We use these as train table accessories…,
…and they are working out great with our Thomas Layouts. Melissa & Doug products continue to impress me with their high quality and typically provide great educational value. These are educational and your children will learn things like Police Station, Fire Station, Hospital, School, Town Hall, Grocery Store, and Post Office. There are several different shapes too, including squares, rectangles, triangle, and the various signs. The buildings and most of the roof pieces only have the building design on one side. The trees, ambulance, fire truck, and mail truck are large and double sided. The various street signs, and passenger cars are a little small, and as the box states ages 3+ and up, I would consider these smaller pieces a choking hazard. The larger pieces are enjoyed by both my 1 yr old and my 3 yr old. The rectangles are the largest piece in the set and measure 4 3/4 by 2 1/4″ approx. Squares are roughly 2 1/4 x 2 1/4″. These blocks are not as heavy as I expected, but still nicely made, and bright colorful additions to playsets like Thomas/Brio train sets. If your children don’t insist on the real thing, this is a great way to save some money and still buy a quality product.
The only drawback is the wooden storage box doesn’t come with a sliding plexi cover like the Melissa & Doug pizza set or beading set does. That would be really nice for storage and secure those little pieces that we don’t use.

|Restored faith,
This company really surprised me: When, at first, I had a complaint about my order, they immediately responded and sent a replacement order without a return request for my previous order. Instead they asked that I donate the previous order to charity. I was pleased with the promptness of their response to my complaint, their immediate action to rectify the situation and their social responsibility in their request to donate the unwanted item to charity. They are an exemplary company in my book.

|Super Set!,
I received this today–in perfect condition, thank you Amazon shipping!–and am very pleased with it. The paint colors are bright and there are lots of pieces. Several buildings look like they could be arranged in different ways, thanks to the thick blocks that stack together and go alongside each other to form them.
I count 6 traffic signs, something I particularly wanted. The vehicles are as attractive as the buildings–very attractive. And it all fits in a nice wooden box with handles. I like it!
