Skip Hop Funky Farmyard Build a Barn Blocks

Skip, Hop, Build a Barn Blocks could have been a fun toy for younger little ones, but the blocks are simply to large for their smaller hands. Once your little one is able to sit up alone and interact with his toys, the blocks have minimal play value and no educational aspect to warrant a recommendation. By the time he was seven months old, the only thing our grandson found of interest was his ability to knock over the blocks when someone helpfully stacked them up. Otherwise, he ignored these in favor of several Haba items. Because the blocks are relatively large and are not squishy, he had to use both hands to "lift" the blocks. As a child who likes to grasp and manipulate his toys, these did not satisfy his play needs.

The cloth from which these blocks are made is coarsely woven and appears to be an inexpensive percale. The colors used on the sides, piping, and to imprint the animals are not particularly pleasing or vivid. I would not recommend purchasing these for your own infant or for a gift; there are many other items from which to choose.

The little tike we ordered these for seems to like them quite a bit. They're a nice size for picking up, throwing at the cat and chewing on the corners of. Oh, you're supposed to build things with them?

These blocks are really cute and easy on the grown up eye, but have also been one of my baby's favorites. We got them when he was 6 months and he continues to love them at 8 months. He loves knocking them down when stacked, they're good for chewing on, they have some smaller things to grab for fine motor skill development, and the bell sounds are pleasant. I look forward to him learning how to stack them himself!
