Toys and Games Reviews of Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Baby's First Blocks
Customer Review: fun but not a great shape sorter
Summary: 5 Stars
My son loves to mouth and whack these blocks together. They make a great sound when thwacked together. I was worried about the plastic california thing til I realized that practically everything is known to the state of california to cause cancer. They are plastic after all, as are most of his toys. These were cheap and have great sound. The box is nice because it makes a lot of racket when he plays with the blocks against it. The lid does not stay on. I am not sure my son will ever use it as intended, but I guess I do not care. Maybe when he gets much older, but as it is, he loves to mouth the lid too. It is very interesting to him to hold and manipulate. And it has an embossed side that the block sound good rubbed against. If you are not looking for a good racket, maybe you should stay clear of it, but I like it for that since my son seems to love making the noises. The blocks are also easy to pick up, light and have lots of places to grab.Customer Review: Fun toy

My seven-month-old daughter received this toy as a gift and plays with it almost every day. I didn't buy it because I already had a shape-sorter toy, the kind you have to pull apart to get the shapes out. What I like about this toy is that the bucket is her size, and she loves to dump it out and play with the shapes. I don't know how it actually works as a shape sorter toy, since she hasn't done that yet, and the lid does come off very easily - and sometimes she just likes playing with the lid! The shapes are perfectly sized to fit her hand. My other shape-sorter toy might be better for actually sorting shapes, but for now, this toy is fun for her and keeps her entertained for a while. I'm a little concerned now after seeing some reviews questioning possible harmful chemicals in the plastic and have to research this, as she does chew the blocks a lot since she is teething.Customer Review: what a waste
Summary: 3 Stars
The lid on ours doesn't stay on worth a darn. She's smart enough to know she just has to take the lid off and then she can put the toys in. So for me this is just an annoying box of little tiny toys that get stepped on all the time and are all over the place. She does love playing with it though. She wears the bucket like a purse and then shakes it hard so the lid comes flying off and all the little shapes go flying everywhere, then she picks three of them up and puts them back in the bucket and does it again. I'm glad she likes it. As far as shape sorting goes though she likes this little elephant we got at target that spits the shapes out of his mouth when you push the lever to make it spin. The shapes and holes are color coded she's been laerning really fast how to get the shapes in. As far as shape sorting goes I reccommend that one or soemthing like it.Customer Review: Lid is a major problem
Summary: 3 Stars
I wish I had paid more attention to the reviewers who mentioned that the lid does not stay on. I have 14-month old twins and both enjoy taking the shapes out and occassionally putting them back in, but it is extremely difficult to get them to use the lid. It seems as if the lid almost just balances on top, there is no effort required to take it off. Sometimes, I can get them to try the sorter for one or two shapes, but then they immediately pull the lid off to take the shape(s) back out. I love watching them when they actually use the sorter, it is great to see their little hands trying to manipulate the shapes, but those moments are few and far between. They like to play with the shapes and box, but it doesn't serve its purpose in my opinion. If only they had made it with a lid that you could somehow fasten in place.Customer Review: Baby Blocks to Grow With
Summary: 5 Stars
Baby Blocks is one of a baby's first toys. I bought this item for my Grandson's 1st birthday. He loves it, and it's his overall favorite toy. He likes to crawl around with blocks in his hand, clapping with blocks in his hand to make noise, chewing on them is not a danger to him and he loves dumping them out of the bucket. He even plays Peek-a-Boo with them; we hide them under the lid and he comes and finds them, and tries to put the blocks into their holes while the lid is on the floor rather than on the bucket. He uses the bucket as a drum more than anything. I look forward to when he starts put the blocks through the lid holes while it's on the bucket and use the bucket to store his blocks when he is done playing with them, which we play at even now.
