Giant Building Block 40-piece Set
Giant Building Block 40-piece Set Little ones with a knack for building and creative play will be drawn to these lightweight and durable cardboard building blocks. A staple item in many preschools, this set can spark endless imaginative play as children build large, life-size structures. Builders practice mathematical skills as they add the number of blocks stacked on top of each other, and the various-sized blocks can facilitate a conceptual understanding of fractions. When kids are developmentally ready, parents can encourage them to discover that one large red block is the same size as two medium yellow blocks or four small blue blocks. Made from 50 percent recycled cardboard, the blocks have a smooth, water-resistant coating that’s easy to clean. These blocks won a Parents’ Choice Classic Award and a Dr. Toy Classic Award. One word of caution: Make sure there’s enough storage space to hold all 40 blocks once assembled.

Giant Building Block 40-piece Set Reviews
EXCELLENT PLAY VALUE!!
My older two children had these when they were little. It hit me like a ton of bricks (haha) that my 3 year old would LOVE them. I knew I could depend on Amazon! Once you assemble one brick, it is quite easy to do. It is much easier to do it WITHOUT your child watching you, but hey, it is still fun. The imagination is great as you watch them build Billy Blazes, the Rescue Heroes, a new house…..line them up and make a road for their cars….build a castle…or just pile them up to knock over! My 7 yr old has created furniture for her American Girl doll wtih them as well! They are quite durable and you can even stand on them without crushing them. They do take up some room, so you might want to save a large box to store them in. Or, you can do what I do and line them up against the wall and pretend it is the fireplace I don’t have. 
I don’t think you can go wrong with this good old fashioned fun! Hey, and the GREATEST thing of all….NO BATTERIES and they don’t talk!!!!! I am off to order a second set while they are in stock! I think we might get the castle ones this time to add on to our set!!
A Hit With Toddlers
We bought these for my 17 month old son, despite his lack of interest in Megablocks and Duplo.
They aren’t too difficult to assemble, but the instructions could be better. By the time we had the first two blocks assembled, my son was already stacking them.
This is a great rainy day activity for the whole family (mom, dad and child). We spent several hours yesterday building towers and castles and knockling them down. My son also uses the pieces for imaginative play (who would have thought a blue piece + a yellow piece = a telephone?). I can tell these are going to be a favorite for years to come – I’m going to order more!
