Expert Review: Battat’s Cloud Castle
Build affordable forts with this foam building block set
- Build everything from a castle to a couch
- Perfect first birthday gift
- Sparks creativity and encourages getting the sillies out
WHAT IT IS
As soon as babies turn into toddlers, they start to need ways to get their wiggles out safely. Cloud Castle provides a soft foam surface that kids can turn into a staircase, a drive-through restaurant, a castle, a couch, or whatever else their little imaginations can conjure up. It consists of five core pieces: a foam base, a foam arch, a foam half-sun, and two foam stairs.
WHY WE LOVE IT
Foam building blocks are a playroom-staple for a reason! Cloud Castle engages kids’ imaginations, but it also gives them a safe way to test out their fine motor skills. Younger tots can have a comfortable space to practice climbing, and bigger kids can travel to where their imagination takes them (and, let’s be real, probably work on their WWE moves). Parents and kids can arrange the five included pieces in a variety of ways, and each piece has a machine-washable cover.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW
The price tag may seem a bit steep at first, but it’s an affordable price when compared to other play couches and foam building sets. Plus, kids get a lot of playtime out of it, and it’s perfect for households with multiple kids.
PERFECT FOR
Active toddlers; creative kids; first birthdays; future wrestlers; budget-conscious families
