In their words
“The Melissa and Doug products I have seen always seem juuuuust right! These blocks are wooden, not fake wood, not hollow, not plastic. They're like the sturdy ones you played with when you were a kid. The color assortment is great also. The blocks are fun to build with and to knock over! Great for all ages. When a child is able to build whatever they want or feel like building, the creativity beco”

“The colors of these blocks are vibrant! They are made of real wood and sanded smooth which is a must for little ones. I was surprised about the size of the blocks, I was expecting bigger. These are basic and will suffice. Love the quality but the size is lacking considering they are made for littles. Enclosed picture used a Pez dispenser for size reference.”
