We received this toy for Christmas and our 1-year-old loves it! He hasn’t yet mastered putting the blocks in order, but when we put it together for him, he laughs with delight. He picks up the blocks, chews on them, etc. and we have had zero problems.
Older kids (and – funniest of all – adults!) who play with it adore this toy. A great buy – who can beat under $10 for a classic wooden toy with a twist?
We have the Vehicle Sounds version of these blocks – both are very cute and a perfect birthday gift!

My son received these for Christmas and his 1st Birthday. He loves it when he matches up the animals or vehicles and makes them make the sounds. He hasn’t mastered it but has more fun with it. And now that he’s 2 1/2 he’s even more interested in how it works. Although a word of caution. When he was teething he thought these blocks were great to scrape his gums on. Which would have been fine because they are smooth but they have the little rubber dots to contend with. He managed to pop off one and now the ambulance doesn’t sound. And he did not swollow the dot (which is easy to have happen). But these are essential cause and effect toys that all children will love. We gave our neice the farm set and she still plays with it daily. Great toy but another little thing to remember with the rubber dots…supervise and count the dots!

We bought this for our son when he was about 18 months. It only frustrated him that he could not put the blocks together correctly in order to make the animal sounds. So we shelved it. Then at 2 years old, he rediscovered it and loves it! He is so proud that he is able to manipulate the blocks in order to create sound. This is a toy that rewards fine motor skills. And at 2, he is very interested in the various animals & their sounds.
This is a very high quality toy and I am surprised at some of the negative reviews here. My son has beaten the heck out of these blocks and they are still working just fine.
We love this one so much that we just purchased the similar “Transportation” sound blocks – also by Melissa and Doug.
Hope this helps,
Jodi

Great educational puzzle for young children. This is the only toy with batteries that we have in our house. This puzzle is sometimes used in evaluating kids.

I had purchased similar blocks for my older grandchildren. I was disappointed with these because the sound of the animals are so low. You can barely hear them. The old set was better made.
