Spin & Discover Globe

Spin & Discover GlobeI was very pleasantly surprised by the variety of the audio features. My daughter (2.5 yrs old) enjoys all the settings. Each setting has multiple audio responses for each animal and they are interesting and educational (not just, the animal sounds). Its a good size, bigger than it appears.

My one year old son loves the music. He has not used all of the interactive features yet. For instance, spinning the globe plays music but pushing the animal buttons makes the globe talk. Right now our son just enjoys the music. My only gripe is that the globe tips over easily. If the base were more stable my son could spin it for longer periods without an adult having to sit it upright again when it tips over.

Well there are many flaws but it's generally cute. A good "starter" globe toy. Our daughter is almost 2 and she isn't that interested in it. She'll play with it for a little bit, maybe she'll be more interested when she's a bit older. However it's "fatal flaw" is the on/off button. It's bright green and invites kids to press it, and it's right at eye level sitting on a table. So whenever she doest start playing with she likes to turn it on and off over and over and over and over and over. She laughs and laughs while I go crazy trying to get her to actually play with it lol. I dunno, it's just not everything I thought it would be, I'm keeping it though and hoping she'll grow into it. It's definitely cute.

Bought it for my daughter and she loves it, great sound quality with volume control, it switches off by itself if left unattended for a period of time. I highly recommend it!

I bought two of these for my nephews, both 10 months old. They love to listen to the noises coming from all the various buttons you can push or move. They are too young at this point to understand what is being said, and I'm not sure they've grasped that they can actually make the different noises from the buttons they are pushing but they love it nonetheless. As they grow I think they will learn from playing with it. The only problem for adults is that the main song will get stuck in your head.

Munchkin Twisty Teether Ball, Colors May Vary

Munchkin Twisty Teether Ball, Colors May VaryAs much as my 5mo loves this ball I can't give it any lower than a 5 star review even though there is room for improvement (as I will detail below). The ball has ten different "nubs" on it with different textures around them and my baby LOVES chomping on them. The nubs are each about the width of my thumb which is perfect for him as it is my thumb he would otherwise be chomping on (or his own fist). A drool bib is a good idea to have on babies at this stage as the gnawing on stuff tends to produce a LOT of slobber.

Please note the ball is SURFACE CLEAN ONLY! Because of the twisting apart (where it makes a ratcheting sound that baby likes and isn't too obnoxiously loud like some other toys, it is also a quiet rattle when shaken), water CAN get into it if immersed (doesn't seem to be letting too much drool in though). One reviewer claims that it smells terrible, I have a VERY sensitive nose and ours doesn't smell after about a month of constant use (it is baby's favorite inanimate object, so much so that we just purchased a 2nd one to have one for home and one for car/out & about). A commenter asked another reviewer and didn't get a response yes, it is made in China.

As for improvement, one annoying thing is that there is no way to secure it to prevent it from hitting the floor when baby drops it (which babies love to do even when they DO have coordination enough to hold onto something). I solved this personally by putting a small hair elastic around it(fits between the ratchety part and the nubs so it still twists), then using various things such as pacifier clips and link rings through that to secure it to baby carrier or high chair at a restaurant. Having a way to tether the thing with those linking rings would be a MAJOR improvement IMO and could be achieved by redoing the mold so that one (or two) of the nubs has a hole through it that a holder can go through. It could also be improved by having some gel inside to stay cold after being in the fridge could be cool to even just have that in SOME of the nubs instead of all of them as I bet babies would LOVE to compare the different temperatures in their mouths (and that also lets parents know if it's worth keeping it in the fridge, if baby doesn't seem to prefer the cold nubs over the regular ones). If there was a way to allow it to come apart so it COULD be immersed and washed thoroughly that would also be an improvement particularly for the more germphobic among us. I get around this myself by only immersing it half at a time and being careful not to get the center split into the water, surface-cleaning that part afterward, but I'd love to be able to like press-and-twist like a pill bottle to get it to open and be able to drop it into a dishwasher or at least a dishbin of soapy water. I wouldn't trade the ratcheting sound and such for that, though, as my son gets a lot of enjoyment from that. If that is particularly a big issue for you, it seems there are other one-piece products on the market that may suit you better.

