 Learning from this toy in so many ways September 28, 2008
I bought this toy for my niece when she was about 16 months old. She loved it. The pictures, the sounds. Three months later, she's grown with the blocks. Before, she lacked the dexterity to orient them in three dimensions so make the animals match up. Now, she can handle three dimensional movement, no problem, and her challenge is to get the front and back to match up in the right directions. She knows what animals they are , knows how to make the sound of all of them (woof woof!), and when a pig or a cow shows up in another book, that she can go over, get the blocks and arrange them to make the sound. She. Loves. Them. Melissa and doug - two thumbs way up.
How can you not love this toy?? April 1, 2008
Honestly. Are people ignorant and just negative at every given opportunity? What's with such horrid reviews of this product? One, Melissa & Doug has the BEST customer service. If your sound blocks don't give the desired noise, call M&D. They'll send you new ones free of charge. Seriously. (They very happily replaced my train puzzle bc it didn't make the requisite "whoo whoo" noise.) Two, I love a puzzle that has only two pieces. What parent wouldn't?? And, finally, this toy really does challenge younger children. We had it forever, and my son always loved to help me put the pieces together. At 20 months, he assembled his first match on his own - much to his and my surprise and delight. He now loves to make all the matches, many times over. This puzzle is definitely more of a challenge than the ones w/the corresponding picture or shape under each piece (a lot of M&D puzzles).
Wonderful concept January 2, 2008
I love this toy no little pieces too lose - fun for infant to toddler. Makes great sounds. My youngest has enjoyed it at 1 month (the sounds) and my oldest now 3.5 still loves it. An great easy introduction to puzzles for toddlers and a great introduction to animals for infants. Win win! Not to mention its cute - I can display it instead of hide in with our plethora of plastic toys.
a quality product December 30, 2007
my grandaughter is 20 months old and I wanted to give her something for Christmas that wasn't made in China so I went with the local-made-in-the-usa toy. To my surprise, she loved the colors and sounds but was a bit to young to fingure out how the blocks put together made the animal sounds. She keeps at it tho and brings it to "mimi" to play with her. I'm glad I purchased this quality product
 Poor audio quality ruins great concept December 11, 2007
What a great concept ole "melissa" and "doug" came up with. Blocks with different farm animals that only make the sound of the animal when matched up correctly. Unfortunately, they should have spent a little more in the audio department. All the sound is garbly and distorted. Even better, the rooster sounds like he's being butchered, the horse sounds distressed, as if being chased by a pack of wild hounds.
I would have been willing to pay a couple of bucks more for a better product.
