These blocks have been awesome for our kids. This is absolutely the one toy they have played with on a daily basis for almost 2 years. The blocks are not a choking hazard which means even my baby can play, and I don't have to worry about paint safety. Its so fun to see what they create every day.

I got these for my grandsons for Christmas and they love them. They play with them every day and have loads of fun building different buildings, except when they are fighting over the design or who gets which pieces! Good education and creative fun. Very good quality; I expect them to last as a toy for their kids someday. Highly recommend.

We bought these blocks for our two year old daughter. We liked the different shapes and thought it would be a great addition to her Melissa and Doug 60 piece block set she already had and loved so much. http://www.amazon.com/Melissa-Doug-60-Piece-Standard-Blocks/dp/B00008W72D/ref=pd_sim_t_1 We were a bit disappointed when we got the blocks though; they are little in comparison to the Melissa and Doug blocks (see attached photos). We also had the same problem with our case as the other reviews; the red hinges that keep the lid on pop off very easily and we have already lost one. Overall the blocks seem to be good construction, solid wood, smooth surfaces; we found one block that was a bit rough but not enough to cause splinters or anything. On a whole, we aren't unsatisfied with the blocks; we just felt that the price was a bit high for what you get, especially since the Melissa and Doug set was on $30.00. Our daughter doesn't seem to mind the size difference though; blocks are blocks and she enjoys playing with both sets and that's what really matters. I just wanted to leave a review so that others wouldn't be surprised by the size of the blocks when they received their set.
