 Great First Block SetSep 10, 2008
By V. Pickens
Our daughter loves these blocks! We started her off using them during dinner time when she was 5 months old. We have her sitting with us at the table. In lieu of food, she has these blocks to play with. (Hopefully working on her grasping skills while she's with the family.) They've held up quite well to all the grabbing, chewing, and throwing off of the table that they've had to go through. We've just started her on solids, so they are now getting washed with every meal and are holding up very well. Like all of the Haba toys we've purchased, these are quality products and I can see they will last for years to come.
Another nice side perk to these blocks is that they match other lines of Haba blocks, so they blend right in with the other sets.

Beautiful, Non-toxic, Good sizeAug 17, 2008
By PhotoMama
These were my daughter's first blocks at 12 months, and it's been a pleasure to see her go from practicing gripping and picking up one block, passing it from one hand to the other, banging the blocks together (makes a great sound! enjoyable for her and muted enough for my ears) to now stacking them as many as 5 or 6 high at 17 months. Also, as far as size, I have never been concerned that my daughter would choke on these. The color stains are a nice mix. I like that they are not all primary colors, and my child is drawn to all of them. My only minor complaint is that the shiny, smooth varnish makes the blocks slide against against each other making it more challenging to stack them. In short, there's not much grip. It's not a serious flaw, and has not prevented my child from getting a lot out of playing with these blocks.

 Baby's First BlocksJan 20, 2008
By S. Lewis
These blocks fit their title and are appropriate for first blocks. They are small enough for my 9 month old to grip easily, and he is attracted to the colors. The colors also seem pretty chip resistant. These blocks get thrown around quite a bit and none of the color has come off.

Absolutely ideal toyOct 10, 2010
By Jennifer Arrow
Baby loves playing with these these (and sucking on them too--he's teething), dad loves playing with these, mom loves the extremely high quality of these blocks, which will obviously last for years, just because they are so well made but because they will be a building block (pun intended) of our toy collection for years to come. The paint is bright and strong, the wood grain and cut edges of the underlying wood is beautiful, and they are clearly excellent blocks.
I'm thinking of buying two more sets, just so we can build bigger towers for the kiddo to knock over.
The picture for this item isn't very good, so FYI, this set has two blocks each of six colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. We expanded the set with the Haba Discovery Blocks--the blocks from both sets are the same size, so it works perfectly.

Good Solid, Safe BlocksMar 18, 2010
By Danielle R Jungst
These blocks are perfect for little one's hands. My baby is seven months old and these blocks are bright, safe, and easy for him to manipulate. I love that I don't have to stress when he puts them in his mouth. Good purchase!
