Incomplete set. Don’t buy.

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!

Poor Quality

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 bought these for our baby snd as soon as I unwrapped the plastic, I saw that they were labeled as meeting formaldehyde safety standards. Ugh! There shouldn't be ANY formaldehyde! It's such a disappointment. The size was perfect for our six month olds but obviously we won't let any of our kids use toys made in China with toxic chemicals.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Wouldn't recommend these blocks, sorry
on December 19, 2020

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.
