Mega Bloks Disney Pooh Tree House Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After my daughter got an ABC Train, also by Mega Bloks, from Grandma for her birthday, I knew that the Pooh Tree House would make a great Christmas gift. All of the blocks are sturdy and interchangeable, so my daughter builds the house into a massive tower or anything she wants. The blocks are different sizes, shapes, and colors - no more simple squares. The set comes with Pooh, Eyeore and a jar of honey. We also bought the add-on set with another Pooh, plus Tigger, and Piglet. Any toy that encourages imaginative play is a hit with me!

Mega Bloks Dora's Buildable Playground Adventures Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this set for my daughter because she loves to build things and she loves Dora. I had great hopes that she would really enjoy this set. She loved the babies and she loved trying to build the playground, until she could not keep the pieces together. I stepped in to help, and I too had problems trying to keep the blocks together and secure. The square play area that is central to the "playground" kept coming apart. And there aren't all that many pieces to the set, so it has limited options as to how you can construct the playground. After a short while, she became frustrated and bored with the set and has not played with the set since then. She is 3-1/2 years old and is able to put together train sets, Lego's and Lincoln Logs, so it is not for her lack of being able to master the building part of the sets. It's like she is a junior engineer in training. It's just the pieces are not tight fitting and lead to the designs falling apart.
The idea behind the playground is fantastic, because what child doesn't love to be at a playground? But the pieces do not lock together very well, which can lead to a lot of frustration for a child, and they are definitely not as well made as Lego. There are other pieces like the ladder that look like they should attach to something (from looking at the pictures on the box), yet we could not figure out what they attached to, or HOW they attached to something. They did not fit into any of the holes on other pieces.
On the plus side, the slide is very cute, and if you can get it to stay anchored, it is fun to have the babies and Dora slide down it, and the swing is also fun to put the babies in to push them on it. The set does allow your child to be imaginative as they map out play at the park, but if the park does not stay together, it may be a disappointment. We had considered getting the Diego set when we got the Dora set, but decided against it at the time. I will not be getting the Diego set now that I see the blocks don't secure very well, and I am returning the unopened "Cars" sets as well. I am going to go back to Lego, and hope that they come out with Dora or Diego sometime in the future.

Fisher-Price TRIO Fire Station Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My 4 yr old son received this for Christmas 2009. He has the large beginners TRIO set. My son is ahead of most kids in in building/mechanical skills dept.My father in law is an engineer and always marvels at his abilities. That being said my son is a LEGO master. TRIO are nothing like LEGOS. I cannot stress that enough. They remind me of Kinex for younger kids. TRIO not only has small blocks that only snap one way (unlike legos where there are multiple ways to stick them together) they also have these rods that take alot of patience and strength to fit the blocks together. That is the whole selling point of TRIO. That you can build little bugs,fences, and ferris wheels that look a bit more realistic than Legos. And you can.
The TRIO Firefighter set is only an extension of that. It is not really a toy to play with on its own unless your child has and LOVES his TRIO beginner set. It is like when you get a special Lego set. you have to virtually use every piece in the box to make what it is your child is supposed to play with. Again if your child likes TRIO it is ok. I am just not very impressed with TRIO as a whole. My son gets more frustrated than not if he tries to play with them alone. He likes his dad to put things together. He will request "a garage" or something. With Legos he builds himself. Not a great toy to try out if your child has not played with TRIO at perhaps a friends house already.

BRIO Natural Blocks - 50 pcs Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These look like the standard wooden blocks we all grew up with in the online picture, but they are not. These are in fact a miniature version of our old standard blocks - maybe a quarter of the size. Perfect for losing all over the house, and not at all what I had in mind for my little boy. I see now in the online picture that there are no children in the picture with the blocks so that one might be tipped off to the size. If you are looking for little blocks, that's fine, but if you are expecting the old familiar basic chunky wooden blocks, look elsewhere.

PlanToys Build N Roll Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Sadly I purchased this becuase it appeared to be a fairly simple marble-run-like 'game'. Set it up...roll the marble...and watch the fun. While the product is built with pretty heavy duty wood it also slips and slides eaily on most surfaces making setup very difficult. The overlapping track parts tend to fall apart after one or two runs because they are not stable - this was a point of frustration resulting in tears for the target child (7 year old). I held high hopes that perhaps I was not doing something correctly...but in the end we just couldn't pull the enjoyment to give this more than 3 stars.

Goblin Truck Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As are all the previous Habba blocks I purchased this set is adorable, colorful, well made and loved by the little ones. However, there is a problem with this particular set. Even though it states that it is for one year olds a up, there are two very small pieces that I had to put away as they are choking hazards to babies under 3. These pieces either need to permanently be attached, enlarged, or the age range must be changed to over 3.

