These blocks are light, which is great because they fall on my toddler often, but it's also the reason that they will eventually burn out. The box they came in is already half gone, but i mean for 10 bucks we've gotten more than our fill out of them at this point. It's worth spending $10 for the fun you get out of them while they last. Like I said, they wernt made to last forever, but thats the reason why they are so great. If they were made out of wood they would be too hard and heavy. Now if they made some out of a durable plastic that would be nice :)

This stacking toy box is great, my daughter has had them for a year and they are still a "go to" favorite which is impressive.
When she was 18 mo. she would look at the animals and letters, then she moved onto stacking and learning "big" "small" and size relationships...and now she is two and uses it as a "handbag". Our next learning step will be to associate the letters with the animals. "G for Giraffe"...etc.

Great smart toy for any toddler!!

These blocks are great! My mother got them for my daughter for a christmas gift a few years ago, she is now 3 years and 9 months. At first she liked to stack and knock down. Know she tries to find the next letter or find the right size to stack ontop of one bock so that the next block is smaller and fits.
The box has a handle so it is easy to carry. And the box can be used to stack on also to make the tower taller. The box is not as sturdy and she has only just started to stack on the box and doesn't use it all the time. She also has as much fun trying to find the right order to put them back in the box.
The blocks also have animals and colors that we use to help teach her them. She now uses them to teach her little brother how to stack, colors, letters and animals. She will also have conversations with the animals on the blocks, so I know that they are sparking her imagination also.
We have not had a problem with these block yet, but other Melissa and Doug cardboard items she has torn. Between her and now he little brother, it is only a matter of time before they tear.

My just-turned 2 year old had fun with this the first time he used it, but wasn't interested in it the the 2nd time I brought it out. His biggest problem was when trying to nest them. If he didn't have the open end facing up (one side out of six possible choices), he couldn't put any of the others inside. He had no problems on the stacking, though. I'll try again in a few weeks.
