Jakks Knotwud Construction 100 Blocks Color & Natural

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Blocks
from: Jakks

September 01, 2007
These blocks are nice, and I appreciate that they are soft and do not have a risk of damaging furniture or hurting my baby. However, the blocks (especially the small green triangles) are very small. The triangle blocks happen to be about the perfect choking hazard size. We've put those ones up for later. These blocks will also show tooth marks. All around, though, we enjoy them.

Block Set 56 Pcs, Hard Maple Unit Blocks, "Made In The USA" Using Only Child Safe Materials

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Blocks
from: Cambium Lair, Inc


I was thrilled to find these blocks on Amazon. I had played with a similar set as a child, in our church nursery. Those blocks were played with constantly for about 40 years, and the older this type of block gets, the better.
They're beautifully shaped and sanded smooth, with no sharp corners. I can't wait 'til Christmas morning, so I can play with my niece and her new blocks.
They are more expensive than other block sets, but I know my niece and any siblings or cousins (or even children and grandchildren!) she may have someday will get just as much joy from them as she will. And the fact that they're made locally of real maple, cutting down on the amount of fossil fuels used in shipping and are made without any hazardous ... Read More:

26-piece Wooden ABC Picture Blocks in a Wooden Storage Tray

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Blocks
from: Melissa and Doug

September 08, 2006
I love Melissa and Doug products with nearly religious fervor, but these blocks were a little disappointing. The pictures are lovely, the size is good, the weight is easy for kids to manipulate, and they stack and fall down again like all good blocks should. As for flaws, several blocks in my set (5 or so) came only partially finished, one with a deep gouge in one side. The corners are also brutally sharp (these are perfect cubes), not sanded down. I'm a big girl and know where to find my spray-on varnish, sandpaper, and a marker to add lines (as orientation cues) to W and M and p/d/b/q, but still... it would have been nice for these to have been ready to play from the get-go.

PEEK-a-Blocks 2-in-1 Activity Wagon

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Blocks
from: Toys - not a real vendor (test account)

September 08, 2006
I bought this for my 2 year old and she has rarely played with it but there are several 1 year olds in our play group who have a blast with it every week. Either she was too old to enjoy it when we got it or it's not her style but it is enjoyed by all babies who enter our home. IT is durable and the blocks are great since they are all different. The ones that come with the sets are not as thick and heavy as the ones that you buy seperately and the volume control is nice.
