Kids will spend hours building life-size castles and fortresses with this sturdy cardboard block set. Included are 32 blocks: six large red "brick" blocks, six medium-size yellow blocks, six small blue blocks, four drawbridges, four arches, and six turrets. This set is terrific for hours of imaginative play, and it can be used with other Imagiplay blocks to build large, life-size structures. Parents can use the castle structure to spark imaginative pretend play (who doesn't want to be a prince or princess); they can also encourage mathematical skills by helping kids discover that one large red block is the same size as two medium yellow blocks or four small blue blocks. Imagiplay blocks also enable children to explore and discover how they can control their environment and manipulate the objects within it. Made from 50 percent recycled cardboard and printed with nontoxic inks, the blocks have a smooth, water-resistant coating so they can be wiped clean. --Lauren Bernard, mother and elementary school teacher

My kids love these blocks!My 3 year-old and my 6 year-old love these blocks. They build castles and then knock them down. The blocks hold up fairly well, you just can't jump up and down on them. We've had ours for almost a year and my kids still play with them all the time.

Excellent value!I recently bought 2 sets of these blocks. They are terrific. I like the bright colors. The quality is without flaws. The set includes just under 300 of the smallest size (2 prong), but I think that there is still plenty of the other sizes to make all kinds of creative building projects. I read a review of a lego set where the reviewer complained that there was almost half of only the smallest (1 prong) size so perhaps this is more the norm than not. I have a similar box of Mega blocks in a larger size and they have been a big hit with both my boys who are now 3 & 4. I felt that it was time to move up to the smaller size blocks so I got these sets. If you are looking for wood blocks, I got the "Standard Unit Blocks" here on Amazon and I think they are outstanding in value and quality!!! Check them out!

My son loves it, but its a little wobblyMy son just loves this toy. He is 13 months old, and he returns to it several times per day. That said, his interest is almost entirely in the piano portion, which is detachable. So far, he has no interest in the "lego-like" things. He does play with the other half (little creatures which move and make noise), and enjoys them, but not as much as the piano. Of course, he has many music toys, and comes to this more often because it is raised, and as a pre-walker, he prefers to stand.
Problem: he loves to climb, and tries to climb ONTO this table all the time. It is way to wobbly (spelling?) for that, so I'm constantly telling him not to do that. He does seem to be learning, but I still have to keep an eye on him. However, I wouldn't trade this toy for any other he has right now. Not a day has gone by that he hasn't spent 30-60 minutes at it throughout the day since it arrived.

StimulatingWe received this toy for a gift for my 3-1/2 year old, and he loves it! He loves puzzles, and immediately figured out how to manipulate the pieces to fit the diagrams He never tires of it, although he'll occasionally get frustrated if the pieces slide out of place on the diagram. The pieces are very well made with no sharp edges. My only complaint is that it only comes with 4 patterns, and the cardboard "form" isn't very durable. Excellent choice overall, though!

Playmobil - Pirate Starter Set #3127

Great for imaginative playingThis was a gift for a "mature" three-and-a-half-year-old boy with a very active imagination and a passionate enthusiasm for all things pirate. He loves pirate adventure books and already had many of these stories in his head before receiving this Playmobil set.
The set includes enough accouterments to keep this young child entertained for a relatively long time. Some of the smaller, "precious" pieces of the set have allowed him to grow into a more conscientious toy owner, as he actually takes the time to put away these parts safely.
I look forward to adding to his collection with other Playmobil sets. I hope that his love for the pirate theme lasts a few more years, when I think the more intricate Playmobil Pirate Ship will be better age appropriate.

Up on the rooftop, Reindeer paws......down comes dear old Santa Claus! "Playmobil - Santa and Reindeer" is a perfect, inexpensive Christmas decoration and a fine toy as well. The set comes with Santa, four identicle Reindeer and a little angel, along with all of the accessories that you would expect from Playmobil. Presents, a trumpet and a wand for the angel all pack nicely into Santa's big sleigh, ready to deliver holiday cheer.
Like all Playmobil products, "Santa and Reindeer" are acceptable for both play and display. They are a happy addition to my seasonal collection.

Knight with SquiresI belive that this set is great for begginers! I could only collect this set and be content. With a mounted knight, a man with a sword, and a man with a crossbow, this set misses no detail! The armor is so cool! It comes off peice by peice, put holds on to the body well. You could have a quest with these guys. Here's how: give each character a name, and a personality. Hve them on a quest for something shiny. If you don't have playmobil gold, use a penny. Try to find a dragon to slay, too. Have the group journy across the house and have adventures!

PlayMobil Pirate Crew is a Favorite!!Our son plays with PlayMobil Pirate Crew and the green life boat all the time. He knows which feathers, hats, etc fit on which pirates. There's no end to what his imagination can do with them. He plays with the pirate set on other toys such as boats, buildings, islands, even outside in the dirt. We just wash them up, they are so durable. He received the toy as a gift last Christmas and he has not gotten tired of it yet! We'll definately add to the PlayMobil toys this Christmas!
