My daughter likes this set, but the blocks with the firmer sides that stack more easily are still our favorites. I like that these crinkle and have different visual effects as she's starting to explore the world around her, but when she tries to stack them they tumble over or cave in. One of the sides is also fraying just a bit and we've only had it for a month or so.

My son is 5 months old and he loves these blocks! The different designs catch his eye and he loves the crinkly feeling and noise of the red block. These keep his interest the most out of any toy we have.

I agree with another reviewer..these blocks are really pretty, but my 8 month old could care less about them...maybe these are for a much younger baby, like 3 months?

I recieved these blocks at my baby shower. This was with my first daughter, i thought they were cute but didn't think they were great. I was wrong!! These blocks were a total hit!! She loved them!! I took them everywhere with us, either in the carrier or in my diaper bag! They would keep her entertained and she never liked to have to share them. lol These were a great gift and I have now given them to alot of new moms. They are simple, light, easy to handle and fun to play with!

Really like these blocks and how each one has a different texture to it. Perfectly sized for little hands. My daughter enjoys playing with them.

My 5 month old babies love the red cube in particular. The fight over it everyday...Okay so they don't physically fight over it...but when one has it the other tries to get it too. The red one is a "crinkly" material and I wish they were all like this. The images and colors on the red one also keep their interest the most. It has a lot of black/white/red on it that babies love. The other smaller green block has an apple teether on it that they sometimes chew on and the biggest blue one has a butterfly that is the crinkly material, sticking out from the one side. I think these are reasonably priced. I have washed them and they do wash well. I think they are great quality. I am considering getting another set so they both can play with the red one at the same time! That is probably their most loved/played with toy we have right now.

My daughter really enjoys looking at these little blocks but she is not coordinated enough to pick them up yet. I am sure that once that happens they will be very interesting to her. At the moment all she wants are things that she can stuff into her mouth. :)

Wish I could give these 3.5 stars. These blocks are good sized and stack-able. The smallest block (Green) has a textured teething "apple". The Blue block has a butterfly with crinkle wings that stick out. The Red block is just a basic block. Each block has photos, artwork, and patterns--no repetition on any side or between blocks. Each block is color coordinated and there are themes between the blocks. I imagine some research went into the patterns and themes and it's designed specifically to stimulate babies, because Baby Einstein Toys are known for that kind of thing. The blocks hold their shape well, but when pressure is applied they collapse on themselves so baby can't use them to climb out of a playpen. They pop right back up when pressure is released. The stitching forms a nice ridge along several of the edges to help baby grip the blocks. They seem kind of pricy and my 11 month old mostly plays with the teether, but when he's into stacking, this set will probably get more use.

I'm not entirely sure what age group these blocks are for. Most of the panels have colors that are too busy for a small baby and the teething parts are frustrating for a little one to figure out how to get in the mouth, but they're not exciting enough for an older baby. They seem a little too hit-and-miss; while some panels are attractive to littler ones and other to almost-toddlers, there's not enough of either to hold interest in this toy for very long.

These blocks have had their moments with my daughter throughout her development from 4 months to 14 months -- at the latter pointing to the panels and naming the things on them -- but they are too expensive for the limited overall use I experienced with them and my child especially in comparison to similar toys.

If I could give this 2.5, I would. I round down due to the cost and difficulty in cleaning the rope border on an allegedly "wipe clean" product.

Comes with 4 blocks. Each with a different noise inside- 1 bell, 1 scrunchy paper, 1 soft, 1 rattle. So fun for babies. Received promptly by mail.
