Melissa and Doug 100 Piece Wood Blocks Set

This toy was purchased for a very active 18 month old, and he loves it. He loves the colors and shapes. This is one toy that he will sit quietly and play with. I was nervous he was too young, but not so. I think this is also a toy he will continue to use through many ages. Glad I picked this!

Melissa and Doug 100 Piece Wood Blocks Set
Bought these for my grandson, even with all the other things electronics and such he still enjoys the fascination of just building "stuff". It gives them time to use their minds.

Bright, colorful, just right for little hands. He's been having a great time building new things and pretending. Just a good, simple, basic toy.

This blocks are so colorfull and durable and the shapes help to be more creative...excellent learning blocks

My 4 year old grandson, and his parents, were thrilled when he receieved these blocks yesterday. We'd been unable to find colored wooden blocks in any local stores. I was happy to see that the yellow blocks were just as vibrant as the red and blue. In the picture I saw they looked rather pale.

What I wish I'd known prior to purchase is the dimensions of the blocks. They are smaller and thinner than I had anticipated. That being said, their size has not diminished my grandson's enjoyment one iota. He likes to build roads with the blocks and can't wait to build the castle pictured on the box the blocks came in. (As soon as we can find a time when his little sister isn't around to knock it down, that is.)

I do like the variety of shapes as it helps him to learn more about triangles, squares, rectangles, etc. The small size of the blocks is the only thing that detracted from the purchase. Otherwise they earned an A+ from this grandma!
