I was familiar with these Lego Quatro blocks because my granddaughter has a big bucket of them. I guess they don't sell the big buckets any longer, so I was happy to find this set. I ordered two sets of them, and they are just great! Unlike Lego Duplo, which have sharp corners and edges, these Quatro blocks have smooth rounded off corners and edges. Perfect for 1 year olds and up! They are brighly colored, fit together well, and my 3 year old granddaughter and now my 14 month old grandson love them.

I'd buy this toy again...he played with it right away this Easter when i gave it to him...


I have worked with handicapped toddlers and would have purchased this for my classroom and my 18 month old nephew loved it as well!

My two-and-a-half year old and my seven month old both love these blocks. My mom gave my oldest a bin of them for Christmas last year and he plays with them often. I bought this set so there would be more for him to build with. If your kids are older than two, you might want to skip straight to the Duplos (which my two year old also has and likes), but the large size of the Quatros makes them perfect for little hands. My seven month old obviously doesn't build with them yet, but he loves to play with them and chew on them and I don't mind because there are no small pieces. And, as another reviewer mentioned, the quatros have the rounded corners where the duplos are square with pointed corners. One thing to note... Lego says that their three block types -- Quatro, Duplo, and Lego -- all interlock, but the Quatros and Duplos we have don't really interlock. You can kind of stack them together, but not build anything structurally sound (the quatros will usually 'stick' in on top of the duplos if you work at it, but not vice-versa). It doesn't matter to me because we usually only have out one set or the other, but if you were wanting them for that purpose, you might want to just buy all the same kind. In any case, I am really happy with these and glad I was able to purchase this set to add to our existing one.

This is a great toy to play with your baby. I enjoy making new things with this set when I play with my 10 month old son, and each thing I make is like a new toy for him to play with, and to take apart. Very interactive and good for keeping the baby focused instead of crawling around.

My son loved these blocks first (~1 years old), but then he got tired of them for one reason. There is not enough of them and there is not enough sets which are compatible with them to expand the possibilities.

These blocks were recommended to me by the mother of a three year as a great birthday gift for my one year old granddaughter. She is on the young side for them now but her father loved Legos more than 20 years ago.