Oh, and we call ours "the Nom Ball" (as in nom-nom-nom current parlance for the act of chewing on something). It's the for-nomin'-on in our house (say it fast, it's a very bad pun)

This teether looks better live, it's well designed and the colors are much brighter than what's shown in the picture. When you twist it, it makes a cool clicking sound. I know my baby would have loved this toy, but the reason I didn't give it to her was that the one I received had what appeared to be dried crusty glue around the seams that would not wash off no matter how hard I scrubbed. I can't possibly give this to my baby to put in her mouth. Too bad. The cost of this item doesn't justify paying postage to return it, so maybe I'll let my daughter play with it when she stops putting everything in her mouth.

Don't buy this toy. It smells toxic like a dead animal. I even tried to clean it with soap and water to no avail. I can't imagine giving this to my twin girls. I throw it in the trash where it belongs.

We received this one as a gift. Our daughter loved it but I was leery b/c of the bad plastic smell it had. It isn't listed as bpa-free so I decided it wasn't worth keeping and opted for safer options.

If your baby is in the stage of trying to crush your knuckles with his gums, this teether is the one for him. Easy for baby to hold. Not as easy for baby to smack you with as with other teethers. Not so big that baby smacks himself, either. I think baby will like this teether best.

Rosella Clutching toy

Rosella Clutching toyHABA is a WONDERFUL company. We have had excellent customer service where they have gone above and beyond our expectations. We would highly recommend supporting this company based on our experiences with their staff and their well crafted products!

Rosella is a small toy, perfect for baby hands. My daughter loves to shake and rattle everything to hear the noises made. This toy does not disappoint. Our daughter is 12 months old and her attention is captivated by Rosella.

Our children loved this toy. It apparently tastes great! And provides lots of entertainment. It can be used by adults in "puppet" shows. It makes noise thanks to it's "hands" with rattled about. Definately recommend this for babies looking to mouth something :) It was so good, we've since bought many more of them (or their similar versions there's mouse, and other characters) for our friends' and familys' babies.

Buy Rosella Clutching toy Now

Let me start by saying we own TONS of HABA toys, and we love them. I consider them to be heirloom quality--they are made in Germany--NOT China, and they are so well made.

Rosella The Clutching Toy is made very well--but--in my opinion with a MAJOR DESIGN FLAW. The arms are made of string, and at the end have small balls attached. The string may be thick, but I fear it could be a choking hazzard if a child bites through them, and in turn possibly choke on the small balls.

At first I allowed my daughter to play with this, and sure enough, the first thing that went in her mouth were the little balls at the end. After only a couple of days, and tons of worry, with that gnawing feeling of: this toy is not safe, I took it from her pile of toys. Now, it has become a decoration on a shelf!!

Keep your piece of mind, and don't buy this!!

By the way, a great toy made by HABA that my daughter loves is the "Flower Trio Clutching Toy" It's pretty and doesn't seem to have any possible choking hazzards.

It's a cute toy and my son is entertained while I make his breakfastlikes to spin the animals and the whole spinner part. However it gets 3 stars off bc it has poor suction. I really stick it good but it doesn't stay. My 4 month son is able to pull off... with his own hands and just playing with it the toy comes unstuck. Every morning while making breakfast at least once I will be either 1) picking it up off the floor or 2) having to restick it bc he is waving it around (and its bigger than his rattle balland harderalready 1 incident where he hit himself in the facethankfully not hard enough to cry but I can see where a baby could end up wacking their self pretty good). When it is stuck he enjoys itI am looking for a toy with better suction tho.

Fisher Price Nesting Action Vehicles

Fisher Price Nesting Action VehiclesThis is a wonderful toy that is fun, educational, and affordable! The cars are different colors, and each has a different number, 1 4, to help a child learn counting and colors. They also stack on top of each other and nest inside of each other.(The nesting feature is great for storage too). Each car has a neat fun feature for little ones to explore (e.g., the small car is also a rattle, the large fire truck's ladder moves, etc.) The cars are also very sturdy (as has been proven by my son repeatedly banging them together,) and they are easy for little hands to grab onto. At 6 months of age, my son really enjoys looking at the toys, passing them from one hand to the other, banging them together, and, of course, putting them in his mouth. I imagine this toy will remain one of my son's favorites as he learns to stack them and roll them on the floor. I would highly recommend this item.

