My 10 month old grandson was actually difficult to buy toys for this past Christmas. He's too old for teethers and fabric blocks that don't do anything, but too young for hammering or stacking blocks. This set was perfect for him. He can hold them on his own and flip the little doors or push the top buttons. He will play with these for 20-30 mins at a time - which is a lot for a 10 month old! I've even seen him try to stack them up himself. I'm very pleased with this product and would recommend it for those "inbetween" (not infant, not toddler) babies!

I was surprised to see all the different kinds of activities on these little blocks. They are smaller than I expected, but each side has something interesting to touch, move, push. They don't stack very well, but when they are stacked, they interact. If you stack them and push the head on the top block, all three blocks have spinning sides that respond. But my baby just doesn't seem interested in them when he's alone with them. He likes when we play together with them, but it never goes to it on his own.

My little guy loves to have these blocks stacked only to knock them down. He loves the "action" of these blocks. The blocks are easy to handle for his little hands. He holds them and chews on them and loves to scatter them around the room. It is nice gift for a baby and they are not loud or annoying.

For those little hands, these are terrific for handling. The great assortment of colors, patterns, "moving parts" on the sides really stimulate a child's interest. My son is teething and wants everything in the mouth of course. The sides of this offer a nice variety of textures too. My son's favorite thing with these is to have them stacked on top of one another to either watch all the motions in sync when the top button is pressed OR just to knock down the stack of blocks. They stack to the perfect height for a child who sits up. Bravo to the manufacturer!!

I got these for my son at about 8 months. He's now almost 14 months and still loves to play with these blocks. He's a "banger" so he loves to bang on the silly heads and watch the front spin. He's also learning how to stack them up. They're also small enough to put in his bag when we go out. I didn't even notice that they had stickers on them. But, his daycare center has these too, and ten one-year-olds play with them every day and the stickers have never come off. A great toy for the money.

My sister bought this for my son when he was 4 months old (now he's 7 months)He loves it, particularly the blue block. We take them with us on road trips, airplanes or for a troll in the carriage. He can hold one of them at a time or I stack them adn he plays with all three. It is not one of those annoyingly loud battery operated toys. It is simple and basic yet fun for babies. An "old school" type of toy. Definetly worth buying!

I found these brand new at a garage sale for 50 cents! My 7 month old son loves them, although I have to hold them steady when they are stacked on top of each other for him to play with. I would definitely buy them again and would pay far more than my garage sale price!

I bought these for my 16-month old son for Christmas (from Amazon for $10 with free shipping) and I only wish I had found them sooner. It's really easy to stack the blocks because they have the button on top and a concave bottom. I must have mis-read the description because I expected them to light up, but they don't. When you push the button on top, one side of the block moves. When you stack the blocks, it pushes all of the buttons so all of the moving parts move. Another side has a flap that you either move side-to-side, up and down, or twist depending on the block. The other 2 sides of the blocks have A, B, C and 1, 2, 3.
I read one review that said these were smaller than expected so I expected them to be pretty small, but because of that review, they are bigger than I expected and the perfect size for my son to pick up with one hand. I would guess that they are about 3 inches on each side.
I definitely recommend these blocks.

My daughter was possbily least enthused about this set of blocks out of anything that I have purchased for her. They are interesting in theory and idea, but in practice they're a bit disappointing. They're not super easy to stack and the different little features are not very easy for little hands manipulate. I thought perhaps that they were too old for her but at nearly a year and able to do puzzles, she's still not interested in them! Not my top recommendation in blocks!

I think these blocks are wonderful for learning coordination, my 10 month old baby loves the hinge door on it, and the spinners - BUT, scraped the sticker off of the spinner with his 4 new teeth within 5 minutes of getting the toy, of course he loves paper and somehow knew right away that it was only paper and tried to get it off. My suggestion, go ahead and remove it yourself, if your worried about your baby swallowing it.
