5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome toy that grows with your child

This toy has been loved by all 3 of my children. We got it for our first baby who loved knocking them all over when we stacked them. Then children are able to nest the blocks and stack them themselves. Now our 6 and 5 year old stack them up for the baby to knock over. I love that it is a toy that grows with our family. It is educational and helps promote many skills for them. Cause and effect, motor skills, learning about animals and letters. Melissa and Doug have come out with a wooden version of this toy that also looks super cool and if this set ever does give out, I would buy the wooden one. These are made from a sturdy cardboard. We have had ours for 7 years and there's wear and tear on the corners but they are still in great condition with lots of play left. I recently bought a set for my friend's 1 year old. Great price for a great, long lasting toy. I love Melissa and Doug.

Lovely concept

Molto bello, avrei preferito che fosse in italiano ma non l'ho trovato, comunque ha il doppio scopo di gioco, fare la torre e farla cadere va bene anche per bimbi piccoli, per i più grandi ci sono animali e alfabeto..ha bei colori

This is the 2nd one I’ve gotten. All four of my grandchildren have played with this. The younger ones ( ages 6 months to 2+ years) love knocking over the tower I build for them; their game is to knock it over before I can build it. It’s a great activity for “floor time”. As they get older we switch and they build and I knock over, and the 10 year old plays with her 9 month old cousin and is getting excited to play with her 4 month old baby sister. It’s a great tool to get a variety of ages involved.

1.0 out of 5 stars Good Toddler Toy - Wish it was a little more sturdy

UPDATE: the largest blocked ripped up the side and on another block the top (star and square design) has completely lifted off the block. I’ve dropped this to one star because the quality really is lacking.My son got this for Christmas exactly 2 weeks ago today.Pros: He really enjoys playing with this toy and stacking the blocks. I do think there’s a good educational value to the toy with the alphabet and the different animals for each letter. It’s also not a heavy toy. It’s easy for him to carry around the house.Cons: I do think there needs to be some improvement in the quality. The blocks are a bit flimsy and I could see them being easily damaged. The top of each block has a sort of star with squared around it design. It is not properly aligned on every block and due to that it’s not properly glued down. So a good number of the blocks have the top part already starting to peel off along the edges (will attach pictures).Most toddlers are very curious. Once they see something that they can kind of pick at and peel they will do so. As of now, none of them have gotten ripped but I can see this possibly happening.As an example, my mother-in-law has a toy similar to this. She’s had it since around 1995. The blocks are made from a very similar material, however it’s thicker thus makes for a sturdier block.All in all, I think Melissa & Doug has a good lineup of toys. This one just needs a little more work when it comes to quality and sturdiness.
