excellent building blocks; More is More

are the perfect building blocks; worthy of every good rating here. As a grown builder with years of experience with the original brand, I am pleased that they integrate perfectly, seamlessly and beautifully. My grandnephew is three years old and has just turned on blocks. As a retired engineer, I enjoy them as much as he does and bought a test bag. Separating all the small pieces yielded 385 "2by" pieces - 2x2, 2x4, 2x6, 2x8. They work great and the same day I ordered a second bag which allowed me to give him almost 800 base blocks to work with. (I'll present the rest of the parts in stacks, one or two at a time so it doesn't get overwhelming; maybe after we get some wheels and windows.) With building blocks, less isn't more. more more. especially when several adults are seated at the same table with a child who is talking, drawing/building and sharing the ideas and stories of the day. So I ordered a third bag. and recently two more. (Because building blocks support unlimited creative play and are inherently non-competitive, I think they're better than board games.) In a few years we'll be getting "regular" Lego sets and all of those pieces will come in handy to putting them together and "gluing" them. /or expand the creative displays of these sets. but the most important basic idea is kept under wraps; You can design and build something of your own, and your idea is just a recommendation./Happy Building
