5.0 out of 5 stars Flat Animal Blocks, November 30, 2009

While this is recommended for 3+, I purchased it for my 14 month old. I expected to be pleased when it arrived, but I am thrilled instead! These are high quality, wooden "tags." My daughter loves tags and anything that is flat with a picture on it. She obviously doesnt play a memory game with it yet, however she enjoys removing them from the bag and either showing them to us or setting them down. Then she puts them back in the bag, etc. There are the usual animals like dog, cat, and lion, and there are also alligator, hippo, panda and walrus, plus many more. Anyone who has a 14 month old lives repetetively and it's actually fun to keep telling her what each picture is because it's just so exciting for her. When she pulls out the bee, we make a buzzing sound, with the cat, a meow, etc.

As for what this is intended for, a memory game: each tile has a curve on each end so that while they are face down they are easy for little fingers to pick up. This makes it a much better choice for the game than playing cards, plus these will last forever.

I bought this for my 18 month old. While she doesn't play memory yet, we use them for matching, learning the animals, making their sounds, etc. They do nit appear to be a choking hazard. They are great for babies who like to collect and sort. We absolutely adore them. I would however tie an extra knot in the bag's cord because it is long enough to go around a toddler's neck.
