Kids2 is launching a STEAM-inspired line of multisensory, magnetic activity blocks for babies.

Baby Einstein Connectables are collectible, connectable 3-inch blocks that offer room to expand as babies age up from 6 months into the toddler years for floor-to-table play options.

“We know that there is a strong desire from parents for early exposure to STEAM learning. But when you stroll down the baby aisle, these types of learning toys are under-represented,” says Kids2 CEO Ryan Gunnigle. “Parents shouldn’t have to wait until their children turn one for age-appropriate developmental toys.”

The first product in the range is the Baby Einstein Connect & Create Magnetic Activity Blocks 24-piece Starter Set. It features sliders, mirrors, rattles, and wheels along with characters from Baby Einstein shows and books. Additional sets include the Click & Create, Bridge & Learn, Dive & Soar, and Add & Stack collections, each sold separately.

Kids2 says that the line is starting to become available in the U.S. right now with a global rollout planned for 2023.
