We’ll be honest, we weren't expecting much when the Jyusmile Montessori Stacking / Building set arrived. But by the end of its first afternoon in our house, it had quietly become one of our daughter’s favorites. She sat beside me on the floor, arraying the soft blocks, stacking them, knocking them over, and then putting them back, all while giggling at her “tower game.”

What makes this set special

From what we could tell and from several listings / reviews:

• It’s made of food-grade silicone / soft materials, so the pieces are gentle on gums and safe for baby to mouth.

• The set includes multiple stackable blocks / rings / shapes that encourage sensory exploration, tactile variation, and building skills.

• It’s easy to clean (which is essential in toy life).

So it’s not just a “cute stacking toy,” but one that bridges teething, fine motor play, and open exploration.

What we observed in real life

In practice, with our baby:

• She loved exploring the different textures and shapes of the pieces. Some blocks were easier to grip, some were chunkier, and that variation kept her interest.

• Our little one is a bit too young to build a "tower," but she enjoyed the avried shapes and textures. When we built a tower for her, she knocked it over, and then explored the "wreckage."

• She mouthed the edges and corners (as babies do) and we appreciated the safe silicone texture.

• After repeated uses, she seemed to favor particular blocks - the smooth ones, the chunkier ones - but the set’s variety kept her returning to others.

• On Reddit and Montessori forums, others echo this experience: one parent said,

  “We’ve had this one a few months…he loves all the different textures, they’re easy for him to hold, easy to rinse off…keeps him occupied forever.”

Pros, caveats & tips

Pros:

• Safe, soft, mouthable materials

• Encourages stacking, spatial thinking, trial & error play

• Easy to clean

• Strong sensory variety - textures, shapes, colors

Caveats / things to watch:

• As with all soft toys, seams or edges should be inspected over time

• Over time, babies may favor fewer pieces - rotate or mix with other toys to maintain novelty

Tips:

• Start the stacking on a hard, flat surface for more stability

• Sit alongside your baby: “Let’s stack one, two, three…see how high we can go!”

• Use knock-down intentionally: encourage her to knock it over and rebuild

• Rotate with firmer or wooden stacking toys so she learns the contrast

• Sanitizing weekly is a good habit (since teething babies will chew on edges)

In short: the Jyusmile Montessori Stacking / Building toy is more than just “cute silicone blocks” - it’s a versatile, baby-friendly set that supports sensory exploration, fine motor development, and that satisfying “build & knock” cycle babies love.
