Measures 15"L x 12.25"W x 5.25"D.

Bought 2 of these sets for my two youngest children 1 and 3 for Christmas. They are great. My 8 and 10 year old play with them just as often as my younger two. Just like the blocks found in a school setting, very durable and the wooden box they come in in perfect for building on top of if flipped over or for sitting in if you are little enough. I might even buy another set since 60 blocks is perfect for 1 child but once they start wanting to build towers high enough to touch 9 foot ceilings . . . you need more!


Once again, Amazon comes through for me. My son was having a "block party" theme for his second birthday and my wife wanted him to have more blocks. I found these on Amazon.com for an excellent price and even with the free super saver shipping, I got them before the end of the week!

The blocks themselves are sturdy and well finished. The wooden box is a nice touch, but it takes some work to fit the blocks back in after dumping them out. The blocks have enough weight that it really hurts when my son throws them at me. :) I enjoy building with the blocks as much as he does, so all around it was a great buy.



I purchased these blocks for my 3-year old nephew for his birthday two months ago and he is still playing with them. He received several trucks and a toy piano, but he loves his blocks the best. They seem to spark his imagination.


Grandson asked for building blocks, when they were opened he stated "Just what I wanted" Will be able to add to this set and he can build for years.


Building blocks are one of the perfect toys for children of many ages. Our 3 year old twins, boy and girl, both love playing with these melissa and doug blocks. They are durable and a great size to build anything they can imagine with. It is nice that they are all the same color. We have some smaller M&D blocks that are in primary colors which are great to use as accents on whatever they build. You cannot go wrong with these blocks, a great toy. Most local toyshops ask about $59 for these, I paid $35 or so and with free shipping and no tax, it was a great find. Thanks Amazon.


These blocks are larger than most. They're very durable. They're smooth and have rounded edges, but still fit together extremely well. The wooden box is itself a toy. I bought two sets, and all my children, from the elementary students to the toddler, love playing with them. One caution-- kids can build really high towers with them because they stack so well, which means more potential energy and greater force of impact when they fall. There's just the right balance between big pieces and little interestingly-shaped pieces, allowing for lots of creativity. These blocks seem really durable-- I expect that my grandkids will play with these blocks someday.


Our grandson, who is 3 years old, will sit for over an hour building car ramps and buildings with the Doug & Melissa wooden blocks. The blocks have a nice smooth finish and will easily fit back into the wood crate for clean-up. I highly recommend this product to any parent or grandparent. It is a great value and will last forever.


I purchased these blocks for my 2 daughters (2 yrs & 3.5 yrs old) for Christmas. This is a great set of blocks - large pieces, enough blocks to build a BIG castle, and very sturdy! I had first purchased a set of blocks of a different brand...but quickly returned them when I saw how small the pieces were and how little you actually got in the set. My husband loves to build big castles, houses, towers, etc. with the girls - if only we could get my 2 year old to stop knocking them down!
Overall, this is worth the investment...as always, Melissa & Doug have delivered a beautiful, educational toy that will hold up for many, many years!


When I was young, I had a set of solid wood standard unit blocks, and I played with them constantly. Ever since I became a mother, I've looked for a set that was good quality and affordable, and I've finally found them. We absolutely love these blocks. They were a Christmas gift for my 21-month-old son, and he and my 3-year-old play with them every day. They use them to build buildings, castles, and towers for their action figures, and roads for their cars. I didn't notice any smell from the blocks like some reviewers noted, and they don't splinter or split in any way. I would recommend buying more than one set to expand the fun, but one set is definitely enough to play with on it's own. My boys also love the wooden box that the blocks come in - it has been a boat, a chair, and some other very imaginative things. :)


When we received this block set for our Grand-daughter we were really amazed at the quality and workmanship of the blocks. We, of course had to dump out the set on the floor and give it a "test play". Both of us are in our sixties and had a great time building with them. I have a feeling that we will have to order 2 more sets so all 3 of us can play "Blocks" together. Thank you for making such a great product.
