These are a favorite with all the babies in our playgroup!
My son loves these blocks. He started to enjoy watching me stack them up and knock them down at around 5 months old. Now, at 8 months old, he loves playing with them himself. Compared to other blocks I've seen, these seem easier for him to hold onto and more interesting to look at. They're just the right size and they have textured sides that make it easier for him to grip. All the babies in our playgroup (ages 5 to 11 months) loved playing with them.

cute blocks
these are fun blocks. I wish that each block was a sgreat as the next but most are all great

Not for infants!
These blocks say for ages 6 months. I think that's too early. We have the sound blocks for our 7 month old baby, and out of the 6 blocks in the set, he can only get sounds out of 3 of them. The other three require the ability to push a lever or turn a dial - a 6 month old can't do that. And one of the ones you push has to be pushed very forcefully to get a squeak out of it, and another has a bumpy texture on it which hurts my finger, let alone an infants. These are definitely geared towards older kids. I had been very excited about them, but I don't think I'm going to by anymore of these blocks.

Not for young babies
I was excited to update my sons toys when he turned 6 months old, so I purchased these blocks. He is now 8 months old and doesn't enjoy these blocks one bit. He will look inside the block for only a second and then throws himself back demanding something else. I am going to put these toys away for a few months, and hopefully we will get our moneys worth further down the road.

Such a great buy
These blocks are an excellent buy! A small baby will enjoy looking at them and the noises some make. As he or she ages, they "discover" the things inside. Then they realize they can build towers. My son is now ten months old and is really beginning to enjoy each block. I bring home a new set now and then and he KNOWS they are different from all of the other ones. It's really interesting. And they are such a reasonable price! ... Read more

Editorial Review

This classic first set of blocks in a handy pull wagon is onetoy that won't end up at a yard sale. Three toys in one, the AlphabetBlock wagon encourages toddlers and preschoolers to use the wagon as apull toy to test balance and stride, use the wooden blocks to learnletters, and use their imagination to build any number of wonderfulstructures. Each of the 30 colorful blocks features carved letters ontwo sides, and a simple lowercase symbol and line drawing on theothers. Nontoxic and 1.25 inches square, they are a perfect fitfor little hands. The 9-by-7-inch wooden wagon has four smooth orangeplastic wheels and a short pull rope to help kids maneuver blocks to anew construction site. --Deb Oroszlan ... Read more

Do not buy this product!
I brought these blocks for my 15 month old niece. The picture on the website was deceptive. When the blocks arrived the paint was coming off on alot of the blocks and the toy looked really old. I guess you get what you pay for in this case I didn't really get much for my [money]

Horrible Quality!!!
I ordered 12 of these toys and the quality was just horrible! Some people complained about the paint fading fast. . . how about - some of my blocks didn't even come painted!!! Yeah, terrible quality control. Also, I did experience some problems with splintering as I carefully examined each piece. Out of all of the blocks in one wagon, I can honestly say that on average only 2 to 4 were in perfect condition. . . that's pretty bad considering that I have ordered 12! You're almost better off going to Home Depot and buying some wood and paint to make them yourself; I'm sure those will last longer. Unfortunately, I can't even rate this product for fun - since my god son and his friends never even got a chance to play with the toy. . .

Totally unsatisfied with the quality
I never wrote a review of a product that I bought via Amazon before, but I just had to write in about this one.

I remember these wooden blocks from when I was a young girl, and loved them. When I saw them at Amazon I bought them for my 15 month old grandson.

When we opened the package and took the blocks out, there were two major problems.

1. I got a splinter from a block.
2. One of the blocks BROKE!

These blocks are not of the same quality of the alphabet blocks of old. The toy went right into the garbage.

Entertaining, but poor quality
My son got this wagon on his first birthday. As he's teething, he bites the blocks and the paint peels away and I'm always finding pieces around his lips, I really hope it's not toxic!! Also, the quality of the wood is poor and some pieces were chipped. The cord came out and it's way too short for the kid to pull it anyway. It's easy for us or for him to stamp on the wagon and fall, but it hasn't happened so far, fortunately. Apart from biting the blocks, my son still doesn't do much with them, being so young, but he loves to put other toys on the wagon and "take them for a walk", it really amuses him. It's a shame it's so poorly made.

Love them!
We got these for my daughter when she was about 9 months old. She absolutely loves them. She is now a year old and already knows some of her letters and can stack things 4 and 5 high because of these blocks. It was the best ten bucks we ever spent! ... Read more

These toys grow with you
My 9 month old daughter has been playing with these for months. She loves all the different varieties of these blocks (as do my husband and I). She loves to knock them down after I have stacked them, shake them, palm them, and suck on them. As a Kindergarten teacher I know these will last 5 more years. As your baby grows she can sort them by catergories, build with them, and play many learning games with them. We have almost all of them!!!!!!

Fabulous block!
These blocks have mesmerized our (...) son for the past several months (and his parents and friends as well!). As he grows and changes--he realizes different aspects of the blocks to play with. I think these blocks foster fine motor movements, and reinforce cause-and-effect in a fun way. Plus they are indestructable! Obviously, some of the blocks are more fun than others, but as a whole these have been amazing toys in our household.

building imagination...
My husband and I had bought these blocks for our 20 mo old son and he absolutely loves them. The blocks are very cheerful looking as well as vibrant in color which draws his attention. The great thing about these blocks are that each one is different and do different things. You can play with each block individually or stack them up, make different things out of them, or knock them down for hours of endless fun!

My daughter never played with them
My 10 month old daughter got these for Christmas a couple months ago and has picked them up a few times but shows pretty much no interest in them. For all the hype about peek a blocks I expected much more I guess. She prefers stuff that lights up or plays music, these dont.

They're probably a good toy but I don't think they should put 6m+ on them, I think they would be better for toddlers. My 3 year old neice came over and loved them. So I'll probably save them for my daughter for later.

caution with washing
I was excited to receive these blocks as my 6 month old daughter loves the size of these blocks and enjoys looking at all the different features. However, I tried to wash them before I gave them to her and 9 of the 12 filled up with soapy water and were not usable. The other 3 filled with condensation and dried out adequately. Good toy but careful with washing. ... Read more

Great learning toy
My son recieved these as a christmas gift. I loved them and thought that they were great. He was used to his own blocks though and didn't play with these much. They are a great educational toy and very fun to play with.

My son loves the blocks
I got my son the blocks and he loves them so much. He will be 1 in a few day's and he likes to try to make the animal sounds. I think that the blocks have helped him so much.

Touch & Feel are the best for a young baby
My daughter is only 9 months as of this writing and we own many of the peek-a-block sets. They haven't yet taken an interest for her as anything but another object to hold, mouth and bang together. I'm sure as she gets older stacking and etc will become more interesting, but I wanted to write this review to highlight that of all the peek-a-blocks a young baby will like the touch and feel the best, since they are the easiest to grab (they have rubber and indents in the sides, whereas the others are just slick plastic) and hold the most interest for my 9 mo (she has had them since 5 or 6 months)

a toy funatic
I happened to find these while searching the internet for toys.. My 8 month old son loves them.. stacks, shakes, and bangs them together. And they are very reasonably priced. A very good toy .. for everyone in the house..

Highly recommend
Our 11 month old rec'd 54 Fisher Price Peek-a-Blocks for Christmas. He LOVES them. He plays w/ the wagon & dump truck along w/ the blocks more than any other toy he rec'd for Christmas. We juggle them to keep him entertained when his fingernails are being clipped and he just giggles and giggles instead of trying to wiggle away from us. Great toy! ... Read more
