Toys and Games Reviews of Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Baby's First Blocks
Customer Review: Fun, but lid doesn't stay on!
Summary: 4 Stars
My 8 month old has been playing with this for 2 months, and she LOVES it. She feels the shapes, chews on them, throws them, bangs them together, etc. However, she doesn't actually put the shapes through their correct hole. The lid comes off way too easily! She rips the lid off, bangs it on the red box, throws it, chews it, but never uses it as it is intended. Perhaps if the lid snapped on somehow she would learn how to put the shapes into the holes.
I do use this toy to say the name of the shape and the colors, and I try to show her how they fit into the holes, but she's not interested.
One good thing is you can wash them in the sink with soap and water very easily. You can't do this with a lot of toys.
Customer Review: Very Versatile Toy!
Summary: 5 Stars
My son got this toy for his 1st birthday, but at the age of 2, we are still having fun with it! When he was younger, he enjoyed watching me stack the shapes into a tower, and then he would knock them down. As he got a little older, he could stack a few of them (some of the shapes are a little difficult to stack). Eventually, he was old enough to tell me what the shapes are, what color they are, and where they go. And now that he can do all this at age 2, we have made our own game of sliding the shapes into each other up and down the hallway (the blue cylinders are EXCELLENT at getting great weebly-wobbly spins)!!! If you've got an imagination, you can get a LOT of use out of this toy, and your child will learn lots, too!Customer Review: Decent Sorter
Summary: 4 Stars
My 4 month old daughter likes this toy, not so much for the sorting function yet, but because the blocks are easy to handle and she can carry/flip/throw the bucket around. I agree with some of the other reviewers about the lid not snapping on. Just to make it clear, when an adult is carefully carrying this by the handle, the lid can pop off. Every time I show her how a block won't fit in the wrong hole and then put it in the right one, she tries to interrupt me by taking off the lid to make it easier. Funny at first, but I wonder if this will delay it's true functionality until she's old enough to value the 'puzzle' aspect. Overall though, it's durable, easy to clean, and she seems to really like it.Customer Review: This toy contains carcinogens?
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this for my baby months ago, and he has never had much interest in it. I'm glad of that now, since I saw the Prop 65 warning to California residents on Amazon's description of the toy. I'm offended that Fisher Price seems to think that it is okay to sell toys that contain dangerous chemicals to children. Plus, the toy isn't that great!
As other reviews mentioned, the top easily pops off of the toy giving babies no incentive to use the shape sorter function of the toy. My son would usually just grab the lid and knock the thing over. Then he would go on to the other toys that were more interesting for him. I would not buy this toy again or recommend that anyone else do so.
Customer Review: Great Stacker, Bright Colors, Good Sorter
Summary: 5 Stars
My granddaughter LOVES this toy! She started playing with this toy at 6 months and is now 8 months. From the beginning she was able to grab ahold of each piece with ease, she bangs them together and gets different sounds for different pieces and I tell her what color and/or shape with each piece she picks up. Our favorite part about this toy is we turn the bucket over, I stack the blocks on top of each other and she knocks them over - the look on her face every time is priceless. We carry on with this toy for well over 40 minutes each playtime. She seems to also get a kick out of dumping the bucket as quickly as I've loaded it...good skill builder as she's learning to put them back in now.
