    Very durable and fun for 2yrs +
    I have 3 kids, ages 11 yrs,7yrs,and 2years old. These Melissa and Doug blocks are something I have always wanted for my kids,but never bought. (Until now!) I first saw them years ago when I started teaching preschool. The preschoolers always loved these blocks! They were one of the first toys chosen every day. Well, I finally purchased a set for my own children. I'm so glad I did. I really only expected my 2 year old to play with these, but all three of my kids actually play with these. These blocks are surprisingly durable for being made from cardboard. They are flat for shipping, and need to be assembled. I put them together by myself during Naptime one day. It was simple. No tools, or adhesive needed. They fold up securely creating 3 sizes of blocks in 3 colors. The yellow block measures 6x3x3.The blue block measures 6x6x3. The red block measures 12x6x3. These blocks do require some space for storing. We have been keeping these on the bottom two shelves of a book shelf. However, stacking in a corner of a room would work just as well. I'm so glad I finally bought a set of these. All three of my kids are enjoying these jumbo blocks by Melissa and Doug.
