Baby Einstein Discover& Play Color Blocks Reviews

The Discover& Play Color Blocks are a hit!

Overall

Rated 5 out of 5

My child was given these blocks as a gift.  She has loved playing with them at several different stages in her development.  When she was younger, she loved the green block because of it has a tag she could chew on. Now I get giggles when I pull the frog's lag to make it shake.  Now that she is older she learned how to quack because of the sound the duck makes (and yes, it took us awhile to figure out that we could push on the duck and it would quack!) The colors and different textures keep baby's attention and can help them learn colors, animals, and gross motor skills.  We have fun playing 'stack the blocks and knock them down'.  Because they are soft, they are safe for babies.  No risk of bumps and bruises by wobbling legs falling on them.

I would recommend these for other children because they are safe and appeal to a variety of the children's senses.  Great for teaching colors, foods, and animals!

The Discover & Play Blocks are fun for my daughter and me.

We got a set of the Discover & Play Blocks when our daughter (now 18 months) was born. At first she really only liked feeling the soft sides and shaking the ones that make noise. Now she enjoys stacking them and knocking them down, squeezing to hear the duck quack, and pulling on the frog to make it vibrate. She's also figured out where the mirror is and loves to pull aside the flap to see herself.

The nice thing with these blocks is that they offer a lot. There are different textures - silky, smooth, bumpy, fuzzy. There are picutres, and each block makes a noise when you shake or squeeze it. They stack very easily, but are very soft so there is no injury possibility. The price was reasonable, and there was a recall on one of the blocks from the set, but the company was very prompt about exchanging for the proper block.

Overall, these toys have held up well and will easily be able to be used with our next child.

My children loves the Baby Einstein blocks - full of color!

The Baby Einstein collection has grown over the past few years. When my daughter was born we purchased the 4 soft baby blocks - yellow, green, blue and red. The blue one has been recalled and we were able to send the block to them and in return received a new block. It had something to do with lead in the paint. Which has been the story for most toys and household items lately. We thought no big deal - we knew about it and we took care of it. Thank god we have these rules and guidelines in place. So many things out there that you never know of. But each block has a side to it that has a image - and each of them make some type of sound. The yellow one features a duck on it and quacks like a duck. So very cute and they are big enough that your little one can have them at any age. Which is great when you think about what they will start sticking in their mouth when they can. We take these blocks to the park and let our son play with them while our daughter plays on the park equipment.

These blocks did not live up to my expectations

My son received these blocks as a gift right after he was born. Because they are "Baby Einstein", I had high hopes that they would be one of his favorite toys. I have had good experiences with many other "Baby Einstein" products and thought these were both cute and educational. Unfortunately, they failed to grasp my son's attention. He would look at the blocks for a few minutes and then move on to something else. 

They are WAY too big for a baby to hold, which is frustrating when you need something to keep your child entertained. By the time the baby is old enough to hold the blocks, they are interested in much more advanced, entertaining toys. Also, I didn't try to wash them, so I don't know how they clean up. 

I did like that the blocks are soft and safe for babies, so you don't have to worry about them hurting themselves. They stack nicely too. I also like that they are very colorful and have things to look at on many of the sides... it's too bad my son didn't feel the same way. 

Baby Einstein Discover Blocks were engaging from the first day!

Baby Einstein Discover and Play Color Blocks were a hit from day one! I received these as a baby shower gift and didn't think much about them, other than I liked the general look of them. When I brought our baby home, I tossed a few into her crib without thinking. Babies at this age tend to be amused as much by the warning labels on items as they are toys. I didn't think she would pay much attention to them. I was pretty much wrong.

I caught her staring at them often and then eventually cooing at them. She then graduated to creeping at them. Knocking over the blocks were a great activity when her siblings stacked them...no need to worry about baby getting hurt when the blocks fall, as they ...

Every child should have a set

I'm a big toy freak, I love baby things, especially toys. So, when I heard my best friend was having a baby, I immediately starting buying toys! One of my first purchases were the Baby Einstein Stacking Blocks. I love them! They are so soft and they aren't the annoying blocks that squeak like a cat or dog toy. They are so small and cute! They come in three different sizes which is cool because small babies can't always grasp onto the big items. The pictures on the blocks are really good pictures and the baby loves to stare at them. What makes this product the best is that it has a small teether attached to the small block!

