Teacher Review

Kids will spend hours building life-size castles and fortresses with this sturdy cardboard block set. Included are 32 blocks: six large red "brick" blocks, six medium-size yellow blocks, six small blue blocks, four drawbridges, four arches, and six turrets. This set is terrific for hours of imaginative play, and it can be used with other Imagiplay blocks to build large, life-size structures. Parents can use the castle structure to spark imaginative pretend play (who doesn't want to be a prince or princess); they can also encourage mathematical skills by helping kids discover that one large red block is the same size as two medium yellow blocks or four small blue blocks. Imagiplay blocks also enable children to explore and discover how they can control their environment and manipulate the objects within it. Made from 50 percent recycled cardboard and printed with nontoxic inks, the blocks have a smooth, water-resistant coating so they can be wiped clean. --Lauren Bernard, mother and elementary school teacher

I thought that these blocks might provide "hours of play" and what they provided were hours of assembling cardboard box blocks, and very little play for my 2 and 4 year olds. First, there are not enough blocks to make much of anything. Second, the blocks are so light, they topple easily. The picture on the box shows kids playing in a castle like structure built with these blocks, but I don't see how that is possible. Save your money. Use old shoeboxes.

My 3 year-old and my 6 year-old love these blocks. They build castles and then knock them down. The blocks hold up fairly well, you just can't jump up and down on them. We've had ours for almost a year and my kids still play with them all the time.

These blocks looked better in the picture. They are made of cardboard and are fairly insubstantial for the money.
