Fisher-Price Baby's First Blocks

I purchased these blocks for my 7 month old grandson. I'm so glad I did! He loved them & played with them more than any other gift he received. I had read the reviews where some people didn't like the fact that the lid didn't snap on tightly & was easily removed. That didn't seem to be a problem as he enjoyed removing the lid as part of his play. He hasn't figured out the idea of inserting the pieces into the correct holes yet, but he certainly enjoys dumping them, holding them & banging them together. The colors are bright & fun, the entire toy is solid yet light enough for him to handle. And it's Fisher-Price, a great product at an awesome price. A must have for beginning toys as far as this grandma is concerned!

I bought this for my 7 month old. He enjoys playing with the pieces, even if he's not quite gotten the hang of placing the appropriate shapes into the corresponding openings. This toy serves multiple purposes, from developing coordination and spatial recognition to learning colors and shapes. When I play with my baby and this toy, I show him the shape and explain the shape and color to him so he can begin to understand. The toy is a nice size, not too big, but holds all the pieces nicely. Some reviewers have complained that the lid does not snap on the lower container, but that's so the baby can remove the lid to empty the container and play again. If the baby wants to play with just the yellow lid and not place the shapes into the holes, who cares? The baby is learning to play their way and they're having fun.
