Building Block
QUED® Building Blocks are designed to complement soft‑play learning environments. Toddlers can explore and develop through creative movement sequences on safe, hygienic, progressive foam shapes.
Challenge
Provide soft‑play blocks that encourage balance and coordination while remaining durable and easy to clean.
Solution
Use a ~0.61 kg/m² (18 oz/yd²) reinforced vinyl cover over ~44 ILD polyurethane with inverted, cross‑stitched seams and full‑width 51 mm (2 in) hook‑and‑loop closures.
The Shape
Each block is intended for stacking, crawling over, and arranging into simple obstacle sequences that foster balance, coordination, and body control in age‑appropriate settings.
The Construction
The block uses a polyester‑reinforced vinyl cover (~0.61 kg/m² / 18 oz/yd²) over a ~44 ILD polyurethane foam core. All seams are inverted and cross‑stitched, and closures use full‑width hook‑and‑loop with a concealed YKK zipper.
The Operation
Place the blocks on a clean, level surface. Join or secure arrangements using the 51 mm (2 in) hook‑and‑loop flaps, and reconfigure as activities change. Wipe the cover clean after use.
