 Not much play value, and not very durableJun 15, 2008
By Zelda Deutsch
When you receive this toy, the first thing you need to do is inspect them. In the set I ordered, the block with the little ball inside arrived damaged. The dowel which keeps the ball inside was loose, and the ball was able to fall out. This was a serious choking hazard. My daughter would take everything into her mouth, including this ball perfect for choking, had I not caught it. I contacted the store I bought them from, and in a couple of weeks, I received a new block. Just something to be aware of.
I love wooden toys, and try to buy wood instead of plastic whenever possible. Be aware though that wood is sometimes not as durable as plastic. I was washing a bunch of my daughters toys in the sink recently, and had this off to the side because I was only going to wipe it off, since it's wood. Unfortunately one fell in, and after only a few minutes in the sink I had to throw it out. The wood expanded and cracked.
When I bought this toy, I though my daughter would enjoy all the activities these blocks have to offer. Turns out that she didn't pay much attention to it at all. The only one she really paid attention to was the block with the bell. She mostly used these blocks for chewing on, and throwing them over if I stacked them.
I still love the little "discovery" things in each toy, and as she gets older she might play with them more (she's 12 months now). But for the play value this toy has provided up to now, it's a bit overpriced. Regular wood blocks would have served the purpose just as well.

 Beautiful BlocksMay 19, 2007
By Sarah O
I bought these blocks for my son while I was on a business trip in Germany. They are wonderful and perfect for little hands (he was 10 months old). They are very well made. My son loves them, I'll be looking for more HABA products, they are worth the money.

Our baby loves these blocks!Jan 09, 2007
By M. Sanders
"book worm"
These blocks were purchased for our 8 month old's Christmas gift. They are a hit! She really enjoys playing with them and they each have their own beautiful color and sensory offering.
Once again we are very pleased with HABA and their quality toys. Worth every penny!

Great even for 6 month oldsAug 06, 2007
By H. Larson
I bought these blocks for my daughter when she was 5 months old. Out of all her toys, this is one of her favorites. She loves throwing down towers we build with it, and putting them just out of her reach encourages her to crawl. She likes the different colors, and the sounds these blocks make. Even at 6 months, she can easily handle these blocks with one hand, well enough to hold one in each hand - and I think she will enjoy these for months to come.

Basically BrialliantMay 28, 2009
By C. L. Rowe
I'm fortunate enough to live close to a toy store in Germany that carries HABA products and picked these up for my 11 month old. They are basic in a brilliant way and keep my son fascinated and will probably do so for a while yet. Another plus is that they are handcrafted with more natural than man-made materials, so essentially safe of babies to put in their mouths. While HABA products are somewhat expensive (I have spent more that $300 dollars on them) I do not regret a single purchase and I am glad to support handmade craftsmanship (and the healthy development of my son).
