The blocks are super cute, but I wish the edges weren't so sharp and they were a little bigger.

Wouldn't recommend these blocks, sorry

We purchased these blocks in store for a Christmas angel toy drive. When we got home we noticed the blocks were flaking off the colored paint and there was chips of wood you could see in the clear packaging. We bought Melissa and Doug for the brand name as we have had good experience with their other toys. I would not recommend these to anyone, even age appropriate at 2 years I wouldn't give my toddler something with peeling and chipped paint.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I purchased these blocks for my one year old grandson . At this point he just enjoys stacking them up but it is a nice introduction to the alphabet . The blocks are solid and colorful but seem to be a tad bit on the smaller side ( from what I remember them being when my daughter was that age ).

After my son played with these blocks maybe 5 times slivers on wood began splitting off the blocks. Very dangerous! I called and was told they would send replacements but don't feel safe giving these to my son to play with.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I thought there was too much on one block--drawings, numbers, more than one letter of the alphabet on each block.

How is your child to learn from this incomplete set of blocks? Very disappointed. Shame on them. Of course it won’t let me load the picture to show how ridiculous it he set is!
