Product Description

Great for developing hand-eye coordination, conceptual thinking, and just plain having fun. Designed in Sweden by Brio and made in the Czech Republic.
Editorial Review
Ask any child-development specialist to recommend the single most educational and creative toy for a toddler, and you're most likely to hear just one answer: a set of wooden blocks. BRIO, a trusted name in the world of toys, makes this set of 50 natural beechwood building blocks that have smoothly sanded surfaces and slightly rounded corners and edges for safety. The basic cubes, rectangles, arches, pillars, half-circles, and triangles can be combined in endless combinations to create anything from a doll crib to a castle. The cubes are the smallest blocks (1.25 inches square), and the 6-inch-long arches are the largest. The blocks are designed in incremental proportions--three cubes line up to the same length as one rectangle, and three rectangles stack up to the same height as one pillar. Such design illustrates why a well-engineered set of blocks is so educational: playing with blocks of related-but-different sizes teaches sorting, matching, grouping, balancing, and spatial relations in some subtle and very important ways. This set of blocks is a classic toy that belongs in every home with a young child. --Marcie Bovetz

Blocks December 29, 2008
K. Knowland (N.C.)
The blocks were smaller than I expected them to be, but are actually more appropriate for an 18 month old's small hands. As he gets older he may find them too small.

 Nothing better for the imagination December 15, 2008
W. C. Dulany Jr. (Woodbridge, VA United States)
With all the high tech toys out there, it's great to get back to the basics. Both of my son and daughter enjoy building houses, forts, 'space castles' and more. This a great item for the kids and fun for Dad too.
 Not happy with customer service September 19, 2008
A. Roberto (New York)
Blocks are blocks and children love them.
However, when ordering this item I ended up having to place 2 orders because I inadvertenly sent the original item to the wrong address and never got a response to my email inquiry to cancel the 1st order.
I don't think I will ever order from this vendor again.
So great, had to buy a more June 9, 2008
Pattyblue (NYC, USA)
My 3 year old loves building so much that I had to get him another set of these great blocks so he could create more elaborate towers.
