Melissa and Doug Deluxe Jumbo Carboard Blocks

Gave these to my two grandbabies for Christmas. One is 4, the other 3. I can't beleive how much they loved them. They have built everything from castles to corrals. The blocks are lightweight and easy for little hands to handle and sturdy enough not only to sit on but to stand on as well. I anticipate years and years of fun. I love the fact that the blocks are cardboard and not plastic.

Got these for my grandsons' visit. The boys (3 years old)love them. They stand up to their use and ever better don't hurt anyone when they are tossed about. We store them in plastic storage boxes. Great fun!

First, these blocks are durable. I bought these for my oldest daughter. They ended up going through three children. There are still a few block around the house. I use them as spacers, to keep the couch from banging against the wall.

Second, these blocks are fun. My kids built forts, and walls, and roads, and more. As simple as they are, they were used a lot. One of the favorite games was for Dad to build a tower that reached all the way to the ceiling. Then it was time for the "earthquake" (complete with Daddy sound effects and child giggles) that had the tower tumbling down to the floor.

Third, these blocks are trouble free. If the kids want to stand on them, don't worry -- they won't be damaged. If the kids build tall structures, don't worry -- they won't hurt anybody. If the kids want to chew them, don't worry, they're safe for that also.

I thought the blocks were a nice toy, but my eyes were opened this Christmas. The daughter I bought these for left home, got married, and had a baby. (That's a nice order of things, but I won't claim the blocks helped with that part of here development!) This was the baby's first Christmas. It turns out we had a minor fight over who would get to give the new baby these blocks as a Christmas present! (My youngest daughter won.) You simply can't get a better review than that.

We bought these blocks for our 1-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son for Christmas. My husband and I assembled them (which was a fun little project for us to do together) and our 3-year-old son couldn't wait for us to be done. He liked building a house with these. And our little 1-year-old daughter likes to knock them down. They're very durable too! I was happily surprised at how well they are constructed. I would definitely recommend these blocks as a worthwhile toy for kids that promotes imaginative play. The only downside is... where do you store them? When they're not being used, we're going to keep them in a big sturdy trash bag.

We bought this for our daughters second birthday! She is really into building and stacking things. I had bought the cardboard blocks because I was expecting our second child and didn't want him to get hit in the head with a hard or heavy block. They are so sturdy my daughter can stand on them. Great structure!
