How about velvet smooth wood blocks that last a lifetime? This is a pic of our living room floor, with an amazing set of blocks Ursula received from our friend who used to teach in nursery programs around the city. More pics and info below on blocks, wool pelts, rug, etc.....
Having taught preschool and kindergarten for many years, I can attest to the durability of the Community Playthings blocks. They also have sturdy wooden shelf units for storage.
