Editorial Review:
Product Description: This set of ten sturdy cardboard blocks will keep your little one engaged for hours. Each colorful, bold block has beautifully illustrated letters and images on every side. Stack them high to build a soaring tower, or link them together on the ground. Nesting block measures 5.8"H x 5.8"W x 5.8"D.

I believe they make a wooden version of these blocks which I would have bought had I known how easily these card board ones start to break down. If your child doesn't try sitting or standing on everything then these blocks are for you. My daughter loves them and says the alphabet as she stacks them. Great just not durable.

If you have a teether, these will not survive the toddler's gnawing on them. Also, these will buckle under the weight of a toddler trying to balance on them or balance heavier toys on the boxes. For a good idea of how sturdy these are, they are comparable to heavy duty cardboard moving boxes. If you think you toddler won't be able to destroy these, this is a wonderful excellent toy. On the other hand, if your toddler is as strong as mine is, look for the wooden blocks instead, such as Hi-5 Sorting tower.

We have enjoyed these nesting/ stacking blocks for over a year now. They are of similar construction to those I had as a child (and still do.)
Addressing some concerns noted by other reviewers:
Granted they are cardboard, but seeing as their #1 purpose is to stack and then knock down, do you really want a tower of wooden blocks falling on your child's toes?
These are meant for use by children ages 2 and up. If you child is a chewer at that age, then you may have other concerns to address. The majority of age 2 children can play with a toy without gnawing all over it. My daughter started playing with these before age 2, but she also rarely chewed on toys after infancy.

My son received these for his first birthday and they're probably the best toy he's ever received. He just turned two and still loves them. I keep them in the car all the time and he plays with them anytime we're at someone else's house, which is great because they're quiet and he's entertained by them for a long time. It's been fun to watch him do progressively more and more with them as he's gotten older. One thing, though--I do think that if he'd received them any younger, he would have put them in his mouth and ruined them. Twelve months was the right time to receive them. I noticed, however, that Melissa & Doug also make wooden nesting blocks, and that might be another way to go; they wouldn't be quite as light, of course, but ... Read More:

We have had these blocks for a year at least, and my son has spent much time stacking them and, his favorite, knocking them down. He is 2.5 now. The pictures are wonderful, and each drawing has at least two items beginning with the letter that it illustrates. For example, there is a cow with a cake that has candles on it, an alligator with an apple, a penguin wearing pearls and carrying a purse, etc. I have even enjoyed trying to find everything in a picture that starts with the letter.
I would definitely purchase these blocks again. They all fit into a box with a handle for carrying around.
The only downside is that they are not especially durable, being made of cardboard. The edges are worn and some of the ... Read More:
