Review on 🏫 Enhancing Early Learning: Introducing FOPNETS Building Preschool Educational Montessori by Curby Alston

I don't know what the other reviewers got or what they expected from wood blocks, but I'm more than happy with them. Yes, there are small chips and defects, but this is wood, not plastic cubes. Wood just has a feel and quality that you can't get with all the plastic stuff these days. The dice measure just over 1.5" on each side, meaning they're big enough not to choke on the sides (although it's dangerous to throw them now that our kid loves tossing things!) at them also have 3 illustrations that start with the same letter (So, A, a, plane, apple, etc.) My only complaint, and it's wonderfully insignificant, is the number pads. On the surface of the cube, they are just as well finished. However, take block #7 - it has a 7 on one side, a pair of illustrations of 7 (7 fingers, 7-sided shape), a math symbol, then it also has the number 4. The number 4 has absolutely nothing to do with it do with one of the illustrations on block (they are all 7 connected to each other). ). It's a bit annoying but not a big deal as my kid can't read yet ha! These are well made blocks that have some minor (and I mean SMALL) imperfections due to the wood, but that's to be expected. . They are a good size and the design is pretty well done. They are also well packaged (beautiful box shrink-wrapped inside, including a canvas bag for storage) should you wish to give them as gifts.
