These blocks are excellent; they are expertly put together, have brilliant colors, and have withstood months of activity without any problems. When we bought the blocks, there was not a lot of information available on how they were constructed. When the blocks arrived, we did some additional research, and the information that follows is helpful and is taken directly from the manufacturer's website."We want to address the ongoing concerns about the use of lead paint in the production of toys because safety is our top priority.We at Uncle GooseTM want to reassure all of our customers that all of our products, including our letter blocks, exceed all voluntary and statutory lead content in toy requirements. Since we manufacture all of our goods in-house in Grand Rapids, we have complete control over the manufacturing process, from wood milling and inspection through shipping.*Our goods are produced from replenishable, kiln-dried basswood that is farmed in Michigan.We utilize non-toxic, kid-safe inks that have the added security of having undergone independent lead testing prior to use.ASTM-F963/EN-71 Compliant and CPSIA Compliant*Our method includes eight stages of inspection to guarantee great quality, and we are always looking for ways to get better."Overall, these blocks have exceeded our expectations, and we will definitely order more from this supplier.

adore these These are incredibly stunning and of the highest caliber, and I used them as our centerpieces for my daughter-in-baby law's shower (the birth of my first grandchild!). Since I was hoping for a girl, I didn't want the typical blocks in bright colors but rather something organic and neutral (to go with our pink decor). They have a lovely natural wood tone, which is just what I was seeking for, and the elaborate embossed design. Although they could be painted, I like them just the way they are, and I'm sure my future grandchildren would too. I purchased one set each of alphabet and numeric blocks. So that we have enough alphabets to spell more words, I'm going to order another set. The only thing I would change is adding a nice bag or other container for them. I am aware that Uncle Goose makes colored blocks that arrive in a bag, but not these. So making a stylish canvas carrying bag will merely be a pleasant hobby for granny. Since the baby shower was over a month ago, I've kept the blocks out since I really adore them and don't want to put them away.

My expectations were not met by this collection. I questioned whether 8 blocks would be sufficient to keep anybody occupied, but these came to the rescue on a recent 17-hour road journey. Just two blocks held our 11-month-attention old's for nearly two hours. He was amused and quiet for another 30 or so minutes after we put them away and pulled out the skinny blocks for another part of the journey.They were well-liked by our other kids. The 7-year-old spent an hour playing with the set.The actual blocks themselves are decently made. They have a solid wood block appearance and feel. When the components are clasped around a magnet, you can just barely make out a slight seam. The magnets are powerful enough to hold the blocks together and prevent them from disintegrating, but not so powerful that small hands can't purposefully release them.The block storage envelope is incredibly nicely made and simple to use. The blocks fit into the envelop inside the diaper bag with ease and stay there.I like the blocks even though they aren't exactly what I expected. They cannot be used to construct conventional block-type buildings since they are magnetized, and magnets have poles, but they are useful for various kinds of exploration and discovery. These are not the building blocks you're looking for. For a highly robust and high-quality construction block set, I like ECR4KIDS 64 block set.This is a wonderful option if you're looking for a high-impact toy for your diaper bag that doesn't make (much) noise.

They queue up to use it in my K–1 after-school class, which I ordered for! The autistic students I have in the class also love it since it helps to keep them calm and concentrated for a time. Since you have to rearrange pieces to make everything fit at the end, it also serves as a good way to test your perseverance. countless opportunities I heartily endorse it! Small and wooden components make this item unsuitable for children who enjoy putting toys in their mouths.

Although intended for young children, I believed the puzzle could benefit my 90-year-old mother, who is suffering from Alzheimer's. I was correct. She rapidly reassembled the puzzle board with the parts, giving her a triumphant victory! Success! She had to consider it, but she had a choice. It wasn't demeaning at all because she didn't view it as a baby's game either. I went one step further and asked her to name the colors, which she could (still) do for the most part. This appears to be a useful small tool to keep her mind active and functioning as best it can.

