I was looking for ANY toy that didn't make sound or light up after being bombarded with new toys. This momma needed a break and these blocks were the ticket. They are soft and well made. Our 9 month old loves stacking them and then diving into them to knock them over. They could probably be washed but we haven't tried that yet.

UPDATED REVIEW
After 6 months of DAILY use (no seriously we play with these multiple times per day in different ways) these are still in perfect shape! He will stack them, push them down his slide, knock them over after we stack them, hide them in cabinets lol ... honestly one of his favorite toys.
We have washed these many times and they hold their form and still have great color.
This is one of my favorite and most loved/played with items I've purchased for our son.

ORIGINAL REVIEW
My 10 month old loves playing with these blocks. They are soft yet each block still holds a nice square shape. My son is starting to walk and when he tumbles and accidentally lands on these they don't hurt him like a tradition block would. The colors are bright and the designs are nice and simple. One block makes noise so he is always trying to find that one :) We spend so much time stacking these up so he can laugh and knock them down! I will eventually purchase again for myself so that we can more to play with and also as to give as gifts.

We've gone through a lot of toy blocks and finding soft toys that are larger is a challenge sometimes. We have a disabled son who throws things and loves to play catch. Lots of this activity is indoors, so we need something that is soft, won't damage people or furniture yet keep his attention. These blocks have come to our rescue. Fun fact, one has jingle bells inside so it's a nice little surprise when it lands.
We did need to clean one in the washer and dryer. They do go through the Delicate Cycle just fine. Both of our machines have a Delicate Cycle so there was only the slightest concern. But it kept its shape and all is well.
We totally recommend these blocks for anyone who wants a soft toy to throw around, catch or stack and knock down.

Love these! Bought them for our 5 month old daughter to encourage her to move/scoot to them. It worked! She is now 10 months old and still likes to knock the blocks over, shake them, etc. They're soft and great quality --- you will definitely want to machine wash them before use however...they smelled like "processing" when they arrived. After washing, they were perfect.

Very soft and stackable. It looks a little cheap so I wouldn't give it as a gift. But as a toy for your own children it's great for younger kids
