Blocks were not even two weeks old when they started falling apart. Choking and splinter hazzard.

Was very excited about this product but it came damaged!!!! :( I have many other Melissa & Doug items from puppets and puzzles to play food. I've purchased high quality wooden toys since my 3-year-old was a few months old but this item was not as expected. About 10 of the blocks came chipped in a weird, ill looking way. Like the edges were discolored, cracked, and almost looked rotten. These are so unsightly I will not use them and many other blocks came with small cracks that are just a disappointment... I may have received a bad batch but for the price it's not okay. I will think twice before purchasing Melissa & Doug products online. The blocks are small so having one third of them come damaged makes building more limited.

Reviewed in the United States on 29 June 2016
We bought this for Christmas for our baby. He's 10 months old now, and he just LOVES this set. His 10 year old brother and their dad play a game with it. They stack block towers and the baby squeals and crawls over to knock them down. Everyone has a blast. They've held up really well to being put in a drooly baby mouth. They're not small enough to easily be swallowed, but I only let the baby play with the smaller pieces while being supervised. The semicircles and small triangle pieces are still a little small and I think a very determined baby could wedge them in their mouth enough to upset themselves. The rule of thumb for choking hazards (according to our son's pediatrician) is that if it fits in a toilet paper roll, it's a possibility they can choke on it. I took a photo to show that all the pieces can fit in a TP roll, but as long as you're supervising there shouldn't be any issue. We love this block set, and would definitely buy it for others with little ones.
