Anyone know where to find large foam blocks/climbing toys?

[HeatherW]

I am looking for the kind of blocks/climbing toys that look like the same material gymnastic mats are made of, or any other suggestions you may have.. I am trying to create an indoor playground and would like to have playthings that are kid-friendly.

Thanks

I have never purchased from here, but this company seems to have this type of stuff.

Constructive Playthings (particularly in the institutional/school section) has these items. Here's a link to a page with several, but there are others too. http://tinyurl.com/64bks

Here is an even better priced site. I ordered a staircase from them in August. Since it was around school time it took many weeks(8 weeks) longer to receive than it should have. Supposedly it was just because it was the start of school season and the manufacturer was backed up making them.

They have the BEST prices I could find and carry many items. Id order from them again anyway..the prices are just too good.

Shipping was around $5.. so $90 total.

oh....many of the The Children's Factory climbing toys ship within 2 weeks normally

Good Luck...

I've seen them in the Lakeshore Learning catalog but I don't know how their prices compare. If you live near a store you can have it shipped for free and just pick it up.

I bought these blocks for a friend's toddler two years ago. They love them and they're still going strong.
