These stacking blocks are just beautiful. Such lovely artwork with beautiful colours. Fantastic quality - I was very happy with the thick cardboard as I try to avoid plastic when I can. The blocks are so sturdy, but lightweight. So they are perfect for our 1 year old grand daughter. Great for her to play with now, and as she gets older the numbers on the blocks mean they will become a fantastic learning toy. We bought a couple of other items for her from the store and everything was just so beautiful and unique. I find everything in the typical giant toy stores to be so generic and a lot of it looks like cheap plastic. Every time I buy a birthday gift from one of the big toy stores I always worry that someone else might have bought the same gift or that they'll already have it (or something very similar). When I buy something from The Enchanted Child I know I'm getting them something unique and special, something they won't already have, and I know I'll be more than happy with the quality. I highly recommend this beautiful store.
