Holgate Blocks Review

Hey everyone! So this will be my first post reviewing an actual kid product - Holgate's Baby Blocks from NMC Toys. As many of you probably know, I am always looking to buy new, fun, and educational toys for Tyler and these blocks were no exception!

Tyler has gotten better at his hand-eye-coordination, and these blocks are perfect to help him develop his motor skills. I have a number of other stacking toys, but this is the first set that I came across that were wooden - LOVE that! Even though they were wooden, they had soft edges to them, so I wasn't worried about Tyler hurting himself with them. The blocks were nice and solid, and compared to other wooden toys that we have, they held up quite well to Tyler's banging them on things. We've had other wooden toys that chipped and needed to be thrown away.
I really liked that these blocks were the perfect size for Tyler's little hands. He had no problem picking them up and stacking them. His favorite thing right now is to stack them up and then knock them over violently, so size and durability are very important considerations for us. Once he gets a little older, we'll enjoy pointing out the simple letters and animal shapes printed on them. I really enjoyed the artwork on the blocks, they had a classic style to them.

Overall, I would recommend these blocks to families with toddlers that are starting to hone their motor skills. They're perfect for little hands, and will grow with the child as they start to learn their shapes and letters.
