24PCS Wood Blocks

It's time to find Christmas gifts for our youngest grandchild and first great-grandchild so we ordered a set of these for evaluation, along with a set of iPlay 72 piece wood building blocks. In both cases we had two levels of expectation: If we found them to be sturdy, well made products this is what we were looking for as a gift for our special young'uns. If we at least found them to be safe and practical we have plenty of neighborhood ankle biters who we were certain would appreciate a surprise gift from the geezers in the big old house on the block. Our hopes were easily met and exceeded by both products. We are absolutely delighted with this set of blocks. First, this is what you get: a total of 24 blocks, 4 each of 6 different shapes, each shape coming in four different colors. The dimensions: Every block is 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick Square - 2 inches (5 cm) x 2 inches (5 cm) Rectangle - 2 inches (5 cm) x 4 inches (10 cm) Circle - 1 7/8 inches (4.75 cm) diameter Half circle - 4 inch (10 cm) diameter x 2 inch (5 cm) height Right triangle - 3 3/4 inch (9.4 cm) height x 2 inch (5 cm) base x 4 1/4 inch (10.8 cm) hypotenuse Equilateral triangle - 3 7/8 inches (9.4 cm) each side I have a reasonably well equipped woodworking shop in our basement and have made many toys and gifts for our entire family. Judged from the standards of a fairly competent toymaker I can say without question that these blocks are surprisingly well constructed. Joints are solid and smooth - often undetectable. There are no gaps or uneven joins. The wood is high quality, warm and smooth. Some reviewers say some of the colored panels were loose/rattling within their blocks - we did not find this to be the case at all. The construction is uniformly tight. I could not have made a better set if I tried - and it would have cost me a whole lot more in materials (let alone time spent) if I had tried than what we invested in this purchase. We are certain that the special tactile feel and visual appeal of real wood blocks combined with the beauty of light shining through and reflecting from the color center panels will delight any child and provide for enjoyable play for years to come. We have only two minor criticisms that do not affect our five star rating in the least but deserve to be mentioned: 1. The rather weird "Agirlgle" product name may lead some to conclude that this is a toy intended only for girls and it would be too effeminate for a little boy. Don't you believe it! I have absolutely no trouble at all imagining myself, 67 years younger, being enchanted by a set of blocks like this and spending hours on end building, examining, rearranging and creating with them. 2. If we could change anything at all it would be the choice of colors. The green is a vibrant, deep green and the yellow is a bright, bold yellow. At the same time, the blue is a pale blue and the red can only be described as pink. If I had made the set I would have opted for blues and reds as vibrant as the yellows and greens as this would have also had the benefit of offering examples of primary colors. I may also have made a set with more pastel shades such as the blues and reds offered here, but I don't think I would have combined the two as has been done with these blocks. That said, they are still a delightful, striking, surprisingly well made set of blocks and we have no hesitation giving them our highest recommendation.

This is soooo great! one of m fav toys for 6month -9month old little ones. I love that this is a great toy for colors and seeing IN color this was so great. lots of pieces (for home, car/diaper bag, in laws house toys and toys for my parents house). This helps with color identification, stacking, shape identification, and imitation.

I notice it’s hard for my daughter to stay interested with most of her toys. This is an exception! She’s literally spending hours with them! I also really enjoy the way it looks with the light shining through them at the window. They’re super sturdy and the wood is smooth so you won’t get a splinter. Im getting a second set just because I love them so much but one set is more than enough to have a blast with and keep your kid engaged for a long period of time! - update: it’s been a few days and my daughter has been really riff woth the blocks. She’s tossed and thrown a few of them really hard 😳.. with that being said the blocks are super durable and have not broken at all! They take the regular beating any toy being regularly played with would. A+

Good quality! Fun for the toddler

They're pretty blocks. I wouldn't say they're in perfect condition, there are some scratches here and there and smudges on the plastic inserts, but I think they're good for the price. There is also a slight chemical smell, so I wouldn't let young children who like to chew on things have them.

Llegó en perfecto estado. El juguete es hermoso y muy versátil. Excelente calidad. Mi niño disfruta ver los colores con una linterna o luz natural.

Great gift for kids. Very colorful and well made. Fun to put up along the window sill and let the color shine in the room. A fun building block set. Would be great with a light table.

These are gorgeous, educational, fun and durable! I teach an outdoor class and they have withstood rougher play on rocks and even dried well after getting sprayed by spray bottles (though I wouldn’t recommend getting them wet). They are so fun to look through, build with and see the colored reflections. They won’t make a huge structure but they could easily be mixed with other blocks. I felt one set was just the right amount of different shapes and was easily shared with a small group. I’m very satisfied.
