DO NOT BUY THESE BLOCKS! A warning was issued in 2007 due to high amounts of lead in the blue block. Supposedly, if you already owned the set you could send in your blue block for a replacement. Every state has different laws regarding safety warnings, and unfortunately in NY state the stores do not have to remove items like this from the shelf unless it is officially recalled. I still see them sold in older packaging at drugstores and at Target! How pathetic is that? Your child will most probably be putting these in their mouth!

My daughter is 6 mos old and is well-entertained by these blocks. They offer great stimulation, both tactile and visual. There are a variety of textures, sounds, pictures, and even the green block vibrates when the frog's leg is pulled; also promotes stacking and sorting abilities. These soft blocks offer a variety of activity development as the baby grows and develops. A great toy for an even better price!

I have a 6 month old daughter and she loves these blocks. I got a degree in Early childhood and taught in an early childhood setting for a while before I had my baby. With my background I feel I am qualified to say these are very good stimulating toys for your baby. It is so important that they are interactive toys. Stacking, rolling, knocking them down are all such great developmental activities that build great skills. I love the colors and that each one has unique properties like vibrating, crinkling, and bells. My daughter has no problem grabbing them, sticking them in her mouth and throwing them. Even if she does throw them they don't hurt anyone because they are soft. Great toy.

My almost-seven-month old loves his blocks. He can chew on them, squish them, knock them over and roll them around, stare at the pictures... they're great. He sits on the floor and keeps himself entertained for quite awhile. And they're easy to clean.

My daughter loves them! She is now almost 11 months and has played with them since she was born...and isn't tired of them yet!

My daughter loves these blocks. For every baby shower, i make sure to buy their children these blocks. Shes 14 months and still plays with them.

My little one loves these! The bright colors, multiple textures, and varying sounds are great for stimulating young minds. My one complaint is that the trigger to make the frog vibrate on the green block sticks (it dislodges for me if I bang it on the floor several times).

I bought these at a yard sale and my son loves them. He especially likes the yellow one with the sun/mirror and the different textures. I like them because they stimulate learning and can be used as he gets older for stacking.

My very rambunctious daughter had these when she was a baby 5 years ago. She never liked them but she always wanted vigorous play. I have to buy them again as I only have 1 left and my 5 month old son loves it. Easy to pick up, soft to chew, and I don't have to worry about him hurting himself. Personality-wise he is more laid back. I think these are great if your child is okay with something that doesn't have flashing lights and music.

At first I thought these would be a dud, but as my son has gotten older, he has started enjoying them more. He is now 5 months and plays with them by kicking them and picking them up, holding and turning them. The large shape is, I think, helping him learn how to grasp better. He also likes the sounds they make and the different textures. They are very light, though, so it is easy for him to kick or knock them out of his reach (he is not to mobile yet).
