Great blocks. on my review.

These are colorful and fun. These are amazing. My kids found so many ways to play with them right away.! Purchased for a two year old but her older siblings 10 and 12 liked them, too.

Pros
  • These are amazing. My kids found so many ways to play with them right away.
Cons
  • The colors are not as bright as advertised

Highly recommended for my opinion

My 3.5 and 2.5 kiddos absolutely love these! They build with them almost on a daily basis and incorporate with our regular blocks. We are considering buying another 42 piece set!

Pros
  • Well made, great for a light table
Cons
  • The blocks are too large for small hands

Fun for Kids on my review.

My kids love these blocks! They are fun to stack and build stuff with. I noticed that the colors don't blend well. For example, holding up a blue and yellow block together does not look very green. The blocks are also kind of small but otherwise they are great.

Pros
  • Set includes 40 assorted shapes of solid wood frames with inset colored acrylic windows for ages 2+
Cons
  • The blocks can damage other toys if they fall on them

I got these to give as a gift and was very surprised at how tiny they are! From Guidecraft's website I learned that blocks designated "Jr." are one third smaller than a standard unit block. Best Buy also carries regular sized Guidecraft Rainbow blocks although the block size is not specified in any of the sets. It appears that the other speciality blocks that Guidecraft makes, mirror, sand, water are also standard unit block sizes. As I want the rainbow blocks to work easily with other…

Pros
  • Great!
Cons
  • The blocks are not stimulating enough for sensory development

Sweet toy! - my new review

Super happy with these I love heirloom toys and we got these for our 13 month old for christmas. He is intrigued by them, we added them to classic blocks, and my big kids love building with windows! :)

Pros
  • Fun in the morning light, or on the light table as well!
Cons
  • The blocks do not encourage creativity

Good quality, but very small blocks.

I bought these blocks for my 18month old daughter as I thought it would be a great toy to stimulate open-ended, imaginative play. I was super excited when they arrived, but I have to say I was disappointed after opening the box. I guess I should have read the description more carefully, because they were super small blocks. It's a 20 piece set, so that should have been an indication to me that they wouldn't be full sized blocks. I looked at the pictures and it made it seem as if they were full…

Pros
  • Building Toys
Cons
  • The blocks do not hold interest for long periods of time

Good to play on RUG.

Beautiful blocks, good for building and color learning altogether. But one star off because the acrylic material does crack when a toddler throw them around, now I keep them to be played on rug to prevent that.

Pros
  • Love the set
Cons
  • The blocks can be dangerous if swallowed

This was a birthday gift for my little brother who has autism, and he loves colored lenses for lights. Someone suggested me that this was a perfect gift for him. He loves them! 5/5 Stars!

Pros
  • Durable hardwood frames with vibrantly colored insets
Cons
  • The blocks are not stimulating enough to keep kids interested

A beautiful addition to our playroom

These blocks are even more wonderful in the 'flesh'. They show their colours beautifully on a white sheet next to a sunny window. Very very happy with the product :)

Pros
  • we bought these for light table we purchased, it goes perfect
Cons
  • The blocks are not durable enough for rough play

Well made fantastic toy, kids learn so much with this!

We use this on our light table, Whitney Brothers Superbright LED Large Light Table Childrens Desks and we love it! My kids are into shapes and colors so this is perfect! the color mixing is perfect visualized with this toy.This toy is great for building, shape recognition and color. I highly recommend this toy, my 3 year old twins love it!

Pros
  • We love these! Beautiful blocks!
Cons
  • The edges of the blocks are too sharp

Cute, quality, creativity inspiring

I bought these blocks during a great flash sale while I was pregnant. My son is now 8 months old now and plays with these daily. We like to build towers and create faces in the windowsills where light can shine through the center of the blocks. We also like to hold them up to our eyes and change the color of the room.I especially like these blocks because they help to teach how colors blend together.Baby is a little young for them right now, but I know these beautiful blocks will get love for…

Pros
  • My kids love these blocks on our light table!
Cons
  • The blocks are not challenging enough for older children

Encourages Creativity, Learning Colors

My toddler really enjoys these blocks! They can become a camera, or window, etc and are also excellent for learning colors and shapes. The quality so far seems excellent! As some other reviewers noted, they are small, but I think they’re more of "supplemental” blocks and work well with many other block sets.

Pros
  • Love them!!! Great quality and so much fun!!
Cons
  • The blocks have a weird smell

Fun and Sturdy for my opinion

My 18 month old loves to stack these blocks with me. They are fun for me to look at as well. Extremely sturdy even with my toddler banging them on the floor. One of my favorite educational toy purchases.

Pros
  • Guidecraft
Cons
  • The blocks cannot be used for a variety of activities
