Found some Baby Einstein Blocks!

[Abigail]

I'm excited. I went to a neighborhood rummage sale today and at the first and third house I went to found a set of the baby einstein 4-pack of blocks. Each house priced theirs at $2 each, so for $4 I have 8 blocks that would have been $22 at Walmart. They must have been manufactured in different years because one set is slightly different in design/texture than the other, but by a glance they look the exact same.

I also made sure these were not recalled and they're not, so I definately got a great deal today! I wish I could put them in the washer, but it says to wash with water and mild soap and let air dry........has anyone put them in the washer/dryer?

Yellow block is squishy with just foam inside.
Blue block has a high-pitched rattle inside.
Red block has a low-pitches rattle inside.
Green block has a vibration once the frog leg is pulled.

I would assume all but the green would be safe for the washer/dryer. What do you think?

I'd put them in the washer on a gentle cycle... tumble dry low.

The funny thing is one set I bought from someone I regularly babysit for so it brought back memories with their son from a few months ago when I played with them at their home. The blocks look "like new" and one has a little drool stain, so I'll need to clean them somehow. Should I wash them with clothes or just separate if I do wash them?

I'd probably do separate, or with other items you would wash on gentle.

I have these blocks and I put them in the washer. All of them and they are completely fine. Still make sounds and didn't mess up fabric. Totally fine to put in the washer and dryer.

YEP! I love those (ok well the babies do lol) and absolutely they are safe for the washer and dryer....the yellow duck one doesn't quack for a while after it comes out but will eventually. I wish I could find more.
