🧱 Melissa & Doug Jumbo Building Blocks - 40 Extra-Thick Cardboard Blocks in 3 Sizes Review

Well first I LOVE them. they seemed very strong. And I thought wow they can carry up to 150 pounds! My son weighs almost 40 kilos. Several small blocks will be crushed by him when he stands on them. Large blocks have multiple fragmented sections. Needless to say, I won't be buying these again. I'm just glad I bought them on sale. I don't think they are worth full price. It was fun playing with them. I only wish they were as strong as they claim.

When my eldest son was a kid I had this amazing set of cardboard cubes. It was gifted to us by another family. They were thick and lasted long enough that by the time our third outgrew them (about 7 years of rough play) they were still strong enough to pass us on. It's not like that at all. Super thin cardboard. If you're not careful, you can tear them during assembly. They've been open for less than an hour and some are already dented in the corners. And one is crushed. If I had time I would…

I remember playing with them when I was in kindergarten. I bought them for my sons about 6 years ago. I ended up selling them and then having another baby and buying these for them. They are durable, easy to assemble and a lot of fun! My children sometimes stand or sit on it. It doesn't damage them enough to render them unusable, but it can leave a dent here and there. However, cardboard is SO strong and my kids quickly learned not to stand on it. They have so much fun building castles and…

1. Before you start collecting them, figure out where you're going to keep them. I had a 19 x 19 x 15 inch jar left over from moving. All blocks fit, there is little space left. Storage is key to make them last.2. Instructions are on a small piece of paper at the bottom of the box. It shows the best order to stack them. Follow the directions and fold along the creases before beginning.3. Blue stones are the brightest.4. It takes about 90 minutes if you're a grandmother like me. A movie and a…

Okay, assembly is annoying, but not "difficult". Just get ready to cut out paper. Ultimately, I have consistently good reviews because the build is worth the end product, and I don't think you'll find one of those cardboard bricks that DO NOT suck to build. Again not difficult to assemble, just rough in the hands. That's a lot of folding and folding cardboard. My 13 month (1 year) son has played with it. I know the recommended age is 3+, but whatever. He loves them and he also likes the Melissa

These blocks are very strong for cardboard! My son steps on it, sits on it and throws it. The edges are a bit frayed, but there is no serious damage. We bought it a year ago and he plays with it every day. He built a car, many, many towers, boats, doors and houses. We folded them and "drove” on his train. They call it! You are worth every penny. I almost feel bad for buying them on sale! Definitely the most durable toy ever. My only complaint: I wish there were more red and blue blocks and…
