These squishy blocks look and feel exactly how we wanted them too. My daughter loved them. However they have an extremely strong chemical smell and can not be used! They smell like gasoline. She played with them for 5 mins and we had to take them away immediately, I do not believe these are safe for kids with the very strong chemical smell. I even tried to wash them, no luck. I tossed the oackaging never imagining they would have this issue so we can’t even return.
