Amazon.com Product Description
 | | These sturdy blocks can be stacked high for endless combinations. | This 40-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. A staple item in many preschools, this set can spark endless imaginative play as children build large, life-size structures. Kids will find plenty of ways to construct forts, bridges, walls, chairs, and more with the easy to assemble pieces. Three different size blocks offer a strong building foundation as well as a starting point for kids to conceptualize math (one large red block is the same size as two medium blue blocks or four small yellow blocks, adding blocks, counting blocks, etc.). The blocks also help develop large motor skills and teamwork. Made from heavy grade cardboard, these blocks are lightweight enough for small architects to lift and connect, but strong enough to support those same builders standing or sitting on them. Kids with a knack for construction and creative play will be enraptured by these bright red, yellow, and blue blocks for hours. The 40-piece set is made up of eight large red blocks (12" x 6" x 3"), eight medium blue blocks (6" x 6" x 3"), and 24 small yellow blocks (6" x 3" x 3").

 The fun never ends... January 6, 2009
Gave these to my two grandbabies for Christmas. One is 4, the other 3. I can't beleive how much they loved them. They have built everything from castles to corrals. The blocks are lightweight and easy for little hands to handle and sturdy enough not only to sit on but to stand on as well. I anticipate years and years of fun. I love the fact that the blocks are cardboard and not plastic.
Blocks are fun! January 5, 2009
Got these for my grandsons' visit. The boys (3 years old)love them. They stand up to their use and ever better don't hurt anyone when they are tossed about. We store them in plastic storage boxes. Great fun!
Great toy January 1, 2009
First, these blocks are durable. I bought these for my oldest daughter. They ended up going through three children. There are still a few block around the house. I use them as spacers, to keep the couch from banging against the wall.
Second, these blocks are fun. My kids built forts, and walls, and roads, and more. As simple as they are, they were used a lot. One of the favorite games was for Dad to build a tower that reached all the way to the ceiling. Then it was time for the "earthquake" (complete with Daddy sound effects and child giggles) that had the tower tumbling down to the floor.
Third, these blocks are trouble free. If the kids want to stand on them, don't worry -- they won't be damaged. If the kids build tall structures, don't worry -- they won't hurt anybody. If the kids want to chew them, don't worry, they're safe for that also.
I thought the blocks were a nice toy, but my eyes were opened this Christmas. The daughter I bought these for left home, got married, and had a baby. (That's a nice order of things, but I won't claim the blocks helped with that part of here development!) This was the baby's first Christmas. It turns out we had a minor fight over who would get to give the new baby these blocks as a Christmas present! (My youngest daughter won.) You simply can't get a better review than that.
 VERY GOOD FOR IMAGINATIVE PLAY December 26, 2008
We bought these blocks for our 1-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son for Christmas. My husband and I assembled them (which was a fun little project for us to do together) and our 3-year-old son couldn't wait for us to be done. He liked building a house with these. And our little 1-year-old daughter likes to knock them down. They're very durable too! I was happily surprised at how well they are constructed. I would definitely recommend these blocks as a worthwhile toy for kids that promotes imaginative play. The only downside is... where do you store them? When they're not being used, we're going to keep them in a big sturdy trash bag.
Great Product! December 22, 2008
We bought this for our daughters second birthday! She is really into building and stacking things. I had bought the cardboard blocks because I was expecting our second child and didn't want him to get hit in the head with a hard or heavy block. They are so sturdy my daughter can stand on them. Great structure!
