my three year old grandson loves building things with these original blocks. they help him use his imagination as they are fun shapes and faces and colors rather than the regular boring blocks. they are light so i am not afraid that his one year old sister will hurt herself or throw them and hurt someone. a bit expensive but adorable.

HABA's blocks are probably the best around in the market since they are bright and colourful, use safe water based dyes thus having no chemical smell, perfectly rounded edges at all sides, big in size to make it safe for smell kids to play with and excellent, smooth finishing on the wooden blocks with no splinters. They may come at a hefty price tag, but judging from the quality of the wooden toys, that price is totally worth it.

Eeny, meeny zoo did not disappoint either, retaining all the great qualities typical of HABA blocks. And they allow kids to explore many possiblilies of creating different animals of different shapes and sizes. All in all, a good buy.

The only thing that spolit my experience of getting this toy: the bad packaging this toy came in when I received it, the sorry state of the box and clear cover seem to indicate that the toy is a used item despite me ordering and paying for a new item. Though this is no fault of the manufacturer. The problem lies with the seller. Just something for consumer to take note of.

My daughter is still playing with these blocks at 3 years old. She received these as a gift when she was a year old and we now combine these blocks with our Melissa and Doug block set along with the Haba Medieval set and she loves it. The faces on this become characters to act out scenes which is brilliant. Also, no paint has chipped off these with rigorous testing!

These are great blocks for toddlers-well made, durable, good for small hands, colorful, and a good addition to the Haba Fantasy blocks. Would consider buying more of Haba products in the future.

I decided that it was important for my son to have some quality blocks for Christmas. I am a reasearch-aholic and poured over reviews and suggestions before deciding on these. My son was 9 months at Christmas and these were an instant hit. Really the only thing he was digging from Santa's loot. They are extremely durable (he is 11 months not and loves to "hammer" everything) they serve as a clutch toy for learning to pick up and carry, a great teether, learning to stack, fill and spill (put them in a bucket) and a puzzle to but them back in the box. The colors are great and I have yet to find any mizzing or chipped paint.

Beautiful colors on these blocks - very cheerful! You can mix and match to make new animal shapes. Fun!

We love Haba products and this set is no exception. The blocks are wood. They are beautiful, vibrant colors. The variations in sizes and cuts is interesting to my daughter. She picks up a block, turns it over in her hands to inspect it and then repeats this process for the next block. We build structures for her and, of course, she knocks them down and cracks herself up by doing so. I feel okay with letting her put the blocks in her mouth as the paint is not toxic.

I was so excited to get these blocks for my daughter. But before I gave them to her I wiped them with a damp, white cloth to clean them and the paint immediately rubbed off any of the blocks that had bumpy edges (like the lion's mane or the alligator's tail) -- any place there was a crease on the blocks the paint came right off when I gently wiped it.

I returned this item. Too bad... they are cute.

got these for a one year old for christmas. they are as pretty and well made as blocks can be. we aren't a family that loads our kids up with tons of toys and we try to not buy a lot of junky plastic things that will end up in yard sales. in general we try to buy timeless high quality things that could possibly be passed down to grandchildren one day. this is that kind of toy. i only gave it four stars because there are some feet that look like hippo or elephant feet but there is no head to match. it was honestly advertised so maybe thats unfair of me but it just seems a little odd. an elephant would have been fun. the girls don't care though they just make fanciful animals with extra feet. i plan to buy more haba blocks. don't be put off by the price. hand made blocks are quite a lot of work and the hand painted faces on these are adorable. another nice thing about them is the very high quality stain. you can faintly see the wood grain through the bright colors which is really pretty.

A little too advanced for our 16 mo. Durable, adoreable, and will surely come out in a few more months.
