 Depends on child's interest!Aug 21, 2010
Not all kids like building and construction! My daughter was not interested at various stages of her development. So although it was not played with by her, I still used it to enforce teaching shapes and colours. However, I do see potential for it later when teaching geometry!:)
 These blocks are awesome!Aug 13, 2010
I bought 4 packages of these block for my second grade students, and it has been money well spent! The students have very low linguistic skills and are very reluctant to speak, but they are very verbal when playing with these blocks, which is awesome to see / hear. They made some cool structures (castles, sidewalks, etc.) and were fully engaged. Awesome product! I highly recommend it.
 Great for the future architectMar 28, 2010
My son loves these blocks. Make sure you buy something to keep them in because the box doesn't last long if you can get the blocks back in the box at all.
Small and smellyMar 27, 2010
I ordered these blocks as a gift for my 1-year-old, who is getting really into stacking blocks. They just arrived today, and I noticed two things immediately. First, they are VERY SMALL! I'd read the other reviews commenting on this, but I was still surprised by the size. I'd say most of the pieces are between 1-2" on the longest dimension-- so, a bit smaller than a golf ball, not really great for building large structures.
Second, the blocks I received have a strong, unpleasant chemical odor to them-- like burnt garbage, maybe?-- that still hasn't dissipated after about 8 hours of sitting outside on a windy day. I'm hoping this will go away in time, since it's probably not worth sending them back, but in any case don't count on your kid being able to play with the blocks right out of the box.
EDITED: I called the Melissa and Doug customer service line and they assured me that the odor problem is not normal for this toy. They're sending me a free replacement in the mail. The person I spoke to was very friendly, and I was extremely impressed with the M&D customer service experience.

These blocks are great, my grandkids have a ball building towers and bridges, I was bringing in chunks of 2x4 for them to play with until one of the towers fell on my grandsons toe!...never hurt till he seen the blood!..anyway..they love them, also our Jack Russell loves them too when they forget to pic one up..will probably need to buy some more in a while!