My son got these cars when he was about 10 months old. He is now 20 months old and still loves to play with them just as much as when he first got them! They teach so many things! At first he just liked to push them around. Then he soon realized that they could "hide" in one another. A couple of months ago he found out that they could stack on top of one another. When he was about a year old, I started to show him that the cars have numbers on them, so now when I say "Bring mommie the number 2 police car", he runs over and gets it! About a month ago he started working on holding more than one car in each hand, which is possible if he gets his little fingers in the holes in the top of the cars! He also loves to face them all the same way, end to end according to size! All in all he still plays with them for hours on end!

Buy Fisher Price Nesting Action Vehicles Now

I recently bought this toy set for my 15 month-old grandson, and he just loves playing with it, in so many different ways. He loves to roll them around and especially likes snapping the fire truck's ladder up and down. He thinks it's great when I put them all together, then gradually remove each car, revealing the slightly smaller one nested inside. He also loves it when I stack them on top of one another, then he knocks them down.

He is having a wonderful time trying to figure out how to nest them and stack them himself. They even hold up well to his favorite thing to do with most everything--pounding! I'm sure he'll find many more ways to play with them before long! I certainly think they're worth the small amount I paid for them.

I bought these for my 1 1/2 year old, and he loves them (and so does his 5-year old brother). They both stack the cars, hide them and "vrroomm" them. It is great to find a toy that doesn't need batteries or require an engineering degree to put together!

Highly recommended.

My son loves this stacking toy. It is much more fun than the stackable rings toy even though he does have that one too. All the boys at our baby group have it and the babies who don't always come up to see what it is all about! You can't go wrong with this purchase.

Little People Floaty Boat

Little People Floaty BoatBought the boat as a pool toy and now has moved to the tub.The boat has a hard time floating. Add one Little person and a bit of water, the boat will sink. My son still loves it and has played with it for a year. Longer than most other toys. I think the sinking thing bothers the parents more than the kids.

My 18 month old daughter was very excited when we brought this home, but it quickly became a least favorite toy. It is cute, but only floats if you don't touch it (silly me to think a water toy should be able to float). The flip cabin is a useless feature. The hook on the end is frustrating for little hands and most often used to tip over the boat. A poorly designed toy that gets little playtime in or out of the bath.

Buy Little People Floaty Boat Now

My two and a half yr old LOVES this toy! It DOES float in the tub (or pool). He likes all the little pieces that go with it. And other FP "Little People" also fit. Even after being left outsideit washed clean really well. Makes a great wet or dry toy!

We also got ours from the Pampers promotion, and we really enjoy ours. I can't understand why everyone says it doesn't float, because I haven't had any problem with mine. However, if it gets very full of water it does tip. The boat is very cute, and the knob that is used to flip the deck is just right for little hands. I like the person, and the ring, the only thing I dislike is the fish that come with it. They seemed to "squash", and Hannah liked to put them in her mouth. If we hadn't received ours for free I would have bought it anyway. I think all the Fisher-Price things are well-made, so judge for yourself.

This is a fun bath toy. My daughter loves to play with it. It does not float as well as some bath toys I've seen, but my 15 month old doesn't care. Half the fun is sinking it anyway.

Fisher-Price Discover 'n Grow Push 'N See Kaleidoscope

Fisher-Price Discover 'n Grow Push 'N See Kaleidoscope, GiraffeMy husband bought this for my 5.5 month-old son. Although my son hasn't completely figured it out yet, his face just lit up the first time he pushed the handle down. And he played with this for more than an hour at his first try. That alone was worth the money since he usually only plays with a toy for a few seconds. I highly recommend this (although the laugh is a little bit evil).

Pros: Easy to use at around 6 months

Six other babies have played with this toy and they all loved it too

The ears are just the right size for teething babies

Cons: A little large

The laugh is evil and annoying

Update: This, like all battery-operated children's toys, needs an off switch. Not only does my baby love this, but so does my dog. Now we hear an evil laugh coming from the next room, both day and night, because the dog has figured out how to push the handle down with his nose.

super cute toy...baby even dances the the little sounds it makes. got it when she was 9 months old, she is able to pull the tail and make it go all on her own...easy to use

Crayola Beginnings Baby Rainbow Tower

Crayola Beginnings Baby Rainbow TowerI bought this for my 6 month old last year for Christmas. While it was not played with much I left it in the toy box because my 2 year old used the domes to play with other things. It's been about 11 months so my now 17 month old brings over the base and it has peeling green paint! I can't even touch where it's peeling with out it flaking off. I made sure to get rid of it right away. I would not recommend this item to any one especially those with small children who chew on everything!

