Review: Pleasantly Surprised For The Value - Having two kids of my own (6yo & 9mo) and running a family childcare out of my home I had been shopping around for a good deal on some large unit blocks and came across the M&D set. I read review after review thinking that the blocks must be smaller than a typical set seen in schools. For the money I figured that it would still be a steal even if the blocks were smaller than what I was looking for and would work for us temporarily until I could find a set of typical sized blocks. I still did as reviewers suggested and bought two sets and once they arrived I was pleasantly surprised that they are deffinetely the size that I was looking for. They are sturdy and smooth and of good quality. I did detect the odor that a couple of other reviewers mentioned however we've had the blocks four days now and there is no odor anymore. I have a mixed age group in my daycare home (9mo, 23mo, (2)2yo's, 3yo, 4yo, 6yo & 9yo) and I'm also pleased that the blocks are a big hit and the kids all love them, even the 9yo. Being a new toy some the littlest ones have managed to launch or drop them across the room and onto our tile floor or used them to walk across them and the blocks have so far held up very nicely and after inspecting the blocks after their unfortunate flight I haven't noticed any dents or scuffing. My 9mo son managed to steal a block from one of the kids and of course he immediately began mouthing it and working it with his two teeth. After being alerted by the squealing children that the baby was "sliming" the block and chewing on it I removed the block and inspected it and the only evidence of gnawing was the wet spot where he "slimed". I am so pleased with the two sets that I bought that I doubt I will continue to look for a "better" set and I will in fact be keeping these instead. I'm extremely happy with my purchase and the quality is much, MUCH better than I had thought based on the price. It's deffinetely a great deal for the money and not "you get what you pay for". I do have one minor complaint about the product. Each set only comes with two really long blocks 11" long and only four 5 1/2" blocks. I have 2 sets and these 12 blocks are the most prized blocks for my little builders so they have to build one structure together and aren't really able to build alone if there is more than one child or they will argue over the blocks. Granted I usually have 4 or 5 kids playing with the block set at once and I think I can purchase another set or two to help relieve the issue however I am worried that if I do that the rest of the blocks in the sets won't be played with (the squares, pillars, triangles and arches). Other than that minor flaw I would highly recommend these blocks.
Review: Endless Creative Play – Worth Every Penny! - As a mom of four young kids (ages 3 to 8), I’m always on the lookout for toys that are durable, open-ended, and can grow with them—and these Melissa & Doug wooden blocks absolutely deliver. I bought two sets so all four of my kids could build and play together without fighting over pieces, and I’m so glad I did. The quality is fantastic—solid wood, smooth edges, and a classic feel that reminds me of the toys I played with growing up. The blocks come in a sturdy wooden tray for storage, which helps keep things somewhat organized (as much as possible with kids!). The variety of shapes makes it easy for my kids to create everything from castles and towers to roads and cities for their cars and figurines. What I love most is how these blocks encourage creative thinking, teamwork, and problem-solving. All four of my kids—yes, even the toddler—will sit and play for long stretches of time. It’s a quiet, screen-free activity that never gets old. If you’re on the fence, just go for it. One set is great, but if you have multiple kids like I do, getting two was totally worth it. These are the kind of toys that will be around for years!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I purchases the 60 picec set, but there was no instruction in the package.  Can I download it somewhere?**
A: There are no instructions. There isn't a set design to build. Let your child's imagination run wild and he/she will amaze you with what he/she can create.

**Q: are these unfinished wood (preferable) or do they have some sort of laquer or finish on them?**
A: They seem to be smooth, but unfinished.....no lacquer finish

**Q: what are the block size?**
A: The square block is 2 3/4 inches by 2 3/4 inches and 1 5/8 inches thick.  The rectangle block is 2 3/4 inches by 5 1/2 inches and 1 5/8 inches thick .  All the rest can be figured out from there. They are a nice size block made of heavy wood.  Not light and scrawny like other children's blocks I have seen. These will last forever! You will be passing these blocks down to your grandchildren and beyond...

**Q: are the children in the picture playing with the 60 piece set or do they have more?**
A: I'd say they may have a few more, but there are a really good amount to build with in 6o. The photo looks like there is a large flat one on top in the back, which I don't have, so there may be extras in the photo. If you start to count them you can see there are approx. 60-70 in the photo. They are wonderful, and bigger than I expected. Hefty.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Testimony to Timelessness
*by L***M on December 13, 2023*

I purchased the Melissa & Doug Standard Unit Solid-Wood Building Blocks approximately seven years ago for my older son, and they have truly stood the test of time. These blocks have been a source of endless joy and learning for both of my children, making them a cherished part of our family playtime. The quality of these wooden blocks is exceptional. Even after years of enthusiastic play, they remain in impeccable condition. The craftsmanship is evident in the smooth finish and consistent sizing, which allows for stable and creative constructions. The durability is particularly noteworthy; these blocks have been dropped, stacked, and knocked over countless times, yet they show no signs of wear or damage. The versatility of the set is another standout feature. The uniform size and shape of the blocks encourage precision and balance, making them ideal for constructing various structures. The wooden storage tray adds a practical touch, promoting organization and providing an easy way to keep the play area tidy. What sets these blocks apart is their ability to engage children in open-ended play. My kids have used them to build towers, bridges, and even imaginative structures that defy gravity. The simplicity of the blocks sparks creativity, and the lack of predetermined outcomes allows for limitless exploration. As a parent who values educational toys that withstand the rigors of play, I highly recommend the Melissa & Doug Standard Unit Solid-Wood Building Blocks. This set has been a staple in our playroom, offering timeless joy and learning opportunities for both my older son and his younger sibling. It's an investment in quality and durability that continues to pay off year after year. If you're looking for a gift that transcends trends and fosters lasting memories, these blocks are an excellent choice.
