Oversized Waffle Grid Building Blocks Set, 32-Piece Set | 12x12 Inch Design, Easy-to-Use Building Toys for Toddlers and Kids, Ages 18 Months to 5 Years, 10 Year Assurance

I just bought these for my 7 year old. Felt the 32 piece wasn't enough, but the 48 piece one at least lets a child build a house or another structure without falling short of pieces. The pieces are about a foot square, sturdy enough to take even an adult's weight, look waterproof (as they're air-filled) so kids can play with them outside. They need a little strength to interlock, so I am not sure they're suitable to kids under 2 or even 3. They interlock well to form floors, walls which are quite sturdy. The triangle pieces help you build sloped roofs. I just built a house for my kid. I love this toy because it should teach kids the ability to build structures of different types which they can interact with. Like Lego, but at a human (kid) scale.

Fun but a little too hard for kids to put together themselves

I grew up with the little tykes version of these, and I was planning on getting those for my kids but they were much more expensive and they wouldn't ship to the island we live on in Alaska. Anyway, so I bought the 48 piece set and they are smaller than the ones I remember (or maybe I got bigger...hmm...lol) We can make a full house that all four of my kids (ages 8, 7, 3, and 15 months) can squeeze into, but not with much wiggle room! My husband built them their own individual "beds" to sleep in Christmas night. These are a lot of fun, but I will be saving up to buy another set So we can make bigger structures. I disagree with other reviewers on them being hard to put together, my 8 & 7 year olds can build with them just fine, and the 3 year old has mastered the art as well, but I wouldn't think a baby should need to know how to put them together. The tight fit makes it possible to make stairs that the kids can actually climb on without the structure collapsing! I highly recommend buying these for creative and energetic children, they are great.

Great quality, large blocks. Good for outdoor toys.

The reason I don't give this five star is, well, they're expensive Nd also I want you to know, they Can be dangerous! If a kid throws this at another kid they will get bruised. These are very heavy and I needed a hammer to help my kids put these together! If you eant then ti connect realky well its hars work. If its not clicked together well their structure will be flimsy. Also if you stack these up against a wall or somewhere and the stack falls onto a child OMG this can be dangerous.They are very heavy. For my seven year old it's fine,even if they're playing with a younger kid,okay but it does need supervision. A five year old on their own? Impossible. Id say four and up with help of an adult.if your ready to supervise and lend a hand here and there it can be a fun toy. I ordered the biggest set of these with the 48 pcs, because less then that I felt wouldn't be enough pieces for 2 kids to make something big enough for them to go into like a boat or house! When they do get their little boat or garden up and my seven and five year old sit in and bring their dolls it's fun! I enjoy watching that! The 48 pc box is what I store them in don't destroy the box and make sure u have storage room for such a big box check msrmnts

They are very difficult to put together and take apart, I’m hoping with use they will wear in and be easier to go together, my 8 year old can just barely get them together on her own.

I bought this set for my daycare and they love it. In fact I just ordered a second set today. They are a little snug to get together and our preschoolers need help, but I am sure with time they will pop together easier. When they first arrived, I sat looking at them thinking where and how the heck am I going to store these, especially if I order a second set. My assistant came up with the bright idea of creating a box using the blocks themselves. Oh my goodness, it worked perfect. We made a square box then placed the pieces inside the box vertically, side by side. The colors are bright, they pieces are sturdy and the fun is endless. We have built tunnels, puppy houses, play houses, roads, forts, etc.

Great gift for my 1 and 3 yr old grandchildren. They love to create roads and houses. I thought the blocks would be larger but that's ok. I would recommend to others.
