Promising review: "My little ones are 3- and 5-years-old, and this set of building blocks is a perfect distraction for both of them. Although my little one primarily likes to knock down the towers his big sister builds, he is also learning to stack blocks and insert rods. I love the assortment of colors, sizes, and shapes. The material is also great for young kids so they don't hurt themselves when they inevitably throw the pieces around. Safe and creative toys aren't always easy to find. This is a great combination of both qualities. I'm going to buy a second set, so my daughter can keep building her 'kingdom.'" —sylvia
