 Wooden blocks, yea!Dec 31, 2008
Every child has to have a set of wooden blocks! These ones are good a bit smaller than what I expected but no complaints from my 5 month old daughter. The bag that comes with them is not really that big so don't expect to have all the blocks stay in.
 Ouch!!Dec 14, 2008
Be careful-- the corners and edges of these blocks are so sharp that if you or your child accidentally steps on them it's going to hurt-- badly! I am only giving this product three stars because I just don't think the quality is all that great. The corners weren't sanded, they are a bit on the small side, and the stamped pictures are very light on some of the blocks. I suggest buying the HABA brand blocks-- the price is much higher, but the quality is top-notch.
JUST What I was Hoping for!Nov 11, 2008
I received the 50 blocks today in a clear plastic package with a cloth bag included. The blocks are small-ish, at 1 1/4 inches, but they are not tiny. Because the colors and letters are bold, they are easy to read. I wanted some blocks to put around the house, especially with Christmas decorations, to spell some words. These will be great.
They will especially be great because I have some blocks that are I don't know how old, exactly the same size and design, that are holding up perfectly. I have had the word "Joy" in three of these blocks sitting on a shelf in my study underneath a Precious Moments baby Jesus in a manger--for years! Recently I rinsed all the pieces in plain water, and they came out great.
This is a great set of blocks, for a great price. I am very pleased!

Melissa & Doug toys made in ChinaNov 02, 2008
These blocks are colorful and have interesting pictures on the sides without letters. The corners are a little sharp when you or your little one steps on them, so keep them out from under your feet. I was surprised to find a big styrofoam filler in the bottom of the package, which I suppose is there to make an appearance of more blocks. I think using styrofoam for that purpose is pretty irresponsible, as it will now be in a landfill until the end of time, not to mention the dangerous chemicals required to make it in the first place. However, my main disappointment with Melissa & Doug toys is that they are made in China. I can't imagine why a company would outsource jobs to China to make simple wooden toys when we have plenty of hard working people and plenty of lumber here. I won't be buying holiday gifts from China this year, so I won't be buying any more Melissa & Doug.
Good but not great!!Oct 30, 2008
My Son who is now 14 months, got this for his 1st birthday. He was bit young for it then but is now more interested in the blocks and the animals on it and can recoginze a few of them. He likes me to build towers which he then proceeds to knock over. He also likes to hide the blocks under whatever he can find. Which makes keeping all the pieces together a challenge.
The bag it comes with for storage is realy not that great. It can't fit all the blocks, unless you pack them very nice and neatly, and who has the time for that.
