Editorial Review
Ask any child-development specialist to recommend the single most educational and creative toy for a toddler, and you're most likely to hear just one answer: a set of wooden blocks. BRIO, a trusted name in the world of toys, makes this set of 50 natural beechwood building blocks that have smoothly sanded surfaces and slightly rounded corners and edges for safety. The basic cubes, rectangles, arches, pillars, half-circles, and triangles can be combined in endless combinations to create anything from a doll crib to a castle. The cubes are the smallest blocks (1.25 inches square), and the 6-inch-long arches are the largest. The blocks are designed in incremental proportions--three cubes line up to the same length as one rectangle, and three rectangles stack up to the same height as one pillar. Such design illustrates why a well-engineered set of blocks is so educational: playing with blocks of related-but-different sizes teaches sorting, matching, grouping, balancing, and spatial relations in some subtle and very important ways. This set of blocks is a classic toy that belongs in every home with a young child. --Marcie Bovetz

 Not happy with customer service September 19, 2008
Blocks are blocks and children love them.
However, when ordering this item I ended up having to place 2 orders because I inadvertenly sent the original item to the wrong address and never got a response to my email inquiry to cancel the 1st order.
I don't think I will ever order from this vendor again.
 So great, had to buy a more June 9, 2008
My 3 year old loves building so much that I had to get him another set of these great blocks so he could create more elaborate towers.

The picture provided makes these blocks look huge! Sadly they are not. I was very disappointed when they arrived. My son though loves them, plays with them and doesn't complain. I just wish they were three times the size they are. The smallest square is about 1 1/2x 1 1/2. Just to give you an idea of the size, all 50 blocks fit into a gallon ziplock bag!!!! I regret this purchase.....
Fun for parents, too! May 4, 2008
Not only does the baby love these (so far holding, manipulating, rotating, etc. and mouthing) these, but we really enjoy them too. We've been building towers for him to knock over and have discovered that Mama and Papa each have their own unique architectural styles and techniques. I love the natural wood and the pieces are sized well so that they fit together nicely (2 of one = 1 of another; 3 of one = 1 of another, etc.). I would definitely buy these as gifts for other people or buy more for ourselves when the baby is ready for more complicated tower building.
