The blocks are nice and seem well made, but I ordered 2 sets and both arrived dirty and scratched. Not sure if they are used or if there is just such little care in the manufacturing process that they get banged up. Construction seems good and the water is pretty, but the quality of wood is not as high as Plan Toys, Haba, or Melissa & Doug.

I have to admit I bought these more for myself than my daughter. Updated version of a classic block. Way cool!

A unique toy. Very pretty and fun to look at. A bit pricey for 8 blocks. My son doesn't care much about the water or glitter inside, he just enjoys stacking them and building with them as if they were normal blocks.

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!

Really nice variation on blocks. Our <2 yr old son loves finding different ways of stacking and arranging them, and pointing to the different colors. I worry a little bit that a really determined kid could crack open the plastic, but I think it's probably unfounded. Everyone who's been over has been admiring them too. I'm going to pick up a matching set of sand blocks. Only reason I'm giving 4 stars is the price, under $20 would be more reasonable.

Our kids (6 and 3) absolutely LOVE thes blocks. They give them opportunity for some creative play. I highly reccomend these blocks.

i bought these for my daughter to play with. the glue used needs to be better. half of them have no wood on them now. just the center pieces. if you drop one on a hard floor it will shatter. some are still together and its been over a year but then again she doesnt play with themeither. id save your movey for other toys or fix them as they break with a better longer lasting glue.

My kids both loved these blocks. They looked at everything through them. Learned their colors and how two colors make a new color. When they got older they made nice windows for regular block buildings. The yellow did leak a bit from a crack but it was so minor that i didn't even throw it out! Four stars because, like all blocks they need some supervision
