Best Toys

Regular blocks are known to keep infants busy for long period of time. They love to stack them, knock them over, put them in their mouth, etc. So what makes Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Blocks so special? Simply put — this isn’t your average set of stacking toys. They are action-packed items, meaning that each one comes with its very own set of activities and moving parts. That makes each block unique and full of potential. There are plenty of things to spin, pull, grab, shake and touch.

Brilliant Basics Features

Each Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Block comes in a set of three, and is designed with brilliant colors, simple activities, alphabetic letters and funny-looking characters. The individual stackers can be used alone or placed together to form a tower. Once stacked, they bond together to make sounds and movements. They are easy and light enough for any infant to carry, hold and stack. They are also durable enough so they won’t break easily (if at all). As with other toys on the Brilliant Basics line, these items were made to help infants develop and discover cognitive motor skills. This isn’t a good toy for infants who are over the age of one because they older more curious and interested in other kinds of discoveries.

What Infants Learn

The most important and beneficial feature of the Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Blocks is how much infants will learn and grow simply by playing with them. The toys incorporate fundamental play that allows infants to strengthen hand-eye coordination and problem-solving skills. They are also visually stimulating, which is key for keeping infants engaged. Infants will learn how to stack the blocks and differentiate between them. All in all, they are relatively simple toys. They sell for about $9.99 per set, which averages out to about $3.50 a block. Parents can decide if it’s worth it to purchase regular choices without all the bells and whistles for a cheaper price or if these blocks are worth a few extra dollars. We definitely think they are worth it. Basic building materials can be quite boring. And even though it doesn’t take much to entertain an infant, they will eventually lose interest. These building materials not only entertain, they can be used as learning tools as well. The additional features and learning potential make them standout from the rest of the building-block pack.
