HABA Baby's First Basic Block Set - 12 Colorful Wooden Cubes (Made in Germany)

While these blocks are a little 'pricey', they are the best blocks for a very young child. Being an intervention specialist, I have seen many products on the market geared to young children. By far these blocks are the best for small hands to stack, transfer, and toss! The colors are vivid and the finish is superb. Blocks are the best developmental toy to give a child. These blocks are an excellent starter set that will be as loved at 6 months as they are at 6 years!

I have actually purchased two sets of these because I like them so much. They are worth the price. They are evenly shaped, brightly colored and the non toxic paint is smooth to the touch. The size is perfect where I don't have to worry about my 6 month old choking on them but small enough for her to grasp and handle with her small hands. She's too little to stack them and build with them, but I expect they will provide hours of fun as she grows. And of course I feel confident when she wants to put them immediately in her mouth knowing they are safe. Her toys are all haba and hape. I have been SO impressed with this brand!

Worth every penny! My 8 month old loves these. He loves tearing the towers I build down, collecting a single color, attempting to take one block off the tower, putting them in a box, chewing on them (thank God for non-toxic paint), etc. Bright fun colors that simulate his brain. Simple toys are the best!

We bought these for our first child, who is now 3-1/2. It's been amazing to see her use them in SO many ways over the years, from grasping them as an infant, to stacking them as a toddler, to now building "castles" and arranging them in the shape of letters as a preschooler - these blocks have provided hours and hours of education and fun! They are painted with safe, boldly-colored paint, and have held up beautifully, withstanding beatings from our second child, who is just beginning to enjoy what will surely be some of his favorite "toys." Haba is top-notch!

Great size, nice colors. About 6 months of having them and a few have some beaten up edges that are started to splinter but only two are doing that. Color has been staying on and not coming off on baby’s hands or mouth so we’re happy overall

I bought these for my first two kids several years ago, and the blocks are still going strong. The paint is still vibrant and there are very few dings or marks on any of the blocks. As babies, my boys just grabbed the blocks and held them. As time went on, they progressed to stacking the blocks. Now they sort them by colors and make towers with alternating colors. All the blocks are perfectly square, so stacking them is easy. Even after years of use, the blocks look brand new.

Love these blocks! They have a great weight to them and they stack perfectly. They also have a pleasant sound when they fall, haha, not that my baby cares about that part. The colors are really nice and my baby can easily grab them. One of the blocks came splintered but Haba sent me a replacement block straight away. Great product and company!

We bought these for our 12 mo old son for his birthday. Between him and some of his 9-15mo friends, they have been tested. The color does not "chip" off but is in beautiful brilliant colors. Stands up to washing, banging, dropping and even throwing. Sturdy, great for towers. Our son just recently became interested in them and he is now 15months...I'd buy them again. Great "old-time" classic toy that promotes imagination and skill development not prevalent in most cheap plastic noise makers, a toy that I expect will be around our home for a long time to come.