Looked forever for it to replace one I gave away. The new one does not work properly. I was very disapointed in it.

Buy Crayola Beginnings Baby Rainbow Tower Now

Although this toy seems very simple, both of my children (now 2 1/2 and 14 months) have LOVED it! So much so that I'm ordering one for a friend's baby for Christmas. My kids have spent hours with this toy over the last few years. From the time my kids could sit up and grab things (7-8 months?) they really liked playing with this toy with my help, of course! The box states that it is great to encourage child/parent interaction. As they've grown, though both of my kids will play with it independently now, or with my help, stacking and restacking the levels in different ways. This toy is always "on top" of the toybox because it is used so much. I like it because the music is quiet and it encourages a higher level of thinking on the childs part; this isn't just a push the button and it makes noise kind of toy.

Read Best Reviews of Crayola Beginnings Baby Rainbow Tower Here

The box says 6m+. Well, that is not true. The only correct part is the +. As someone else mention, it is lame. True, the light is supposed to shine through and make the cups change color. False that it actually does this.

Also, the child has to have better dexterity and hand-eye coordination than a 6 month old has in order to appreciate this some what.It is super hard to stack if you're six months old. The grooves are very precise and it only plays a tiny bit of music when you put the cups into the narrow grooves. Once the baby knocks over the stack of cups, nothing happens and then she can't put it together herself.

It's boring, not as advertised, and frankly, not age appropriate according to box. Maybe when she's older ...

Buy something else!

Want Crayola Beginnings Baby Rainbow Tower Discount?

If I was writing this review based on my own thoughts, I would give it a 1 star. It's dumb, plays only a short tune and the whole "tower" doesn't light up when the cups are stacked.

However, since this toy isn't for me, my opinion doesn't count for much, except to say it is very durable and has withstood multiple children fighting over it.

My 11 month old absolutely loves this toy. He loves to stack it, he likes the sound it makes, and likes that the lights blink. It's not a fluke either we regularly have his playgroup friends over and this toy gets played with the most.

Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Smilin' Smart Phone

Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Smilin' Smart PhoneMy 7 mo old daughter absolutely LOVES this phone. She was obsessed with my phone so I got her the only toy smart phone on the market. It is a little bulky and is more like a Zack Morris phone than a smart phone. That being said it keeps her entertained and every kid that she comes in to contact with can't wait to get their hands on it. Yes the volume is really low, but if you hold it to your ear (like a REAL phone) the sound is very clear.

I almost passed up on this one because of so many bad reviews. I am so glad that I decided to get it anyway. Great buy!!!

My daughter has several play phones and this is her favorite, one because it looks the closest to mommy and daddy's phones but she loves all the songs it plays. The sound is very low but I love that because she holds it up to her ear all of the time and it is not going to hurt her hearing. Plus, with the volume being low it doesn't drive mommy crazy when she keeps pushing the buttons over and over again.

We bought this toy for our daughter's 1st birthday. She loves it. The volume isn't very loud which is good becuase she always putting it up to her as if she is calling someone. Very durable. It is a little bit more bulky than I expected so it can be hard for her to hold sometimes.

North American Bear Baby Cozies - Circus Cozy Elephant

North American Bear Baby Cozies - Circus Cozy ElephantWe were given one of these as a gift. Our baby loved it as soon as she learned to grasp. And she has slept with it every night since.

We have had to order two more because we have to wash them pretty frequently and needed to have a fresh one always ready.

The trunk and the tail of the elephant specifically are good for teething, and they've held up well in the wash.

If we're blessed with another baby ever, we'll get another "cozy" lovey from this brand, but this green elephant will always have a special place in the memories of our first born sleeping soundly at night.

My 2 year old was given one of these loveys when he was an infant, and he's had it with him ever since. I bought this one for my newborn, and now at three months, he's starting to reach for it and love it, just like his older brother did. It's so soft and can hold up to many, many washings. There are so many types of loveys to choose from too, so please give it a shot. Just make sure you buy more than one, as they can be easily misplaced and/or get very dirty. You should always have a backup on hand, just in case.

