    Bristle blocks are different and inexpensive.
    Cardboard blocks? Are they durable? I would be afraid they just wouldn't last very long. Are they solid or hollow?

    Mine are similar to these...

    I have had them for 4 years. The edges are sort of frayed(can't think of a way to describe) but have held their shape just fine! The kids walk on them, climb on them. They are used daily.

    I also have the blocks Bright mentioned. I called them bristle blocks. My kids like those too.

    Thanks for that. I have seen these and always thought they couldn't be worth it because I thought they'd just get smushed on day one. I will think of getting some.
