My two children as well as my older nephews(as old as 10) like to play with these. They stack very well, even on carpet, and they do not hurt the baby when he crawls over to knock down a tall tower.

Comments about Step2 Soft Sturdy Grand Timber Blocks:

What a great set of blocks. They look like wood however when used against a sister (or the dog)they don't hurt nearly as much as real wood! Also the dog isn't interested in them because they are a foam rather than wood. My only complaint is that the set is small but at this price you could get two sets!

Comments about Step2 Soft Sturdy Grand Timber Blocks:

Nice product, the children played a long time with them
The Net Bag was a great idea but needs to be just a little bigger, after the children put the blocks in the bag they had to keep moving the blocks around to try and zip the bag then they did get it zipped it was snug.

Comments about Step2 Soft Sturdy Grand Timber Blocks:

My twin boys just had their first birthday & I wanted to get them something that would be fun, yet educational, & colorful, yet quiet (we have ENTIRELY too many musical toys!)... These fit the bill perfectly! While the boys are only good at knocking them down and chewing on them at this time, I remember LOVING these type of blocks when I was a little girl (and back then, they were actual wood)... Because I have two rambuctious boys of the same age, I am VERY pleased with the fact that these building blocks are made out of this really dense foam; this makes them quite safe & I don't have to worry about them hurting each other by throwing them or knocking them down (when I stack them up) or gnawing off a piece of a block & chewing on it (I'm telling you- it's DENSE!)... When I first bought them, I thought I might be paying too much- but once they arrived and we've had the time to play with them, I found they are WELL worth the price... I also know that there will be YEARS of use out of them!

These blocks are great for all the kids in my daycare. The little ones want to play as much as the older childeren. We already have 2 sets and I want to get 2 more. It is going to be a great investment, I see these toys lasting a very long time.
