Kaplan Early Learning Unit Blocks - Basic Classroom Set I - 107 pieces in 28 shapes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They are great for my in home childcare program! The kids love them!

I love these high quality blocks. They will last through years of our preschoolers!

The children like the size and the different shapes in this set.

This is a great set and our child care children love it it has changed our in home setting for the better

These unit blocks are an all time favorite from year to year with all the preschool children that walk through our doors.

Using these blocks in the classroom allows the children to build on math concepts, social skills, experimentation, and language skills. Blocks are also a good problem solving tool. The blocks are used everyday in our classroom. The children really enjoy creating and interacting with their peers.

This block set has been used in my preschool settings for the past six years. The quality and durability is excellent. Each block still looks brand new.

These blocks are great for stacking and the sizes are great for skill development. For example, when more than one child is building and they discover that two square blocks are the same size as one rectangle block.

I decided to spend the money on these blocks after seeing my nephew play with them. He's in Kindergarten now and still plays with them, as does his older brother (8 y/o). His mom, my sister says they don't play with them a lot as much as they used to, but when they do, it keeps them occupied for hours (quietly). I decided to get them now for our 2 year old. She does enjoy them already. We have another one on the way and I figured we'll get our money's worth out of them this way. So far I do enjoy them myself a lot and our daughter is learning good skills. I have a feeling we'll play with these high quality blocks for years to come.

This is a great product. A little spendy, but worth getting. It will last you many years!!

I have always said that if I had to choose one item to have in my classroom (or for my own kids), this would be it. You can touch on every curriculum area using unit blocks. This particular set is high quality and well worth the money.
