Why Covering Your Foam Bricks is a Genius Move

Why Covering Your Foam Bricks is a Genius Move

If you’ve ever watched kids play with foam bricks, you know it’s like a miniature construction zone meets wild imagination fest. These soft, colorful blocks get stacked into castles, turned into obstacle courses, and—let’s be honest—occasionally used as makeshift seats or launched right behind the couch you meant to vacuum... last month. Foams natural texture is prone to collecting dust and hair.

So how do you keep your foam bricks looking fresh and fabulous? Simple: give them covers! 🎉

Yep, just like your favorite couch or your phone screen, your foam bricks deserve a little TLC. Here’s why slapping a cover on those bricks is the ultimate life-extending power-up:

🧼 1. Say Goodbye to Grime

Let’s face it—kids are like adorable little dirt magnets. Whether it’s snack residue, juice spills, or the ever-present sticky fingers, playtime can get messy. Foam is absorbent and not super forgiving when it comes to stains. But with a cover? You’ve got a protective shield between the mess and your foam.

Splocks covers are machine washable and easy to wipe clean.

🛡️ 2. Protect Against Wear and Tear

Foam bricks aren’t invincible. Over time, uncovered foam can get dented, scratched, or torn—especially in high-traffic play areas. Covers act like soft armor, keeping your bricks looking (and feeling) brand new.

Think of them as pajamas for your play foam—cozy, stylish, and super protective.

🍼 3.  Less Tempting for Tiny Mouths

If you’ve got babies or toddlers around, you know everything is a snack until proven otherwise. Bare foam can be especially tempting for little ones to chew on—it's soft, squishy, and just the right size for a curious mouth.

Because while your foam bricks are great for playtime, they’re definitely not on the snack menu. 

🧽 4. Cleanup = A Breeze

Foam bricks without covers can be tricky to clean (ever tried scrubbing foam? Not fun). Covers, on the other hand, make cleanup a total breeze. Wipe, wash, done. No stress. No drama.

Bonus: When your bricks look clean and fresh, the whole playroom feels more inviting.

💸 5. Save Money in the Long Run

Covers are like a tiny investment with huge payoff. By protecting your foam, you won’t have to replace it nearly as often. That means more budget left over for cool new toys, craft supplies, or maybe even that oversized bean bag you’ve been eyeing.

Bottom Line?

Foam brick covers = longer life, less mess, and way more fun. They’re practical, playful, and kind of genius if we do say so ourselves. Whether you're running a play center or just trying to keep your living room sane, covers are a total game-changer.

So go ahead—cover up! Your foam (and your future self) will thank you.
