I bought this set of blocks for my two-year-old granddaughter (who is definitely one of those Lake Wobegone children who is "above average," if I do say so myself!) and she LOVES these blocks. So far she has built trains, walls, and the occasional tower. She loves building little "rooms" and stepping in and out of them. And she loves involving her mom and dad in this play.
Large cardboard blocks are some of the best classic, interactive, creative, no-end-to-fun toys ever invented. The large size of the blocks helps a little one feel powerful when they build, and allows them to impact their environment in a very observable way. They are a wonderful way to experiment with space, and to experience autonomy and creation! This set from Melissa and Doug is brighter and prettier than the ones I remember using with my own children, and offer more options because of the three modular sizes included in the set: full size red blocks, half size blue blocks, and quarter size yellow blocks. My only regret is that I didn't buy a LARGER set!
They are also very sturdy, although it's a bit early to tell how long they will hold up. My granddaughter is able to stand on them without warping, and she's not a lightweight.
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.

POSSIBLE LET DOWN: If you don't love putting things together, phone a friend and put it together before giving it to your toddler. IT TAKES FOREVER TO PUT TOGETHER. More like 20 minutes, but still. I absolutely love putting things together, so I had a ball, but if that's not your thing: be warned.
Yet As far as being sturdy,well my son is 29 pounds and stood on 2 of them and they broke. I wouldn't recommend that any other parent allow their children to stand on them.
