Product Description
Editorial Review
With all the high-tech electronic toys available for kids today, it would seem that the basics would be long forgotten. However, often the classic toys are the ones children want to play with the most. This classic block set includes 50 solid wood 1-inch-square blocks that are ideal for stacking or building. Two sides of each block feature carved letters or numbers in bright primary colors for teaching the alphabet or counting during play. The other four sides feature stamped letters, numbers, or pictures for additional practice in identification. Blocks come in a hard plastic storage case with a cord handle for easily transporting to Grandma’s house. This block set will most likely become the most used toy in the playroom. --Cristina Vaamonde
Our durable blocks allow children to experience constructive play at its best!

Not for chewers-- wood too soft! June 13, 2003
By "cvj13"
Durability: Educational: Fun:
Although the recommended age is 2 years, I confirmed with the manufacturer that this age recommendation is for the child's interest/educational sake and not safety related. My ten month old loved the blocks and immediately bagan examining each one, as well as tasting them as everything goes in her month at this age. Within minutes, I noticed she had something in her mouth that she was chewing on. The blocks are made from such soft wood that with a little saliva she was able to scrape wood (and ink) off with her teeth! The ink on the side of the block was already smearing with a little saliva, and as I said she was able to scrape off the wood-- enough to chew on! Needless to say, the toy was taken away from her (much to her dismay). I was very disappointed with the quality of this classic styled old fashioned toy.

Oldie but not a Goodie! November 11, 2005
By Tawny Suchowierski
I got these blocks quite a while ago, proud of myself for finding these "good old blocks". They SUCK The paint was peeling off the first time it got a little saliva on it! The wood itself is very soft and easily destroyed and splintery Stay away from the Old Fashion Type Blocks!

Durability: Educational: Fun:
I just received the blocks and although they are nice they are very,very small- only about 1 inch square. I can't believe how tiny they are! I didn't even know they made blocks that small, lol.

Beware of Made in China
This product is great for young kids, at least those old enough to resist the urge of trying to eat the blocks. Read more

Love these blocks but I don't think it's safe for kids younger than a year old or even older! They are so small that a baby can jus put it in her mouth and suck the ink right off... Read more

Sharp edges -- Ouch!
These are small chunks of wood with sharp corners. I'm surprised they couldn't have been sanded down even a little, as they are, they hurt little feet and if she sits on them she... Read more

I love this product, however, if you are looking to store your block in the bag that comes with the toy, the bag does not hold all the blocks. Read more
