My 20 month old likes them but gets frustrated when her towers topple over. Another few months she'll like them a lot more.

The box was much smaller than I expected for so many blocks. this is because the blocks are pretty small. I had to keep the smallest ones away from my toddler for a while. Great to play with and even survived the bathtub!

oOr daughter loved this toy at 6 months old when we gave it to her and still loves it 3 months later. No doubt she'll play with it for a long time. So many opportunities to learn shapes, colors, coordination and creativity. A great buy

...at a classic price...These blocks are painted well(not really sure what to make of the lead paint assertion)...Also, they're quite smooth with no rough surfaces or edges...A definite must for those little creative minds because you really never know what the blocks are going to end up becoming...Sometimes, you'll get a building...Next time, you might get a spaceship or a hot dog...They keep my kids busy for longer than other toys which are more specific in nature...I also bought the 60 pc. set, which has large and chunk pieces, to compliment this set...All in all, a quality toy at a reasonable price that won't end up in the garbage.

Bought these blocks as a gift for our 2 year old boy. He loves the blocks but he's not at the developmental stage yet to work with smaller blocks and balancing them. He is very interested in them, however. And the different colors are attractive. As well, it inspires conversations about colors while building structures. I have no regrets about buying these blocks and I think they're a great toy to have. I would recommend, however, the Pottery Barn blocks if you think your boy/girl might have trouble stacking and balance. I went to many toy stores before settling on both types of blocks (the PB blocks and the M&D blocks) and think these are the best of their type. Of course there are larger sets of blocks but if you're not looking for a massive collection of blocks, this is a good start.
