Cute design but VERY cheap product. $24 for cardboard with wrapping paper glued to each side. Best for storing small pieces in the "boxes." Concept of Russian stacking dolls but NOT of wood or any material that will last. Would be better to send the cardboard boxes, glue and pieces of paper so the kid could glue the pieces to the cardboard and learn that way.
I bought these blocks to replace a set of blocks we were given as a gift. While my toddler enjoyed stacking those other blocks, he was not drawn to the chaotic artwork. I limit the number of toys in my home, and so I was looking for another set which had more appeal and "play-value." As soon as I pulled out this set made by Petit Collage, my toddler was drawn to them. He not only loves stacking them -he likes talking about the colors, the shapes, the numbers, and the simple graphic images of familiar objects such as an apple, a flower, a sun, a moon, a heart, etc...
The other reviewer stated these blocks are not durable -and it's true that they are not heavily laminated in the way other sets of cardboard nesting boxes might be, but they serve their purpose well. They are beautiful and perfect for indoor play!
My toddler and I are enjoying these very much -thank you to Petit Collage for creating such a nicely designed toy.
