BRIO Natural Blocks - 50 pcs Reviews

• I did not keep them

  These look like the standard wooden blocks we all grew up with in the online picture, but they are not. These are in fact a miniature version of our old standard blocks - maybe a quarter of the size. Perfect for losing all over the house, and not at all what I had in mind for my little boy. I see now in the online picture that there are no children in the picture with the blocks so that one might be tipped off to the size. If you are looking for little blocks, that's fine, but if you are expecting the old familiar basic chunky wooden blocks, look elsewhere.

  The largest is not six inches long, it's only three inches. Some blocks were splintered and looked banged up. I returned immediatly, not safe for children of any age.

  I got this toy recently because I felt it was important that my daughter begin to play with blocks. she has nesting blocks, but gets frustrated when the blocks fall into the "nest" and dont stack up. This toy is fun for her, she seems to enjoy playing with the smaller blocks, and her mommy seems to enjoy building more than she does! however, im happy with my purchase because I know this is a good investment, the blocks are durable, they will last me for future children, and im sure my daughter will love them when she sees how much i love them!! A worthwhile purchase.
  
  

• Disappointed

  This product did not have a very clear description. I was disappointed when I received it as the blocks are very small and not at all what I expected. I am confident that Brio makes a quality product, but the product description should include measurements and describe the size of the blocks better.

  These blocks are very small and not at all what I was expecting. Maybe I did not read the description closely.
  
  
• hours of fun
  By A3OXCD5TD4XZB7 on 2003-11-08
  the best toy for toddlers, my godson spends hours playing with them! very durable and engaging.
  in fact i used to have a set as a child and they had the same effect.
  
  
• Smaller than what I expected but still good.
  By A1GGMY7IC3VAPB on 2005-10-01
  I was anticipating larger pieces than what I received. I had a large set or wood blocks of the same design as a child but were much larger. These are good and my 2 year old enjoys playing with them because they are smaller and lighter. It's just the clean up afterward which is the problem.
  
  
• not standardized preschool blocks
  By A1E9N5FK21NDTD on 2005-10-19
  these are indeed nice blocks but don't be decieved, they are not the standardized preschool blocks you see in preschool and kindegarden.
  
  
• My child loves these blocks
  By A18D2A3WVA3E4A on 2005-02-19
  Of everything he got for Christmas, this is the only thing he plays with on a daily basis. He plays with them non-stop most days. The only thing I wish is that the blocks were bigger. They were actually smallr than I thought they would be. He likes them, and they don't make obnoxious noise like a good percentage of his other toys, so I can't complain.
  
  
• good basic block set
  By A3SDAM180VXS33 on 2005-08-13
  The blocks are nice, but I was hoping they'd be a little bigger. They are made of good-quality wood and the edges are eased so no sharp corners.
  
  
• Splintery blocks
  By A1V9K5SWHVOYBQ on 2007-05-29
  These blocks were a complete let down. They are made of substandard material with splintering wood...Very bad for liitle hands to get. Thought I got a defective set but second was just as bad.
  
  
• Great toy!
  By A30SZ9QW1GR08J on 2006-02-09
  We bought these blocks for our two year old son because he liked stacking his legos so much. The legos and megablocks have been put in the closet since he opened these at Christmas. Anyone with a toddler knows how hard it is to keep them focused on any one thing for very long. Our son will play with these blocks for 20 minutes straight without stopping! He loves to build all of his fisher-price alphabet animals a house and then knock it down to build a house for the next lucky animial. These blocks are the first thing he goes for in his playroom everyday. I love to sit and watch him as he analyzes each piece and decides which would be the best to build his house with. It's great for hand/eye coordination and its got to be good for self-esteem and imagination.
  
  
• Wonderful set of blocks
  By A32M36IRVG5BQL on 2005-12-20
  My daughter loves stacking these blocks on top of each other. She has learnt to stack them when she was a little over a year. This is a versatile toy which can be fun for many years. I saw people complaining that the blocks were small, but this is just the size such small kids can easily manipulate, I think. I highly recommend!
  
  
• Favorite toy
  By ACG803UHLJRK9 on 2005-10-27
  My now 3-year-old has enjoyed these blocks since she could barely stack them on top of each other. She plays with them more consistently than any other toy she has, except perhaps some of her stuffed animals. They're also a lot more affordable than many block sets out there. I'm planning to get an extra set to keep at her aunt's and her grandmother's house.
  
  
• Great experience.
  By A29HF7T8Y1BDWM on 2006-11-04
  The blocks arrived promptly as described. Would definitely do business with again.
  
  
• perfect basic blocks
  By A3H0GZLOHCDW89 on 2007-01-24
  These are great. My two year old is telling me shapes now and learning how to build towers. It helps her to understand concepts like spacial reasoning and gravity. I like how there is no paint to chip off (or get chewed off by the little ones- you never know what is in there..)This set is relatively small but just right for a toddler. If you feel like building a tower complex along with your child you will certainly want to buy more than one set.
  
  
• It's exactly what you ordered
  By ANW9K85S0H19W on 2007-07-18
  This is a good product. It is exactly what you want from a block set. 50 blocks is a lot. Natural and safe. I suggest this product.
  
  
• Small blocks
  By A3JL2FY1HD1E41 on 2008-05-08
  The picture provided makes these blocks look huge! Sadly they are not. I was very disappointed when they arrived. My son though loves them, plays with them and doesn't complain. I just wish they were three times the size they are. The smallest square is about 1 1/2x 1 1/2. Just to give you an idea of the size, all 50 blocks fit into a gallon ziplock bag!!!! I regret this purchase.....
  
  
• Great Fun!
  By A2CRNH3OYFZB9S on 2002-11-29
  My child loves his Brio Blocks! These natural blocks are great because they have no paint so I am not concerned if he puts them in his mouth. They are also quite durable, and allows my son to build things that only his little mind can come up with.
  
  
• Best Block Assortment
