Christmas gift for a 2 year old
When I first purchased these I was very skeptical that they were going to be torn apart and broken for January. Then while putting them together I realized that they were sturdy. Now my 2, 11 & 13 year old all have a ball building them up, knocking them down and throwing them all around my house. Definitely would buy these again before buying the little blocks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have blocks!
Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2018
This blocks are a must have! They are easy to put together once you get the hang of it and have a strong internal structure so they don’t collapse or crush under a child’s weight.

Once I got them set up my daughter immediately started stacking them and enjoyed knocking down the tall towers she made. They’re a great developmental toy that encourages creativity and imagination.

Some reviewers are complaining that this set is kind of small at 24 pieces and while I agree that it would be fun to build big walls and towers with more blocks, very few of us want to store that many huge cardboard blocks! I feel like this is just the right number to be fun but also practical.
