As one of the top online toy retailers, we have access to unprecendented quantities of product review data. One of the key ways that we use this data is by associating our products to the specific ages and genders of the kids who are playing with them. Whereas most retailers must rely upon manufacturer suggested ages (i.e. 3+), we take actual customer usage and share it with you here so that you can choose the perfect toy or game.
But how does this help me? You can use these graphs as a general measure of it's appropriateness for a given age and gender. While this information is generally accurate, it should not be used as an absolute answer. For instance, many dinosaur toys are purchased for boys, however, that doesn't mean that it's inappropriate for a girl who happens to like dinosaurs.
NOTE: The orange color in the charts above indicate ages that are LESS than the manufacturer suggested age. Please purchase at your discretion if your child is younger than 1 years of age.

We love these! A wonderful first set for my niece(3) and nephew(1). They will certainly enjoy these for many years to come, and we can continuously add to their set.

Though I purchased these for my youngest, they are a hit with all of my kids--ages 6-11. Classic blocks with new, inventive shapes as well. Really pleased with this purchase. Hours of creative play ahead. My 6-year-old commented on how things made in Germany are better than those made in China. Very true.
We also purchased the vehicle set and the two sets together make a nice pair.

This was a gift for my 2 year old niece. Her parents requested basic wooden blocks. The Haba blocks are anything but basic! They are heirloom quality that will last for generations! Everyone at the birthday party couldn't put them down, their tactile appeal is off the charts. As a former preschool and kindergarten teacher, these are the blocks I lusted for in my classrooms!
