worried about my wood floor being damaged when they fall. 
 Mathematics 
 Concepts: basic math concepts, one to one counting, critical thinking 
 There are so many opportunities to use the Korxx blocks for building math concepts. Let&#039;s start with something as simple as shape recognition and sorting by attributes. We used our shapes flashcards to name and sort the blocks by shape. We played with AB and ABB patterns using colored and natural Korxx. We practiced creating a rectangle with different size blocks. The girls are too young to begin actually discussing fractions, but we were able to start using terms like part and whole. Blocks and math just go together and the possibilities are endless. 
 One last set of blocks I want to cover... spheres! Okay so, this set I was most excited about, because, well floating orbs just sounds amazing, but also the potential of these Korxx spheres is huge! Let me just list off a few ideas: sorting small to big and using terminology like biggest and smallest, exploring circumference, balancing spheres (an obvious favorite), and creating ramps and exploring basic physics concepts.

                  How the cork oak can contribute to improved climate conditions  
  Environmental protection is not only a challenge faced by politics and the economy. Innovative strategies to enhance sustainability are vital, yet they are also of individual concern. This does not necessarily mean big adjustments. In fact, little measures like the conscious decision on what we buy and what not can have a meaningful impact.  
 
 Where does the cork that in its processed form can be found in so many children’s rooms, the one that makes KORXX’s toy blocs, actually come from? The answer is simple: from the cork oak, with its many advantages.  Instead of having to be cut down, this tree is harvested to get the cork. Firstly, the tree bark has to be removed. Afterwards, the tree does not die but becomes even more valuable with regards to our environment. The cork oak generally contributes to a stable climate by binding enormous amounts of CO2. When being barked in a regular manner, cork oaks can bind three times as much CO2 as compared to the non-barked trees.  The importance of the tree is underlined by the fact that cork oak forests worldwide bind more than 14 Million tons of CO2 per year, making almost ten percent of the CO2-emissions German transit produces. 
  Your contribution for a better climate  
 For us, the defining part of the cork oak is its bark. In order to remove it for the first time, a tree has to grow about 20 to 30 years. In addition, the whole barking process must be undertaken by hand with specific tools. Following the harvest, the tree bark regenerates itself. After nine years, the tree can be barked again to gain cork.  Hence, KORXX’s mission is not only to enable your child to play freely and without any sanitary risks. We take over responsibility for the environment at the same time. The next time you hold a KORXX-toy bloc in your hand, be aware of how nice and easy it can be to make a little contribution towards a better climate and a cleaner environment.

A continuous and individual learning process evolves, from crawling over sitting until their first independent steps. 
 Playing is a child’s way to learn. They develop and unfold skills by trying different things and finding out how these function. Foremost, however, children want to play freely and autonomously.When children play, it is their way to be curious, to discover, and to understand. They have a natural urge to develop further, to explore and conceive the world around them. A continuous and individual learning process evolves, from crawling over sitting until their first independent steps. 
 
  Using toys to encourage your child’s development  
 With our natural toy blocks made of cork, children can become creative and assume the liberty to let their imagination run free. The variety of the toy blocks with their different forms and sizes offers support to a child’s growing process. They learn in a playful way how to handle their individual motions and movements, thereby discovering new possibilities and abilities. Frequent playing helps improve their self-esteem and boosts confidence about their own actions. The key to all of this is the fun behind it. 
 By means of their clear and handy shape, the  Cuboid Starter  are particularly suitable for children as of 1 year of age. The toy blocks are easy to grab which facilitates building something with them. This functional aspect goes hand in hand with pedagogic motives since various skills children need to advance are subconsciously trained. The act of constructing small buildings with toy blocs supports their sense of touch. Once a building is successfully completed, this accomplishment motivates children to build more and meet new challenges. 
 Likewise, the  Cork Ship  portrays an ideal toy to explore personal abilities even for the very little ones. The Cork Ship consists of a hull and two funnels which can be put together. Yet, the best aspect is its ability to actually swim. Whether in the bathtub or the swimming pool, your child will not miss out the fun experience of playing “on the high seas”. 
 For those children aspiring to build finer constructions, the elements and blocks of the  Form  series serve as the perfect tool. Their manifold forms and sizes allow for more complexity and creativity. There are no barriers to your child’s imagination with our colourful variety of toy blocks, comprising quadrats, rectangles, circles, triangles, and pillars. Thus, skills like creativity, ingenuity, and a feeling for three-dimensionality are encouraged in a ludic manner. 
 A special challenge are the globose toy blocks included in the  Bal-lu  series. In order to keep them together and build a tower or similar constructions, indentations within the ball-like forms require the child to put these pointedly together. In addition to aforementioned skills, logical thinking and a sense of balance are trained.
