Lovevery The Block Set review

Lovevery's Block Set is built around the idea that one set of blocks should keep working as a child grows. The box holds 70 solid wood pieces in 18 colors: 15 cubes, half cylinders, 18 planks, 9 shapes and 2 arches, 4 wooden play people and 6 threading blocks with a toggle string. Lovevery rates it for ages 12 months and up and ships it with an activity guide of 20+ activities ordered by complexity, so a 1-year-old starts with stacking and toppling and a 3-year-old moves on to ramps, balance and counting. The storage box is part of the toy: its lid sorts shapes, its divider becomes a ramp, and 7 wheel and dowel pieces turn it into a pull car. Paint and finishes are water-based. The trade-offs are price and weight. At $95.00 it costs nearly four times the Melissa & Doug Deluxe Pounding Bench, and at 8 lbs it stays at home. Families who want lights and songs should look at the VTech or Fisher-Price picks instead.
