 great quality, entertaining but VERY small September 16, 2008
Overall it's a good product. I'm happy with the quality and that the blocks are made of safe materials. Your baby will have a lot of fun playing with them. Just make sure you know that the blocks are VERY small. I thought that they would be a little bit bigger.
 Great toy, multi-functional and will be able to be enjoyed for many years June 16, 2008
There are so many things you can do with these blocks. Besides the favorite now - putting them in her mouth (she is 6 months old and teething), our daughter also enjoys knocking down our towers, shaking the blocks (some make noise), and looking at the colors/feeling the shapes. But as she grows, she will make use of some of the other features like being able to look through the kaleidescope block and tinted window block...building things...using them to learn colors, etc. Great, durable, good longevity.
 Not much play value, and not very durable June 15, 2008

When you receive this toy, the first thing you need to do is inspect them. In the set I ordered, the block with the little ball inside arrived damaged. The dowel which keeps the ball inside was loose, and the ball was able to fall out. This was a serious choking hazard. My daughter would take everything into her mouth, including this ball perfect for choking, had I not caught it. I contacted the store I bought them from, and in a couple of weeks, I received a new block. Just something to be aware of.
I love wooden toys, and try to buy wood instead of plastic whenever possible. Be aware though that wood is sometimes not as durable as plastic. I was washing a bunch of my daughters toys in the sink recently, and had this off to the side because I was only going to wipe it off, since it's wood. Unfortunately one fell in, and after only a few minutes in the sink I had to throw it out. The wood expanded and cracked.
When I bought this toy, I though my daughter would enjoy all the activities these blocks have to offer. Turns out that she didn't pay much attention to it at all. The only one she really paid attention to was the block with the bell. She mostly used these blocks for chewing on, and throwing them over if I stacked them.
I still love the little "discovery" things in each toy, and as she gets older she might play with them more (she's 12 months now). But for the play value this toy has provided up to now, it's a bit overpriced. Regular wood blocks would have served the purpose just as well.
 Cute but not great June 10, 2008

I received these blocks in the mail and there were less blocks than I expected for the price--only 6. They are super cute but my child never really played with them at all. I wouldn't recommend them.
Love these blocks January 30, 2008
These blocks are great! They are bright, small enough for little hands to hold and my daughter loves them. Each block has a different center and they make play fun!
