 Great for the future architectMar 28, 2010
My son loves these blocks. Make sure you buy something to keep them in because the box doesn't last long if you can get the blocks back in the box at all.
Small and smellyMar 27, 2010
I ordered these blocks as a gift for my 1-year-old, who is getting really into stacking blocks. They just arrived today, and I noticed two things immediately. First, they are VERY SMALL! I'd read the other reviews commenting on this, but I was still surprised by the size. I'd say most of the pieces are between 1-2" on the longest dimension-- so, a bit smaller than a golf ball, not really great for building large structures.
Second, the blocks I received have a strong, unpleasant chemical odor to them-- like burnt garbage, maybe?-- that still hasn't dissipated after about 8 hours of sitting outside on a windy day. I'm hoping this will go away in time, since it's probably not worth sending them back, but in any case don't count on your kid being able to play with the blocks right out of the box.
EDITED: I called the Melissa and Doug customer service line and they assured me that the odor problem is not normal for this toy. They're sending me a free replacement in the mail. The person I spoke to was very friendly, and I was extremely impressed with the M&D customer service experience.

These blocks are great, my grandkids have a ball building towers and bridges, I was bringing in chunks of 2x4 for them to play with until one of the towers fell on my grandsons toe!...never hurt till he seen the blood!..anyway..they love them, also our Jack Russell loves them too when they forget to pic one up..will probably need to buy some more in a while!
Great toy for kidsFeb 11, 2010
I bought one of each of these for my niece and nephew. They both use them all the time and we love to build towers together. They are just 1 1/2 years old and I know that they will be using these far into the future. I highly recommend this product.
Hours of entertainment & learning!Feb 05, 2010
I bought these blocks for my 3 year old grandson for Christmas 2009. My daughter actually thought that these were "old fashioned," but guess what--over a month later and out of all of the toys he received, what does he play with EVERY SINGLE DAY? Yes, the blocks. When his cousins visit they, too, head for the blocks. These blocks are durable and lead free and are brightly colored and attractive.
Some of the concepts that can be taught with these blocks: colors, color grouping, , numbering, AND let's not forget that stacking these blocks develop coordination and through trail and error a child learns what will and will not work. My grandson has learned that if he wants to build a tall tower he must make sure his foundation is sturdy and that the blocks are stacked evenly. He's used mega legos since he was a one year old and I initially thought that since the new blocks didn't snap together he might get frustrated. Not so!
Great fun for the whole family! Highly recommended.
