Giant Building Block 40-piece Set Review

Giant Building Block 40-piece Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These are great, durable, fun cardboard blocks for your kids to build structures they can play in (for example, mine like to build walls under tables to make a fort or "rabbit hole" while they pretend they are rabbits, or they build towers around each other which they then love to crash down on their heads.) I like them because they are a nice physical toy that encourages the imagination. They are strong enough for kids to stand on (although I don't encourage it because they will weaken over time) and light enough that they aren't hurt if the blocks fall on them. And kids learn some spatial, balance, and construction concepts as well. Warning: assembly required, and you should take care when assembling to make sure you get them right (don't bend the cardboard in the wrong place or you will weaken them). Also,the best blocks are the larger red ones. The yellow ones are much harder to build with (no stability for height) and the blue (brick-sized) ones are nearly useless. I'm buying more of the red only, and I expect I will actually throw out the blue and yellow ones since they take up storage room but are pretty much useless. These blocks are expensive if you are going to buy enough of them. I recommend that your kids will need at least 30 red ones to really build things that they can play in (even building in an open-space brick-saving fashion)... and that gets costly. They can be stacked awayin a 2x3x4 area... it's helpful to cordon off a section of your room or have a big storage box that helps your kids figure out how to put them away. 5 stars for fun and child development, but I only gave 4 stars due to the expense and useless smaller blocks included.

Little People Ramps Around Garage Review

Little People Ramps Around Garage
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have 3 children ages 1, 3, and 5 who love this toy. Not only does it get used with the Little People but it also is used with other toys. My 1 year old loves the sounds and is able to put the people into the cars. It is so sturdy that it withstands his climbing all over it and it does not tip over on those occasions when he decides to stand up and hold onto it. My 3 year old daughter loves to play with the Little People that came with it and she loves the video that came with ours. My 5 year old likes to use it for staging battles with his green Army men and their planes and it occasionally becomes a hideout for the Superfriends action figures or Matchbox cars.
It has just enough electronic sounds to be fun but not to take away from the kids' imaginations. With such a wide appeal and so many ways to use it, this toy is a great value! Way to go Fisher-Price.
