Got these for my toddler and was so excited to give them to him. But these are disappointing for Melissa and Doug. They are so slippery and constantly fall over. For a 3 year old that’s super frustrating so we will be returning them.

Worst Melissa and Doug product I have purchased. Blocks are superlight, and the sides are not flat or level. There are ridges making them impossible to stack. My toddler is disappointed.

The blocks are too slick for little ones to stack. I'm really disappointed with this purchase.

My toddler loves building things with these blocks and then telling me to look at whatever he built. The varied colors, sizes, and shapes keep the building process fun. I only wish the blocks came in a reusable zip-top bag for storage, like some blocks do. So instead they are stored in a plastic bin.
Endless playing

Wooden blocks will always be my go to gift for ages 3-6. My son especially loves building and creating things. And he can spend so much time building things to play with his little cars. When company comes over other children opt to play with these as well.
Love the building blocks

My toddler has been playing with these for a few months now and they’re still holding up great! (Besides the ones the dog chewed up) They’re a perfect size for his little hands and the paint has held up.

Returning customer for this product! I think in total I’ve bought 4 or 5 boxes of these blocks. Not because of breakage or anything but because they are awesome! More kids means you need more for them to play with! Oldest set is from 2019. And those pieces held up pretty well!

Kitty - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
Cute basic block set, they’re painted so they are “slippery” they do have some small parts the half circles and half squares, so definitely not safe around mouthing children, I do wish they made these either slightly larger and charged a bit more or left them unpainted but still a straightforward block set, non were damaged for us but personally Id probably go with another set for more $$ a larger unpainted wooden set would be better in my opinion! But since we have this now (Xmas gift) we use them but you can’t do crazy big builds so we get creative and use them in other ways with other toys!
