Ordered for my son to work on motor coordination, we are really happy with the product. They fold down to flat boxes and though somewhat tedious to put together, they wind up extremely sturdy and toddler-damage resistant! Colorful and all-around in keeping with the brand's great products. ****Note that most of the boxes are the tiny size, some are medium, but only 4 are large shoe-box size. If ability to build a big structure is what you are after, you definitely need their bigger set.

This basic set of Cardboard Blocks was a big hit with my 2 year old grandson! They are easily assembled, sturdy (he stood on them) and lightweight. He was facinated with building a tunnel for his "choo-choo"! I have seen them in use over the years and always knew they would be an early purchase whenever I had grandchildren. I wish I had them when my own children were small!

We bought this set of blocks mainly for our 2 1/2 year old son. He absolutely loves them! I was a little concerned when reading the reviews that people were saying you really need more of the big red ones to have the most fun. Yes, I suppose more big blocks would be fun, but the sizes of blocks that come in this set have managed to entertain my son quite happily for several hours. We may add on to the set later, but for a starter set, this is great! They are also much sturdier than I imagined they would be. My 30 lb son can line them up like a balance beam and walk across them with no problem. Overall, we are very happy with this purchase.

The blocks were easy to assemble and the child who received them loved stacking and knocking them over. He'll have many fun times with them!

We had a set of these block in our church nursery and the little ones played with them a lot. For cardboard, they are remarkably sturdy and hold up to a lot of handling, kicking, throwing, and other kid abuse. The one thing you can't get near them is water/juice.
I got a set for my grandsons and they love them. Colorful and steady, these blocks transform into castles, car garages, and fortress walls. A good play value.

I bought this for my nephews first birthday and it was the perfect gift. He was starting to get tired of all his old toys and playing with these blocks will keep him entertained for a long time.

Our boys have played with these for years. We bought when they were 2, and at 6, beat up and some crushed from being jumped upon, they are still going strong. They still build mega-building with them for their lego and playmobil characters and toy armies. They'll last a few more years both in durability and in kid's interest level.

We got these for our 2 and 4 year old children. I can remember playing with these when i was younger and thought they'd be fun for them. Once my husband and I figured out how to put them together, we could have put them together in our sleep. But it took awhile to figure it out. They are fairly durable cardboard so they are holding up well.
Great in developing creativity in what they build with them. They build houses,bridges, and tall tall towers. They stack them by size and color.
We are enjoying them but you have to have a tote to store them in or you'll be kicking them everywhere:)

I purchased these blocks for my 26 month old twin girls. The blocks come in pre-folded flat forms that you have to assemble, which takes about 30 minutes for the entire box. My girls have utilized these almost every day by stacking, throwing, standing on them, making walls and plowing through them with their balance bikes and jumping on them. These blocks really take a beating and look no worse for the wear. They even tried to wash a few in the sink and they dried perfectly. The blocks can be cleaned with either a damp cloth or Lysol wipes with no issue. I was totally recommend these as a must have toy.

These are a MUST! The samll kids and up enjoy building, and of course knocking down, their towers. They are light, colorful and because of the three differnt shapes can encourage spatial decisions...or not! I find some think very ernestly about their towering designs, while others just put one on top of the other- no matter its size or shape. So far they have held up very well. Standing on them will quickly destroy them but so far, all the kids in the play group have not even considered doing so. My kids had these and they are now in their late teens. I actually still use them to put under items on the very top of my kitchen cabinets so the decorative item sits higher and is more visible. They were much more expensive than when I bought them for my kids. I got 48 blocks for 10 dollars back then, but times do change. Hope this helps!
