5 Stars Best Building Blocks Ever
From tunnels to towers and castles and forts, this building block set does it all. Grab the matchbox cars and have a race in and out of the roads you make, find your little people and priates and walk the plank. A whole new world will explode with a little imagination. Wish they were in a box that closed though….

5 Stars The one toy every kid should have
Bought 2 of these sets for my two youngest children 1 and 3 for Christmas. They are great. My 8 and 10 year old play with them just as often as my younger two. Just like the blocks found in a school setting, very durable and the wooden box they come in in perfect for building on top of if flipped over or for sitting in if you are little enough. I might even buy another set since 60 blocks is perfect for 1 child but once they start wanting to build towers high enough to touch 9 foot ceilings . . . you need more!

5 Stars Best kind of toy possible!
Blocks are one of the best possible choices. Children can invent so many different structures and scenarios adding animals, figures, etc. Blocks can be used often and help develop shape and number concepts as well as fostering creativity and problem solving. A great and lasting gift!

5 Stars Great blocks, great price
Once again, Amazon comes through for me. My son was having a “block party” theme for his second birthday and my wife wanted him to have more blocks. I found these on Amazon.com for an excellent price and even with the free super saver shipping, I got them before the end of the week!

The blocks themselves are sturdy and well finished. The wooden box is a nice touch, but it takes some work to fit the blocks back in after dumping them out. The blocks have enough weight that it really hurts when my son throws them at me. I enjoy building with the blocks as much as he does, so all around it was a great buy.

5 Stars Perfect for my son
My son (3 yr old) loved it. He plays with it almost every day. He designs different stuff every time he plays with it.

4 Stars Three-Year Old Loves Them
I purchased these blocks for my 3-year old nephew for his birthday two months ago and he is still playing with them. He received several trucks and a toy piano, but he loves his blocks the best. They seem to spark his imagination.

5 Stars Every child should have
Building blocks are one of the perfect toys for children of many ages. Our 3 year old twins, boy and girl, both love playing with these melissa and doug blocks. They are durable and a great size to build anything they can imagine with. It is nice that they are all the same color. We have some smaller M&D blocks that are in primary colors which are great to use as accents on whatever they build. You cannot go wrong with these blocks, a great toy. Most local toyshops ask about $59 for these, I paid $35 or so and with free shipping and no tax, it was a great find. Thanks Amazon.

5 Stars Grandson stated “Just what I wanted”
Grandson asked for building blocks, when they were opened he stated “Just what I wanted” Will be able to add to this set and he can build for years.
