Furthermore, all building blocks are manufactured in the EU – for tested quality you can trust.
🧼 How do you clean the building blocks?
Our building blocks are easy to clean – either in the washing machine or by hand. Please be sure not to use fabric softener and use a child-friendly detergent. This will keep them beautiful and safe for a long time.

🎨 Why are RIWI®️ building blocks ideal for my child?
RIWI®️ is more than just a toy. It grows with your child, promoting motor skills, creativity, and independence. The soft, special foam is safer and quieter than wood or plastic, making RIWI an alternative to screen time.
🧱 How does RIWI®️ create simple and stable construction?
RIWI® building blocks are made of a special foam with particularly high friction. This ensures that they stick together when stacked and do not slip.
