Melissa & Doug English Alphabet Nesting and Stacking Blocks (LC) | Developmental Toy | Blocks & Building | 2+ | Gift for Boy or Girl

I bought these for my son at 1 year old and even nearly 3, he still loves to play with these. There's lots to explore with the pictures on the side. They have suffered a bit through wear and tear but that's mainly my own fault for stepping on them through being too disorganised and not putting them away properly after use! I would be happy to buy these as a gift for people with young children - a lot of toys are all singing, all dancing, electronic and noisy. In contrast, I love the simplicity and timelessness of this. Children can build towers to their hearts content and explore putting things into others, as well as enjoying the patterns and pictures.

Good quality stacking blocks for reasonable money

When choosing a gift I was trying to remember what my own children had played with as 2 year olds. My youngest (now 8), had these and absolutely loved them! I remember being disappointed that they were cardboard, but they’re pretty robust and daily play including being a carrier for various toys didn’t damage them. My daughter played daily with them for 3 years and we eventually gave them to our local preschool when she outgrew them at age 5! I hope my friends child enjoys them as much. They’re great for language, counting, colours & dexterity skills.

Bright and colourful Childs toy in keeping with the brand. Not quite as sturdy as I had expected and not sure of the longevity of this item compared to other stacking toys of this type. Overall still a nice product which will be enjoyed for its colourfulness and educational aspect.

I loved the concept of these so when my 2 year old got an Amazon voucher for his birthday I immediately chose these. I should have read the description & the reviews first. I didn’t realise they’re made of cardboard, I wouldn’t have bought them if id known. I assumed as they’re designed for 2+ they’d have more sense than to use cardboard as toddlers DESTROY cardboard 🤦🏻‍♀️ In the first 5 minutes of opening it, my son had put edges of some of them in his mouth & damaged them. We’ve only had them two days so far & they’re not flatten yet but we’ll see how long it takes. Definitely overpriced for what it is. I’d expect it to be around the £5 mark.

I purchased these as my 2 year old loves her stacking cups but they don't have much height, so was looking for a toy with a similar concept but bigger!She loves them!! They stack taller than her and are durable (she's a tower toppler...) and they have lovely bright animals and the alphabet on.They nest into one another for storage which saves space - imperative for a toddler toy!

Saw this at a reading club my child goes to and had to buy it! Great for learning alphabet/letter recognition but also for motor skills, imaginative skills (my child builds boats and towers almost daily with it) and it’s fun to knock over.

Great toy that is fun for both my 1 year old and 3 year old.Not sure what the complaints are about it being made of cardboard... It can't be any heavier or they'd be complaining of injuries when it gets knocked down?My 3yr old did try and use some as stepping stones and yes they will collapse if kids do that.I've brought 3 altogether as gifts for 1st birthday presents.