Buy North American Bear Baby Cozies - Circus Cozy Elephant Now

We currently own three of these cute little elephants. Over the 2 years of my daughter's life, we've owned and lost a couple additional ones. They have all received a lot of abuse (chewing, sucking, stomping, washing, etc.) as you'd expect from something like this. They've each held up extremely well no stitches have come loose; no fading has happened; they clean up easily; etc. Like other reviewers, we keep ours in constant circulation. After she received this as a gift and became extremely attached to it, I was delighted that I could get replacements. She can definitely tell if it's a clean version or a dirty version, so we involve her in giving it a "bath" in the washing machine (subbing a clean, dry one after the old, disgusting one is dropped in the wash). This is a wonderful toy that has a hugely positive place in my daughter's life. She loves it so much that I just bought the bear version for her little brother. We'll see if he loves it as much.

Read Best Reviews of North American Bear Baby Cozies - Circus Cozy Elephant Here

This was purchased for our newest baby. It is easy for him to grab onto (the ears, trunk, legs/arms, and tail all invite little hands to hold), it is very soft and doesn't irritate delicate skin, it soaks up drool and then can get tossed right in the washing machine. I would advise buying two so that there is one to wash and one to hold. We have only had it for a few months, so I can't comment on the long-term durability, but it seems to be well put together. As far as "educational" goes it doesn't need batteries, it doesn't have a grating mechanical voice that keeps yowling at the child long after they've moved on to something else, it isn't a "character" toy (and therefore can have lots of roles in imaginary play when the child is old enough to do so...instead of, for example, Cookie Monster play only involves saying "Me want cookie!"), it is soft and warm instead of cold and plastic... so it is a perfect toy for babies-young children.

Autolino Wooden Pull Toy

Autolino Wooden Pull ToyI got this toy for my little one's first birthday. It's taken some abuse and held up really well. Selecta toys are excellent, high quality wood work with non toxic finishes that a type-A mom doesn't mind letting her baby chew on. A lot of the other European toy brands are actually made in China, but this one's made in Germany.

When you pull this toy along, the little driver of the car wobbles from side to side because of the uneven wheels and there's also a bell that rings. It's smaller than you might expect, but for a toddler it's the right size.

My son loves this toy! Great for development. Its bright colors and bell hat keep him interested.

Green Sprouts Teething Keys

green sprouts Teether KeysGreat Product! These are a TON safer than any other teething keys out there. I have purchased these along with the soother and stacking cups. I am very impressed with the product! My child is only 4 months old and teething and this is so far his favorite thing to chew on. UPDATE-Child is 10 months old and still chews on these and they have held up even with 8 teeth now!!!

I would not recommend this product because as our 6 month old son chews on this teether (the whole point of the product), pieces of the material come off. I respect the intention of this company and product in trying to be green so please improve this part as this is the most important.

We replaced some other plastic keys with these because we weren't sure that the ones we had were safe. To our surprise, our 6 month old baby much preferred these. The other ones were all one hard material while these have a softer chewier part at the tips of the keys that our baby loves to chew on. Not sure that they really ease his teething pain, but they are now one of his favorite toys.

This was a gift. I applaud Green Sprouts for their good intentions, but it only took me 5 seconds to see the keys were Made in China. Seriously? I cannot fathom how parents ignore the fact this is basically a food item. This is going into your child's mouth. I simply won't take the chance on potentially, shoddy Standards & Practices of another country. Any 'bad chemical(s)' that may have been unintentionally/intentionally introduced into the product, --will-leach out over time, into your child's body.

iPlay is Green Sprouts parent company.

Hey iPlay, I will willingly pay the $3.33 extra to buy BPA/Phthalate/Nitrosamine free Teether Keys made in the US (where ASTM Standards and Methods/OSHA are complied with and verified by law).

I got the Ring Cool Soother Teether, Teether Keys, and Infinity Teether. Notice a pattern here? Yes, we are knee deep into teething season around here. She had all 3 of these teethers before I went on my "let's go eco-friendly and therefore safe" kick. I replaced them all with the Green Sprouts eco-friendly brand and am not disappointed. They all boast PVC, BPA, and Phalate-free. They are made in China.

My daughter loves these, even more than the bold primary colored ones she had before by "The First Years" company. They're bigger and easier to hold on to. They also have different raised patterns that stimulate her gums while she's chewing on them. They're probably her favorite toy, so that gives them a "10" in my book!

