HABA - Fantasy Blocks Review

from HABA

So this is the toy to get when your little one isn't so little anymore. They say that it's from 1yr, but I think 18 months is a more proper time. These Fantasy Blocks are truly gorgeous though. Turn them into one big castle or a few smaller buildings. Either way there's so much to do, so many different combination and variations, your little one will have hours upon hours of activities. They're also really colorful, very tastefully made, and are worth every penny.



They are really high quality. Multiple coats of natural, water-based, non-toxic lacquers render the surface especially resistant to humidity and mechanical strain. A quality toy crafted to withstand years or even generations of play. Made of beech wood.

So the set consists of 26 unique pieces of various shapes and colors, and there are so many different one's: a little bell, prism and mirror. The Fantasy Blocks will surely help your little one develop motor skills, shape recognition as well as boost imagination and creativity.

Pros: gorgeous blocks, really thoughtful and lovely for you little one to play with, and plenty of fun for parents as well.
Cons: just put away the smaller blocks (the semi-circles and domes) until your child is old enough to know that they don't taste all that great. I read a story that the dome looks like a nipple to some kids, and they try to bite it off... :)
Age: 1yr - 4yr

Price: $40.49 at Amazon.com
