Wonderful for creativity
Date: August 29, 2009
"I got these blocks two days ago. Within minutes my kids had pulled them out, read the directions, and begun assembling them. Total assembly was 15 minutes with three kids working on them. The instructions are clear and easy to understand (most of the blocks don't need instructions at all). They've already figured out how to make canons, keeps, moats, and stable walls out of them. My son has built a castle/throne for his stuffed animals. I may have to get another set to keep up with the plan they have for building things!"

"My two year old sons love to play with these! They took a little while to put together and some of the flaps are popping up but I can easily use clear tape to seal them. We have had a great two weeks of building towers and knocking them down. The price seemed more reasonable than other sites."

Fun shapes/ not very sturdy
Date: December 1, 2009
"It took me quite a while to assemble all the blocks. Because they are lighter in weight than the cardboard blocks I already have, I taped all of the seams with clear book tape. I am using them in a special needs preschool setting and I doubt they will last very long. The kids love all the new shapes and are building much more creative structures with these. For the price, the increase in creativity is worth it. I would love to see the same blocks in strudier cardboard!"

Great product
Date: September 30, 2009
"I've seen these exact bricks on other company websites for much more. This is great for the price. The box it came in was torn, but none of the pieces were ruined. Very easy to assemble and comes with instructions. Sturdy and should hold up well as long as kids don't try to step on them."

"Great purchase and fun for imaginative play. A little tricky to assemble the first of each color, but after that, no problem. Didn't think the directions helped much, but did figure it out."

Good Buy
Date: August 5, 2009
"This was a good buy. They arrived opened and wet because of the rain but the rep was really nice and sent me a new set. Easy to put together and the kids are still playing with it! They are really sturdy and so much fun. They build castles and forts and go thru so much wear and tear! Good buy!"

Great Buy
Date: July 14, 2009
"Definetly worth the price and a durable product. I own and operate a private preschool from my home and I just replaced my original set of bricks that I had bought about 7 years ago. Many kids later and lots of building and imaginations these were tuff and sturdy. I ordered 2 more sets so the creativity can fly!!! Product assembly : have patience and know that you will be putting each one together...True after first shape is figured out for each color the rest are easier to assemble. Discourage children from stepping on them...while constructed good, they can crush, or cave in if jumping or rough housing occurs on them."

Very good building blocks
Date: May 26, 2009
"My son is 2.5 and LOVES these blocks. Light enough for him to stack as high as he can, light enough to not hurt when they inevitably come tumbling down. Decently durable (he does stand on them), but still crushable. All in all, a good purchase for the price, they are what they are - heavy-duty cardboard blocks that are folded. Ships flat, you have to build them yourself, but its not hard, especially after completing the first block or so."

"The assembly was a little more effort than I expected but once it was done, the kids loved playing with the blocks.
Though not as heavy as some others I've seen, they were much less expensive. They will last long enough for my purposes, probably about a year or so."

"As children, my sisters and brothers and I used to play for hours with blocks similar to these. My own boys make the most amazing things. One of their most favorite activities is building a wall that they can hide behind, drive bikes through, or use as a fort. So much fun to use."

Just what I was expecting
Date: January 14, 2009
"The size of the blocks turned out to be just what I was expecting and wanting.
A little difficult to understand the folding instructions, but once I finished one block the rest were much easier."

"These blocks are absolutely fimsy and not worth the money we had to pay to have them shipped to Canada. I have other kinds of similiar ones that are way stronger."