The wonderful colors, texture and sounds on these blocks makes an en...

I bought  Baby Einstein Discover& Play Color Blocks for my own child, my daycare children, and neices and nephew. The colors are vibrant and I feel safe and secure knowing that the children are playing with a safe toy. The kids all pick up this toy more than once. It is the toy that is never in the toy box. This toy is a great gift for baby showers too. These are a great addition to any Baby Einstein collection. The size of the blocks are great for small kids. I continue to recommend this toy to all my daycare families. They are great for counting, learining colors, shapes, and also making patterns. I have discovered many teaching opportunities with the Baby Einstein Blocks. I like to use them to teach since there are not too many peices to keep track of and large enough for more than one child to see and benefit from the learning opportunity. The kids don't even know they are learning.

We first gave these as a gift to a friend before we had our own baby. Her baby loved them so we bought them for our own baby. I like that they are colorful and soft and easy for baby to hold and play with. It is fun that they have different texture on the different sides and make crinkly noisy when babies play with it. I wish they had more than four in a pack. One of the toys has a frog and you can pull its leg and the block vibrates, my son thought this was hilarous. The one thing I did not like about the block is that i didnt feel like they could be put the blocks in the washing machine when they got dirty so when a baby accident happen I had to throw the block away. I think it would have been fun it they would have played a song. It would have helped if they had tags on them. Another thing I like is there was a mirror and my sone loved looking at himself in on the mirror that is on one of the blocks.

Bright colored blocks great for baby.

Not a toy my kids played with

I received these toys as a baby gift for my first child.  Neither my first or second liked to play with them at all.  These toys aren't that visually interesting for the recommended age group.  Also, the blocks are too big for the child to hold at the age where they capture the childs attention.  There aren't a variety of different features on these blocks to keep a baby's attention for more than a few seconds.  Babies need to have something to pull on or grab with their little fingers.  The block shape doesn't allow this.  I would recommend more features on the blocks that encourage development of motor skills.  Perhaps blocks of these size just aren't the right toy for an infant. Perhaps they should either be smaller, or improved to be targeted toward an older age group. I like the primary colors, but that alone is not enough to engage the child.  I would not buy these blocks for my child and I will probably donate them before my next child since they do not get used.

Fun for about 1 minute

My son received these as a gift at the age of five months. My initial thoughts were 'these are so soft, and colorful, they are a great toy for a busy baby boy.' I also really liked that they vibrated, but my son wouldn't even let me take it out of his mouth to pull the frogs leg! He was in love, and we were thrilled. So was the gift giver. A success for everyone. Right?

WRONG. He played with this toy for about 2 minutes, then left, probably never thinking of them again.  We have tried time and time again to pull these suckers out, placing them where we know he will play with them, even stacking them up to make a tower (because who could resist knocking over a block tower right?). To no avail, he will go out of his way to stay completely away from them. I think he is scared of the vibration, or maybe the colors are too bright.  These are now tucked away in the closet, with all the other unloved toys. Poor toys.

If someone is in the market for baby toys or specfically baby blocks I think this would be a great choice. They have the names of the colors, animal, a picture of something that color. This provides a great building block for the building of vocabualry it is easy to talk about these things with your baby as they are playing with them. It is nice that these are soft so if the baby hits his head or falls over by them they aren't going to hurt them. I think it is a little bit easier to stack the big soft blocks than the hard ones anyways. There a few different textures for the baby to explore and they are nice and bright which babies love. I don't think all of them make sounds but the set that we have has one that is yellow with a duck on it that makes a duck sound. Also on the green one there is a frog that has legs that go back and forth which I think is kinds of cool. They are also a good size for babies to hold and mauver easily.

My son learned to count! These soft cushiony blocks are bright, colorful and fun to stack! My son started playing with these at about 4 months old and still plays with them at the age of 2. These are inexpensive, and are great little starters for leaning your 1st words, shapes or animals,. Collect them all!

good toy for babies. not very interactive though.

My son loved playing with these blocks but only for so long. He would only play with them for a minute or two before moving onto something else. I really like that they have different fabrics and sounds too.
