Infantino Press & Stay Sensory Blocks - 24-Piece Stacking Toy for Babies 12+ Months
The Infantino Press & Stay Sensory Blocks are a 24-piece stacking toy for babies and toddlers 12 months and older. Unlike traditional blocks, these interlocking blocks connect in any direction with a simple press, so little hands don't need perfect alignment. The set includes soft, multicolor sensory blocks that support early development through open-ended play.
What makes the Press & Stay design different from traditional blocks?
Standard building blocks require precise stacking to avoid toppling. The Press & Stay mechanism uses an innovative interlocking pattern that lets blocks attach securely even when not perfectly aligned. Babies simply press two blocks together to connect, and they can pull them apart just as easily. This design eliminates the frustration of blocks that won't stay balanced, allowing children to build towers, bridges, or sideways structures. The blocks connect at multiple angles, encouraging creative construction without the need for exact positioning.
Developmental skills supported by these blocks
Each play session naturally builds fine motor skills as babies grasp, press, and pull the blocks. Hand-eye coordination improves when aligning blocks for connection. Cause-and-effect thinking develops as children learn that pressing two blocks together makes them stick, and pulling apart separates them. The bright colors aid color recognition, and the tactile experience—soft texture, varied surfaces—provides sensory stimulation. The blocks are designed to encourage open-ended play, which boosts imagination and cognitive flexibility. Because the connection is easy, toddlers spend less time struggling and more time exploring.

Perfect gift for babies and toddlers
Whether you need a baby shower gift, a first birthday present, or a holiday toy, this set fits the bill. The blocks are sized perfectly for tiny hands, and the soft edges make them safe for mouthing (BPA-free). Because the blocks engage children longer than standard stacking toys, they offer great play value. Parents appreciate that the toy grows with the child—from simple stacking to complex structures. Infantino designs products with practical parenting in mind, and this set reflects that philosophy: easy to use, durable, and developmentally appropriate.
