Product Description

Editorial Review

This 200-piece set takes the blah out of blocks, especially for kids who create best with lots of pieces, lots of color, and lots of space. Kids (those 3- to 7-years-old) will not be hindered by a lack of material for their castles, bridges, fortresses, towers, and houses. There is an abundance of sizes and shapes, including a greater proportion of squares and triangles--the foundation of any building project. The lightweight, wooden pieces are coated with shiny, nontoxic enamel paint (red, yellow, blue, and green) that resists chipping. The box, however, is not as resistant. It has a carrying handle, but grownups should find a more rugged storage container for so many blocks, which are bound to otherwise end up all over the house. --Diane Beall

2.0 out of 5 stars Too small, October 30, 2006

I am disappointed in these blocks. They are much smaller than I had anticipated... definitely a choking hazard for smaller children in the house.

This set is HUGE!, and was exactly what I was looking for and varely inexpensive. My daughter is 4 years old and loves to build anything and everything. This is a great toy for various ages, and I even get a kick out of building with her. I definitely recommend this set of blocks to anyone..

I do also have to say, its A LOT of blocks so make sure you have something strudy to store them in.

The blocks were a lot smaller than I was expecting. Some could easily fit in a little ones mouth. I do not let my youngest play with the blocks without adult supervision, for fear of a choking hazard.
