User Submitted Melissa & Doug Deluxe 50-piece Wooden ABC/123 Blocks Set Reviews (cont...)Date: 2008-11-02 Melissa & Doug toys made in China These blocks are colorful and have interesting pictures on the sides without letters. The corners are a little sharp when you or your little one steps on them, so keep them out from under your feet. I was surprised to find a big styrofoam filler in the bottom of the package, which I suppose is there to make an appearance of more blocks. I think using styrofoam for that purpose is pretty irresponsible, as it will now be in a landfill until the end of time, not to mention the dangerous chemicals required to make it in the first place. However, my main disappointment with Melissa & Doug toys is that they are made in China. I can't imagine why a company would outsource jobs to China to make simple wooden toys when we have plenty of hard working people and plenty of lumber here. I won't be buying holiday gifts from China this year, so I won't be buying any more Melissa & Doug. Date: 2008-10-30 Good but not great!! My Son who is now 14 months, got this for his 1st birthday. He was bit young for it then but is now more interested in the blocks and the animals on it and can recoginze a few of them. He likes me to build towers which he then proceeds to knock over. He also likes to hide the blocks under whatever he can find. Which makes keeping all the pieces together a challenge. The bag it comes with for storage is realy not that great. It can't fit all the blocks, unless you pack them very nice and neatly, and who has the time for that. Date: 2008-10-23 safe My daughter enjoys playing with the blocks that are the right size for her little hands and I love that they are safe to play with. Date: 2008-10-14 the size is way too small If I would have known (I'm new to this on line shopping) that these were only an inch in diameter i would have never gotten them. How can you stack them which is what my purpose was in buying them? Only after I received them did I want to complain and here I am, I also am returning them unopened. Date: 2008-08-07 I like them I recently purchased these blocks for my 11 month old son. He liked them immediately. The colors are attractive, and he loves to build and stack. I like the fact that they are painted with non-toxic paint-so they're safe for baby if he puts it up to his mouth. The only downside is that they are 1x1 inch square, which is kinda small for a small child-but since either my husband or I are actually playing blocks with him-it's okay. I have watched and I don't think he could actually get one lodged in any way, but I still supervise.
