Romantic blocks set

I love these blocks - a perfect addition to the wooden sets my children have collected over the years. Wonderful Waldorf friendly and great for the imagination and family play. I would love more sets like this one. There are many in the series and great for play and education.

Just a great set of blocks: buy two!

My four-year-old son really loves these blocks. They are smooth, well-made, easy to build with, and fun to use. And they are a real hit with everyone in our family. These are an excellent choice. My son has always been quite good with puzzles and spatial recognition. So he quickly outgrew his "little kid" blocks. They fell over too easily. They didn't really allow him to build enough different kind of structures. In short, he was always frustrated with the run-of-the-mill colored blocks. By contrast, he really appreciates the architectural diversity these blocks afford him. He can build doorways big enough to fit his small wooden people (about 1 inch tall).He can explore different angles and create different styles of buildings. He can do all of this without help - a plus for learning on his own. In short, he loves these blocks; he even asked us to purchase a second set! I think the blocks will also have real staying power: My soon-to-be-forty-year- old husband was just as enthralled with them as my four-year-old. Some things never change! But that can be a good thing. Buy a set; or buy two (highly recommended). You will not be disappointed.

Romantic Block Set
Posted 12/31/2007 by Erin Oloughlin

Rating:

The picture is very misleading. The blocks are MUCH smaller than I expected and the edges and points are sharp. I was expecting more of a classic soft-edged (and much larger) wooden block set as found in classrooms, but w/ the fun benefit of interesting shapes like stairs and arches. But the picture makes the pieces look about twice the size of the real blocks. The stairs alone are teeny-tiny (small enough to be a choking hazard for my 1 year old) and they look huge in the picture. Not what I expected and my 3 year old (the person I bought the blocks for) could care less about them. To no fault of the toy I guess, though I can't help but wonder if he'd be more interested in them if they were larger since he loves his large legos. Perhaps he'll enjoy them when he's older, but for now they stay on the shelves. Even my 5 year old isn't interested.

I Think It Is Romanic Not Romantic

I have no complaints about the product. However, it was much smaller in size with smaller parts than I anticipated.
