As an inhome daycare provider I am always on the watch for toys that will help the kids learn and keep them busy. Citiblocs are great. They are durable and openended play time that attract the kids again and again. I would hightly recomend them. They are also much more affordable than the other blocks out there that look the same but cost more money. I saved some more money by buying my citiblocs at Amazon. Thanks Amazon.

This review is from: CITIBLOCS Original Wooden Building Block Set - 100 Piece (Toy)
I knew about Kapla blocks from the children's museum and wanted some for home, got seduced by the price of the citiblocs along with all the great reviews. I had high hopes for the blocks, but I have to say that I am very disappointed with the quality. First the accuracy is off, the length of the blocks does not match an integer number of widths which makes many of the designs unstable. In addition to this universal problem with the citiblocs, many of the blocks are warped, or twisted, or non-uniform thickness. To make large complex structures stable, you really need to sort the blocks which is not really a workable solution unless you toss the faulty blocks which kind of negates the price advantage. Made from a light pine, hard to imagine how these could not warp especially with humidity changes. I guess the Kapla "Marine pine" is more stable. I have not tried the Keva Maple blocks, but I would certainly expect the maple to be more stable than then light pine.

This review is from: CITIBLOCS Original Wooden Building Block Set - 100 Piece (Toy)
These little blocks are very basic and kids can really use their imaginations when playing with them. They only problem is if yours are around the ages of my grandchildren (2,3,3,4) then the pictures in the instruction book are very difficult, if not impossible, for a small child to build. Of course that doesn't keep them from wanting to build them which puts you right down on the floor with them. And some were too hard for me.

Otherwise, these are great little building blocks. Just hide the hard pictures!
