Mondo Bloxx 40 Pack Cardboard Block Brick Set (12x6x3)

These heavy duty cardboard bricks are very well designed for both creative play and longevity. They will support the weight of most young children. There are 40 of them, so there are countless ways a child can create and play with structures. A favorite use is to build something up only to ultimately make it tumble down. I gave a set 2 years ago to my youngest granddaughter, who was 3 years old at the time and still plays with them at age 5. I gave another set my 3-year old grandson this year, and he and his 6-year old sister had a grand time building structures and tunnels with them on Christmas day. These bricks are easily stackable and storable.

Easy to put together

I bought 2 sets of these for my grandsons aged 2 and 3. My own little brother had a set of these that we played with for years, and I wanted my grandsons to have something like them. When I opened the box, I was surprised to see so many of them in one box! Assembly was easy, but took a few minutes to figure out. Not all directions are there on the box. They were actually easy to put together once I figured it out. They are very sturdy. The boys have played with them almost exclusively for 3 days. Us grandparents have had fun too. I can definitely recommend these.

Got these for our church's daycare. The kids like them and really occupy themselves building with them. They are surprisingly stout and won't inflict major damage if turned into a projectile.

We had these in our home 30 yrs ago for our kids, and they played with them everyday for years. The kids built furniture, forts, whatever they imagined. They're one of the BEST toys ever! The bricks back then had a waxy-type laminate on them that gave them grip-ability. Recently, I ordered a set of these Mondo Bloxx for a toddler friend, and I was so disappointed that they have made these without a laminated coating. These, along with others I've looked into, only have paper over cardboard, and are slick and slippery. One can't build much of anything without them slipping and sliding out from underneath themselves. Since these are very sturdy and strong, I wanted to make this work, so I googled how to laminate paper. One answer was "tape". So, I loaded a tape dispenser gun with crystal clear, non-cloudy packing tape. (First used a cloudy tape, and the blemishes showed on the brick.) While the bricks were laid flat, I "laminated" them, covering them with tape, smoothing it out with the edge of a credit card. I didn't cover the cardboard that goes inside the brick, so it was pretty quick and easy. They folded-up perfectly; they look great, and now they are laminated with SUPER grip-ability, ready to build whatever the imagination can think of, with the ability to grip together and not slip out from underneath themselves. Laminating will also solve the problem that people have reported of color rubbing off on their hands. I highly recommend these bricks once laminated. They are fabulous; your kids will have fun with them for years to come.
