 is my set faulty? July 29, 2010
L. Sadler
Hi, these look great but the only way I can create the full alphabet is with the yellow and green colors....when I try to with other colors, its all bue 3 or 4 and then I have like 3 E's and A's but no x, etc etc. is this just how they are, or is my set messed up? thanks if anyone can tell me!
Beautiful blocks! June 25, 2010
E. Boulay (Chicago, IL)
These are exactly as billed. They are high-quality, very attractive, wooden blocks. My nine-month-old LOVES them. He doesn't yet know how to stack them, but he sure loves knocking them down when I pile them up. He enjoys taking them out of a box and spreading them around greatly. That they are made from wood (without the concerns about phthalates and BPA) and with non-toxic paints were both reassuring facts as, of course, many of them have been mouthed. Highly recommend these blocks if you're in the market for some.
The Best Wood Blocks April 28, 2010
Tara Peterson (Washington, DC)
These blocks are great! My mother in law had ones just like this from when my husband was a kid, and my daughter loved them so much that I bought us a new set! Very high quality! The wood does not splinter and the paint is very durable. My daughter loves to stack and knock over multiples times. I am using them now to try and teach her numbers and colors! Definitly recommend for any child! This is a timeless toy that I hope to have one day for my grandchildren!
Elegant blocks, made in the USA, perfect size April 24, 2010
A. Briones
Got these when my little one was a year old. Now he's three, and he still loves playing with them. Very elegant. I've seen these in parenting magazines several times.
Light weight. Won't hurt as much as heavy blocks if they topple over your little stacker.
Perfect size. A 6-month old can get a good grip, and it's not too small to be a choking hazard.
No worry about toxic paints. It's made in the USA.
I love these blocks. They're worth every penny. My mommy friends liked them too and ask me where I got them. Some of them even bought a set. Highly recommend them.
Caution for adults though: Don't walk around barefoot with these blocks scattered on the floor. It will surely hurt when you step on one. (I learned this from experience.)
Excellent value for classic toy. Don't let the price scare you. March 25, 2010

In selecting toys for our 8 mo (now almost 10 mo) daughter, we wanted to have fewer toys that grow with her and are visually appealing. Blocks allow for free play, however all the ones we found were small, cheaply made, or had reviews that discussed splinters and paint chips and overall poor quality.
We debated for a while because of the price. We couldn't be happier. She loves them. We love them. They are beautifully made, engraved on multiple sides, painted with non-toxic ink and not sealed (a good thing - the eventual wear and tear is better than sucking on chemical sealants).
She (and we) plays with them every day; we build towers; we make words, we talk about the animals printed on the side; and they make a beautiful sound when clapped together. They are consistent in size and shape (which should not be surprising in blocks, but surprisingly it is) so building complex towers, including ones that can be loudly dismantled by selecting the single point of failure. With babies - architectural value is in the quality of creative destruction not in the stability of the construction.
So far the theory of fewer toys of higher is serving us well. Rather than 4 or 5 toys for the same money we have one set that we love... and there's less to clean up!
