Wow!

The #6 starter set was a huge hit with both my 6 year old daughter and my 10 year old son. The authentic stone look and feel really captured their imaginations. It can be challenging to find activities that are equally fun for kids and parents, but I feel that working through the building plans is a truly enjoyable way to spend quality time with my kids...challenging and fun, (sort of like working a 3D puzzle). The kids have made some pretty impressive designs of their own.

Excellent building set for ages 3 years to adult collectors. Playing with the grandson has never been so much fun.

These blocks are awesome! They rekindle childhood memories for an adult builder. The satisfaction of completing a project is just as rewarding with the Anchor Stones as it was 45 years ago with a set of basic wood blocks.

Anchor Blocks Sets 4 & 6
Posted 4/4/2007

My grandchildren, ages 4, 6 and 9, love the blocks. They are sturdy and easy to build with. They do take a bit of dexterity as they are not large, but the 4 year old has no trouble. As he was building with them, he said, "I build things other men never dream of." The blocks inspire imagination; spatial abilities are honed. The children need help understanding the building plans included with the sets, but with a little help, amazing edifices can be erected. The Anchor Blocks are a 100% hit!

Superb Choice

If you are looking for a product with a great history, superb standard of quality and an excellent set of building "stones", look no further. They are stones, heavy for their size. Instructions for buildings are excellent, for they give you just enough information, but make you work out some of the details on the harder plans. Each box has a "packing list" on the inside cover of the wooden lid, showing how to place the pieces back into the box. It also gives a clue about the stones, and how they correlate to the first few building plans. Yes, even the box is made of wood. I really do highly recommend this product!

These are so cool I'm writing my first review ever

I love these things. They feel like they've been around for 100 years kinda because they have. Instant Vintage. It's almost more fun putting them away in the box than it is building with them. This is a great toy for adults. I imagine it would be cool for kids too, but building the actual models they have in the book is no easy task. The plans are just barely enough, you really have to think in order to get things right. I can't wait to finish all the plans in this book (I promised myself I wouldn't buy the next add-on set until then.)

Product review of Anchor Building Box #6 - Basic Starter
Posted 12/28/2005 by Carol

Prompt shipping, courteous service, careful packaging on item. Item was what I expected (as I remembered from many years ago) and grandchildren ("just under four years old") started building right away. The fact that the blocks have weight and are similar to real building materals makes them more appealing than plastic blocks.
