32pc Large Red Blocks Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We purchased these blocks to replace ones that were very worn out in our church's preschool department. These are the "real" blocks. Very sturdy, very easy to assemble. The cardboard is quite thick. In order to replace all the blocks we had to toss, we ordered from four different companies to get different sizes, shapes, etc. These were by far the best quality (thickest cardboard) and ordering from Joe's was by far the least expensive way to get the quantity of large blocks we needed. Shipping was very fast and customer service was excellent. A bit of advice for anyone ordering cardboard blocks - after you assemble them, wrap them in contact paper to make them last longer. It helps the block hold it's shape (because children will jump on them) and it also makes it much easier to wipe them clean as well as prevents children from gnawing on the corners and peeling the paper.

PlayBrix Cardboard Building Bricks-Set of 54 Assorted Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My kids love these. I bought them for the one year old, but the 6 and 4 year olds love them too. They take up a huge amount of space though. Don't think they will fit in a giant bucket or basket! We ended up taking half of the set to the church nursery, and what's left is more than enough for home use. They are stacked in a corner behind a door because they won't fit in any container in the house, including the giant plastic tubs from Lowe's.
They are fun and durable. I think this set, with the number included, is better for a classroom setting. Too many for home.
I wish they nested. That would be so much better.

Edushape 5" Jumbo Textured Blocks, Set of 16 toys Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I first used these blocks in a pre-school classroom. I have searched everywhere for them so that I could purchase a set for my two daughters to have at home. Hooray for Amazon! These blocks offer hours of fun, are safe, and easy to wipe clean. Kids love to build pretend villages, furniture and large towers, and if they tumble no-one gets hurt.

Edushape Corrugated blocks -52 pcs Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I did not pay $50 for these blocks. We bought them about 4 years ago for around $25- perhaps they were on sale? They are not worth more than $25. That being said I'm happy with the purchase. I put them in storage for a while and when I took them out the kids still loved them.
They are made of a sturdy cardboard but not strong enough for a child over 30 pounds to stand on. When they arrived they were flat and we put them together by bending them and locking tabs within.

Giant Building Block 40-piece Set Review

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.

Melissa & Doug Deluxe Jumbo Cardboard Blocks Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this for my daughter's fourth birthday because I remembered similar big red blocks from my own kindergarten years. It has been her favorite present. She has built towers, beds for her stuffed animals, hurdles, set up a restaurant table and chairs for her dolls, and more. It's a classic toy, great for creative play.
I do wish it had more of the big red blocks; the vast majority are the small yellow ones. And you do have to assemble the blocks, which is not too difficult if you have two people to do it. It really takes more than two hands.

This 40-piece set takes the blah out of blocks, especially for kids who create best with lots of pieces, lots of color, and lots of space. A staple item in many preschools, this set can spark endless imaginative play as children build large, life-size structures. Kids will find plenty of ways to construct forts, bridges, walls, chairs, and more with the easy to assemble pieces. Three different size blocks offer a strong building foundation as well as a starting point for kids to conceptualize math (one large red block is the same size as two medium blue blocks or four small yellow blocks, adding blocks, counting blocks, etc.). The blocks also help develop large motor skills and teamwork.

Made from heavy grade cardboard, these blocks are lightweight enough for small architects to lift and connect, but strong enough to support those same builders standing or sitting on them. Kids with a knack for construction and creative play will be enraptured by these bright red, yellow, and blue blocks for hours. The 40-piece set is made up of eight large red blocks (12" x 6" x 3"), eight medium blue blocks (6" x 6" x 3"), and 24 small yellow blocks (6" x 3" x 3").

Edushape Corrugated Blocks, Set of 84 toys Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Right at the start I want to make clear that these blocks appear to be good quality and sturdy. I played with similar when I was young and they were always one of my favorite toys. They do take a lot of time to fold up. I'm buying these for my first grandchild. The disappointment is in the number of different sizes. Of the 84 blocks, 16 are large, 16 medium and 52 small. This is not advertised *anywhere* that I was able to find, including on the Edushape website itself. I decided to take the chance anyway, but just be aware that you are buying the equivalent of 37 large blocks. From my childhood I remember that the big blocks were the most used, so it is too bad that so few big blocks are in this set. It clearly costs almost nothing extra to manufacture the large vs small blocks, and I would much rather have more big than small blocks. Beyond that, these type of blocks are one of the best toys a kid can grow up with, and these particular blocks are the size I remember (some of the other sets available from other manufacturers are much smaller - the big blocks should be 12x6x3 inches).

Giant Foam Block Set II (32 pcs.) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A foam block is just a foam block, no matter how it is marketed. With my first child, I have purchased similar blocks for my son for substantially lower prices. Because I am familiar with this kind of toy and its real value, I would never pay over a dollar a piece for a block of this type. And this product offer is asking you to pay over three dollars for each of these small blocks!
Foam blocks are easy to find at most toy stores and even from other online vendors. I like foam blocks, I gave them to my son when he was a baby and I plan to buy some new ones for my second son due soon. I don't dispute the value of foam blocks for a child's playtime, I dispute the ridiculous price asked for this toy (and other toys I have seen offered here as well).
While the convenience of online shopping is a great boon to busy parents, this simply crosses the line into the arena of taking advantage of parents' desires to do what is best for their kids. Spending (this much) for cheap blocks of the type that you can get for less elsewhere is not smart and does not do anything for your child that you are probably are already doing. Sure, your baby will like these blocks, but your baby will be just as pleased with blocks that are fairly priced. The money you save can be spent on other things your family needs. I advise all parents to pass this one by and caution them to be sure to look at all the products and prices offered here more closely.