I bought these so that my 10-week-old can discover and learn. After looking, purchasing, and returning a few sets, I enjoy that they are available in vibrant hues. I have been extremely happy with these thus far.They are manufactured with non-toxic paint, a wonderful size (see image), and limit the risk of choking hazards. They also appear to be made very nicely with smooth wood and are sufficiently light. On two of them are letters, while the other two feature math, pictures of animals, and letters. Only the letters and numbers are colored, but the other sides are also engraved; this will be ideal as my child develops and learns. They stack smoothly and provide a variety of learning and fun opportunities.They also include a mesh carrying bag, which although I doubt we would use it, is still lovely to have.

I bought these blocks because I needed a basic, simply stacked block to introduce the idea of stacking to my one-year-old. This is a timeless toy that reminds me of my youth. They are a touch little, making them less solid and more difficult for a young child to stack, so after I first bought them, I wished that I had acquired a version of this with larger blocks that I had seen at Walmart. But when I pulled them out again recently, my now 16-month-old played with them nonstop for almost 45 minutes. A few of them can now be stacked by her on her own, and a block is the right size for one of her small hands. She also enjoyed placing them inside and removing them from the container, which is good for storing, I will add. Of course, using it as a pull toy also kept her engaged. Although we haven't thoroughly explored the letters and images on them, they are also a fantastic educational tool. Overall, I would say that is absolutely worth the money, though if you are buying for a small child, you might want to consider a larger one.If you find my review useful, kindly mark. Thanks!

For my son, I purchased many Tegu sets (one boat, one spaceship, and one robot). They are very kind. They resemble wooden Legos that use magnets to hold themselves together. You can create a variety of shapes using the parts included in each kit, which also includes a design booklet. This boat set, for instance, may be transformed into a spaceship, an airplane, and even some animals. Sets can also be combined.Additionally, the sets offer a useful introduction to magnets. Each piece features poles that, depending on how the poles are combined, will either attract or repel other pieces.One drawback of these sets is that the magnets aren't always that powerful, and I've discovered certain components that will slip off whatever you're building very readily. Additionally, their pricing is a little high and may be reduced. Other than that, using these Tegu blocks is a fantastic method to let a kid's imagination run wild.

Because they're so cool, you can't help but play around with them. More, in my opinion, would be preferable, but it is not necessary. This is all you need. According to what I've read, these were produced in Ecuador or a comparable country to raise funds for the locals.These blocks, for those of you who don't know, are magnetic. awesome fun

Although they are smaller than they appear in the pictures, my one-year-old grandchild still enjoys them. Maybe because they are smaller, she can hold them with less effort (more than one at a time). When she throws them to the ground, she seems to enjoy the sound they create. A toddler under the age of three would not be at risk of choking because they are still a safe size. Although they appear to be everywhere but the box, they are packaged in a lovely wooden box that may be used to keep them. Parents, beware—they hurt quite a bit to tread on in your stocking feet, so you might want to try to contain them. These should last a long time and be suitable for many developmental stages because they are colorful and constructed of wood. Each one has letters, numbers, and pictures, making them useful learning tools for when she starts to name and spell things. For a modest return on investment, I believe it was a wise choice.
Most experts say that wooden blocks are safe for babies, as long as they are age-appropriate and the baby is supervised while playing with them. Some blocks may have small parts that can pose a choking hazard, so it is important to choose blocks that are the right size for your baby and to always supervise while they are playing.
Most babies begin to babble between 6 and 9 months, and say their first words between 10 and 15 months. But every child is different. Some babies start speaking earlier and some start later.
Yes, two year olds can say their name. However, they may not be able to say it correctly all the time. Two year olds are still learning how to talk and they are usually not very good at pronouncing words correctly.
Building blocks help a child's development in many ways. They help with eye-hand coordination, fine motor skills, problem solving, and spatial awareness. They are also a great way for children to learn about colors, shapes, and sizes.
One-year-olds are able to stack up to four blocks. But they can only do it if the blocks are big and if they are placed close together.
