5.0 out of 5 stars Blocks of fun for all ages, September 27, 2007

My four-year-old daughter received these blocks for her birthday, along with a set of water blocks. What an ingenious idea! I have a 10-month-old too and both kids love to build towers and knock them down just to see what the sand and water will do inside. Built out of durable wood and plastic, I have no worries that I'll end up with colored sand or water spots on our rug or hardwood floors. Kudos to the inventor of this toy... must be a big kid just like myself! I have just as much fun with these blocks as my kids do.

I ordered these along with PLAN TOYS WATER BLOCKS which are also available here. The Plan Toy blocks are better quality with perfectly smooth wooden surfaces while these blocks have some roughness to them - i am afraid the kids might get a splinter from these. Also the water blocks add a new dimension to the fun as water is transparent and my 2.5yr old invented new games by holding a colored water block against his eyes and enjoy watching the world around him from a different hue. Also he likes when he place those blocks by the lamp and they cast colorful shadows. As to the strength of these sand blocks, he like to shake these and enjoy the "snick-snack" sound that the sand granules make. But if i had the chance to examine both sets in hand before purchasing, i would definitely have bought two of Plsn Toy ones. This toy itself is not bad as you can see from my ratings, it just pales against a higher quality counter-part.

Bought these blocks in 2009 (bought all 3 sets - water, sand and beads) and they are still being enjoyed by my granddaughter (now 3 yrs old). The water filled ones are still clear, not cloudy, and still no leaks which happens with some cheaper sets. Still give them a 5-star rating!
