I love Haba toys, but although this set is rated for 1-4 year olds, we had to put some of the pieces away as they are just too small for my grandson who loves to put EVERYTHING in his mouth. I'd given them to him for his first birthday, and although he really likes them, some of the blocks are just too small for a one year old. I am going to buy the Fantasy Jigsaw blocks to give him more to play with though and just put away the little parts till he can handle them.

Haba makes really nice, well made toys.

My son loves these blocks, and I wish I had these blocks growing up. They are top quality, but two of the blocks have a small red knob inserted into the top. My dog and my son worked together to remove the knob on one of the blocks, and I later found it in my son's diaper.

We now have 3 or 4 sets of them and the kids make wonderfullly creative towns, buildings and towers out of these blocks. They are always the first blocks by kids choose to play with at our house. These will be kept for the kids forever.

Gorgeous blocks which look great even after our puppy got ahold of them. However, some of the blocks (the half rounds and the dome shaped ones) are too small for my 17 month old. She put them right in her mouth and the entire block fit right in there (and she is petite!). Also for breastfeeding moms, the dome shaped ones look awfully like breasts so the little ones are really drawn to putting them in their mouths (no kidding). Still, we just put away the domes and the half rounds and still are left with a great assortment of gorgeously colored durable SAFE blocks from a reliable European manufacturer. The best assortment we've seen including beautiful graphics, holographic details, some prismlike blocks, columns, blocks with holes with columns, a block with a bell, an arch and two shaped like mini staircases. Even the 11 year old is helping out with design for the toddler! Just put away the smaller blocks until your child is old enough not to put them in his/her mouth.

My son loves the blocks. The look like no other blocks and he gets a kick out of the block with the bell inside and the clear plastic blocks that look like ice cubes. To my horror, he can put a few of the smaller ones entirely into his mouth so I took them away so he can play with when he's older. Watch out for this if you buy these wonderful blocks.

I bought these blocks for my niece who is a little over a year old. I was told that she immediately gravitated to these blocks on Christmas day and spent most of her time playing with them. The blocks are whimsical, colorful, different shapes and provide inspiration for a child's growing imagination. I wish I had toys like this when I was a child. Great buy!

These blocks are so much fun - and in great, bright colors and shapes. Our 1 year old daughter received them for Christmas and loves to have us build them up, so she can knock them down. Great set of starter blocks - can't wait to get more Haba blocks to add to them.

Very interesting product, captured interest of 16 month old, easy to manipulate and durable! She loves them... I only wish there were more blocks. I recommend buying a similar set to go with it.

I bought these blocks for my 8 month old nephew. He likes to play with one or two blocks at a time. His 3-year-old brother used them more to build. Very durable, great colors and shapes. One shape did make me a bit nervous as it could just about fit in the younger one's mouth, but that was easily hidden.

The blocks are great. My 1-year old son loves them -- the blocks are the first thing he goes for in the morning. Well designed, made in Germany, non-toxic... what else do you need to know?
