Alex Jr. First Snaps Building Toy

I am compelled to contact the company, because my 9 month old tore off one of the round end pieces (about the diameter of a nickle)--a huge choking hazard! I am bummed, because my son really enjoys holding these and gumming them; now I will have to only use them during diaper changes, when I can be fully supervising. On my own, I tried to see if they indeed can easily come off, and I simply pulled and wiggled one from side to side, and sure enough: a little rip developed.

I bought these along with the "Pops". The pops are very much like the classic toy, which are hard for toddlers to manipulate. The snaps however, are truly a first building toy for baby. I have thirteen-month-old boy/girl twins and they both enjoy their snaps. They are easy for them to put together and pull apart. They are also fun to put in and take out of the little bucket they come in. My two even enjoy carrying the lid around. They don't make a noise when you're putting them together or pulling them apart, but they do make for a colorful, molecule-looking chain. The individual pieces have little smiley faces on them although they are subtle. I am here to order more we're still working on sharing!

Bought these when my son was about 14 months old. I was looking for something simple and long-lasting, no flashing lights or too-loud music, and this seemed to fit the bill. Three months later, he still enjoys playing with these snap-together shapes, though he hasn't quite figured out how to link them on purpose, so they occasionally frustrate him. However, if I link several together, he enjoys pulling them apart. He's also happy just gnawing on one of the ends to soothe his aching gums. It all adds up to fun for him. I think that once he can snap them together with regularity, he'll enjoy them even more.

For $16, I would have expected better quality. The product is hollow, and you can't attach one connecter piece to every space on another. It has five connections, but only 2 at a time fit. My son doesn't play with this item and he is 9.5 months old.

right now my 8 month old likes to empty things and he loves emptying these snaps out of their container. He loves putting them in his mouth and pushing them around. I spend time teaching the colors and putting them together and pulling them apart. He loves to watch.

They appear durable and are a good size.
