Loved it for my purpose!
I can't speak to the entertainment/educational value of this toy. Truth be told I purchased the blocks to spell out my child's name for a maternity photo shoot. I really love the blocks and the fact that you get 50 not just the standard 26. They are a little small so could potentially be a choking hazard for young children but with proper supervision I have no problem with my future child playing with these blocks.

too small, fragile, and not made in America
I bought this name brand of blocks under the assumption that all Melissa and Doug toys are made in America. And wrong I was. The blocks are tiny, cheaply made (in China!) and my almost 2 year old loses interest in them as soon as he dumps them out. He chewed on one for a mere 3 seconds or less and already paint and pieces of wood were in his mouth. Luckily he brought me the pieces to throw away and didn't swallow them!
These blocks are good for one thing though - painful weapons for anyone robbing your house in bare feet! Stepping on them in the dark while going for a drink of water - OUCH!

SMALL. Does NOT have LOWER CASE letters..
We bought these for our 18 month old son, who already knows his CAPITAL alphabet. We bought this set specifically for the lower-case letters,which we saw in the pictures of this product. Woops. I guess the pictures are a comparison between the "mommy and me" set with bigger blocks and this set. These are small (maybe 1" x 1"). Skip these and get the bigger, higher quality "mommy and me" blocks that have capital letters on one side and lower case letters on the opposite side of the same block.

Love these blocks!
These blocks are so cute, my one and two year old have spent hours playing with them already! They build towers, knock 'em down, and are constantly asking what letters or number is on the block. Love these!

ABC Blocks
I expected these blocks to be larger so was disappointed by their size but gave them to our 14-month old grandson for Christmas anyway. He loved them---just the right size for his little hands to pick up, although he wanted to put them in his mouth, too (almost small enough for him to get them IN his mouth, but not quite). Loved to help stack them and then knock them down. Other than size, they were great.
