5.0 out of 5 stars Eco Friendly Brain Expanding Toy April 5, 2010

The Easter Bunny brought my son this fabulous toy, and though I thought at first he might be a little old for it at five, it was a hit. There is enough going on with the interconnective blocks and endless possibilities that I think it works for a wide age range, making this a great value for purchase during that first year. They'd probably do well on conference tables for meetings as even adults are more productive brainstormers when they have something interesting to play with. And of course they would be great in the classroom.

The blocks are well made of renewable rubber wood and and Twig comes with its own cotton bag for storage. Toys always get huge points from me for addressing the storage issue and the bag is functional and cute.

I love the open ended play concept and Twig is perfect for building brain power and creativity and good old fashioned fun with a modern twist.

This toy is awesome. . . for my husband and I, my child has had little interest. At 2.5 yrs he has a hard time putting the long rectangular blocks into the larger square ones. The square isn't perfectly square and so sometimes you have to turn the blocks to make them fit into one another. I also thought it was worth mentioning that these blocks "bleed" a little bit when damp from sweaty hands. This is concerning for us since these blocks are made in China. The company has a clean record so far though, so hopefully they are "truly" non-toxic. I didn't return them, but will be putting them up for when my son is older and more dexterous. They are a lot of fun for us and hopefully will be for my child in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Blocks! April 25, 2010

We initially saw these blocks at a children's play museum. My son was fascinated with them and spent nearly half an hour playing away, not interested in any of the other attractions around! At 2.5 years old he couldn't get enough!
So for his 3rd birthday we purchased these. My 6 year old daughter also likes playing with them. They really spark imagination, creativity, and spacial reasoning skills! Plus, they are durable, eco-friendly, and came in a nice simple box- no crazy packaging to contend with.
My son has a love of blocks- we have lego duplos, wood blocks, rubber blocks, fabric blocks, block puzzles, etc, but these are the ones that he always comes back to!