Daydream Toy - SquashBlox Construction Cushions Builder Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received Squashblox as a gift from a friend. At first, I had trouble putting stuff together, but the kids kept at it and played with them for hours. Once you get the hang of the velcro flaps, it's pretty easy to build some creative stuff. The train accessory was the favorite for my son and he played conductor with his friends. The blocks are well made and fun colors. The structures can be knocked down fairly easily, but then again they are landing in a bunch of cushions so no one gets hurt. And tearing down the creations is part of the fun. The blocks store neatly, although there are many little accessory pieces, so it would be nice if the manufacturer gave a bag to store the pieces in the future so they don't get lost. Overall a fun toy and neat concept I would recommend it to anyone with preschoolers in the house who tear apart the couch.

Melissa & Doug Deluxe 50-piece Wooden ABC/123 Blocks Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Although the recommended age is 2 years, I confirmed with the manufacturer that this age recommendation is for the child's interest/educational sake and not safety related. My ten month old loved the blocks and immediately bagan examining each one, as well as tasting them as everything goes in her month at this age. Within minutes, I noticed she had something in her mouth that she was chewing on. The blocks are made from such soft wood that with a little saliva she was able to scrape wood (and ink) off with her teeth! The ink on the side of the block was already smearing with a little saliva, and as I said she was able to scrape off the wood-- enough to chew on! Needless to say, the toy was taken away from her (much to her dismay). I was very disappointed with the quality of this classic styled old fashioned toy.

Incrediblock Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)UPDATE-- 14 MONTHS OLD NOW AND SHE IS STILL LOVES THE BLOCK, NOW ITS FUN TO PULL THE BLOCKS OUT OF THE STORAGE AND STACK THEM. I BOUGHT ANOTHER ONE FOR MY NEPHEW. ENJOY!
We bought this toy for our 6 month. She was determined that she was going to stand so we thought that we might as well get her something to help her strenghten her legs. Her legs were to short for a walker so we thought that she would enjoy something flashy like this activity block.
Within 48 hours of us playing with this block she was pulling her self up to it with ease- with pillows on all sides of her- in case she fell -of course. She was so proud of herself that she could push the buttons and start the music.
She played with the top of the block constantly when for at least a month and a half. Slowly she is discovering the other sides of the block. I think that it will be a great toy for her for at least 6 more months.
The Block is a little bit expensive but for us it certainly served its purpose. The batteries lasted about 2 months for us.
The only quirky thing that I have to say about this toy is that they should have made a clear cover for the spinning wheel on the top. My daughter kept stopping the wheel with her hand. However we realized that it was "big fun" to put the blocks, balls, a pacifier or anything else that we could find on that spinning wheel to create a merry go round effect.
For our family this toy worked great!

Roll n' Go Construction Train Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)it arrived with chipped paint and i almost sent it back since i was not impressed with the paint job on it. i have purchased other vilac toys where the paint is perfect. not sure what happened with this set. we ended up keeping it and our son loves playing with it daily. he's too young to get the blocks on correctly but he attempts it. he likes pushing it around. i think they should have added a string to make it a pull toy. that would have been a nice addition. despite it being chipped when it arrived it has not had any chipping problems but the paint is very different than the other vilac toys we have purchased.

Fisher-Price Stack 'n Surprise Blocks Songs 'n Smiles Sillytown Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this for our 1 year old and he does sit and play with it. He actually likes the little stack and suprise blocks more then the playset itself. He plays with those all the time and loves shaking them. So if your looking for something less expensive buying the other stack and suprise toys with just the blocks your child will enjoy just as much. He does like lifting the blue shelf and finding the blocks under it. He does like the music the playset makes and when the silly things go up and down. Its kind of diffrent from what is out there so it was worth buying too me.

Baby will love the fun surprises, motorized action and peek-a-boo faces they find exploring this town. 8 surprise action blocks with 1 special vehicle block are included for tons of stacking fun. Baby can bat at the roller on the bridge and be rewarded with a motorized peek-a-boo motion, music and lights. Baby can easily stack blocks on top of the knock down tower, when they press down on the lever the blocks will tumble down in front of baby to music and lights. There is a generous storage bin

LEGO brand Toy Story Woody and Buzz Rescue (7590) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this set and put it together in about fifteen minutes with my daughter. We were very excited when we got the set, because it comes with both a Woody and a Buzz mini figure, as well as the RC Car. After putting it together, the RC car was surprisingly fast, and also incredibly fragile. The slightest mishandling will cause the car to fall apart. Buzz's visor suffers from the same problem. The RC car is also kind of small.
Overall, this is a neat set, though it seems like it should have been a little cheaper. You are basically paying twenty dollars for two mini figures, since the car is going to fall apart so often, you'll probably just leave it alone. This set is recommended to fans of Toy Story, especially since it is the only way to get both Woody and Buzz in one set.

Fisher-Price Little People Build 'n Pull Bus Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this for my son's first birthday and he loved it from the get-go! It has been played with every day! Not only are the blocks easy for a 12-month old to grab and hold, but the bus itself is great to pull along and fill up with the blocks as well as other toys. My son loves to put the blocks in then empty it out and start over. He loved this toy so much, it was the toy he took his first steps towards! This was a great buy!
