We bought this toy for my daughter for Christmas. She was 8 months old at the time. She loved it then and still enjoys it now, especially since we added the barn and car wash for her 1st birthday. They all work together well. The blocks are also fun to use as blocks (stacking and building, etc.)The songs and phrases are cute and often elicit a giggle from her. I would recommend this toy, we love it!

2.0 out of 5 stars The blocks are boring compared to Fisher Price's Peek a Block, December 30, 2011

These blocks make you think that you can rotate each side to make the "house" say different phrase. Not true. It's all the same regardless of which side you put it. I was hoping that when you see a side that has a "SPOON" or "DIAPER" etc, the toy will say it, not true. All it says are Mommy, Daddy, Baby.

The blocks are not interesting to look at. I prefer Fisher Price's Peek A Blocks. I do not think the written words are stimulating for a baby or toddler (unless you have an einstein baby that can read). Size wise, I'd say it's a good size and easy to grip. Smaller than Fisher Price's Peek A Blocks.

The bottom half of the blocks are painted, and when chewed on
(which all babies do), the paint comes off. As for stability, the "house" can easily tip over.

Another negative aspect of this toy is the drop down area where you can clearly see there is no "floor" to catch the block. If you put it on hardwood floor, beware that the block may dent your floor. Also a baby would put the block one after another, and after two blocks, you will find them stuck because the bottom block just stays there instead of sliding away making room for the second block. You have to sit next to your child and quickily remove the block so your child can drop another one in.

This toy does provide some fun when a toddler drop the blocks down (so do most toddler toys out there).

Bottom line is, if you buy this toy, remember to spend time sitting next to your child to remove the blocks when it falls down, and to read to your child what the word says on the block. Oh, and I would also suggest that you hold the "house" to prevent tipping.

If you are one of many parents that would prefer to have some free time yourself and let your child occupy himself/herself, may I suggest Fisher Price's Roll A Round Gumball toy or Fisher Price Incrediblock?

My son didn't get much use out of the Learning Town toys. When we first got them we thought maybe he was a little young for them but even as he got older he didn't have much interest in them. Of the 3 sets, he liked the garage the most because he could slide the blocks down the ramp.