Fisher-Price On-the-Go Gift Setgood product. good plastic quality, and for the kids it is a good game. 3 products for this price is so good

This is based only the "car" toy in this trio. I purchased this at a big name baby store on impulse for my teething baby. He liked it well enough, however, the first time it hit the floor one of the wheels fell off, and it was the wheel that made the noise. Since he was interested only in the broken wheel we had to toss it as the wheel alone is a choking hazard. Good idea; nice colors; responsive to shaking/actions; poor construction.

Infantino: Monkey & Elephant Wrist Rattles

Infantino: Monkey & Elephant Wrist RattlesBought these for my 3 month old grandaughter. Specifically I was looking for wrist rattles with an elephant's face. She is teething and enjoys chewing on the nose as it is firm enough but doesn't taste of plastic. So far it is holding up just fine. The gentle rattle sound is just loud enough that she is reminded that it is there, but not startled by accidental movement when she is soothing herself.

I agree with the other reviewer here that the low rattle sound that it makes doesn't really get the baby interested.

Also after 3-4 months (my baby is now 6 months old), the lower part or chin part of the elephant rattle...the stitching came off. Therefore the cotton or whatever material is inside is now showing and coming out. I won't give it to the baby again because baby might choke on this fiber fill or cotton filler.

Couldn't get the baby interested in these wrist rattles as they are too quiet. They are cute and seem to be well made but the low sound renders them unusable. Great return policy at Amazon so was able to get my money back.

These are excellent wrist rattles. With these rattles kids can't throw them on the ground every two minutes so they're entertaining without causing parents to pick them up all the time. The animals are very cute and give kids something to chew on as well as shake. This is great for kids who love to crawl, roll, or toddle around since they'll enjoy the noise as they're moving around. And if your little one likes these you may want to check out Infantino Foot Rattles as well.

Music & Lights Sit 'n Spin Rockin' Tunes (colors vary)

Music & Lights Sit 'n Spin Rockin' TunesI recently purchased this toy for my daughter's third birthday. She has played with a regular sit'n spin in our church nursery for several months. The toy in our nursery has "survived" its original owner and many other children for several years. However, after only two days of play, the music & lights sit'n spin we purchased broke apart. The handle the child turns the sit'n spin by came out of the base while my daughter was riding. Though this toy is a great amount of fun for kids, the construction of this newer model does not appear to be as durable of the original model. If construction is not altered, perhaps the age guidelines should be readjusted to exclude older children.

We bought this toy for our toddler for Christmas, and she hasn't gotten it yet, but one of her friends has it and they fight over it. Her friend can't be still for more than 10 minutes, but will play on this for hours. It plays 9 different songs, and does the traditional sit and spin rotation. I think it is better than the old sit and spin.

I have an almost 3 year old and he had played with this toy at daycare so when I seen it here, I had to buy it.It is very durable and the musical sounds on it add to the fun of the toy.I highly recommend it if you have a 2-4 year old.My son can't stay off of it.

My parents bought this for my 3 yr old son. We put it together and sat him on it. At first, we were all very irritated because it didn't spin well at all and looked like the 'wheel' would break right off. Then, the adults got a clue and took his off the thick carpet and onto to tile in the kitchen. He went to town on that thing and laughed until he fell off. Here's my dilemma; the tile is VERY hard. I'd recommend this toy, but you have to find the right surface for smaller children. Not too thick to frustrate them, and not too hard if they fall off from dizziness.

My 1 yr old son loves to stand on the carpet and push the song button. He holds onto the toy and dances like crazy. So, it fits a desire for both my 3 and 1 yr old.

I got this for my daughter when she was about 18 months old, and she LOVES it still, five months later. She's an old pro now, can go so fast that she doesn't even need me to help. At first when she couldn't go fast enough herself, I would help her, but she learned to FLY within a month! I like the music aspect of it too, it makes it like two toys in one.

Haba Zoolino blocks

Haba Zoolino blocksThese blocks are beautifully crafted, heirloom quality, and will last generations. Although expensive, you get what you pay for. Edges are slightly rounded, paint colors are bright and the finish is tough and durable. The patterns and colors engage my 18 month old grand-daughter in gleeful play. The animal theme is of interest to her and she loves playing with the various animal blocks. We name the animals and make the appropriate animal sounds. I purchased all three sets of Zoolino: Mini, Maxi and Zoolino. HABA is one of my favorite brands. I can always count on HABA's quality, beautiful craftsmanship, engaging designs and educational value. would recommend this product.
