Great fun and great for learning!
I bought these Chinese blocks for the three boys (3 y.o. and under) that I nanny for. The first time we opened the box and began to play, the 3 y.o. said, “These are our favorite!” over and over. The blocks have been a hit ever since. They love learning the number and animals. We haven’t gotten to writing the characters yet, but I am excited to teach them that. Also, the pieces can be put together to form a map of China, the Chinese flag, a dragon and the word for China in English and Chinese.
The couple things that I would say as a “negative” about these blocks would be that the edges are not rounded, so they can hurt if they are thrown across the room. Also, there is pinyin (pronunciation system) for the animals on the blocks, however there is no pinyin provided for the numbers. Thankfully, I know Chinese, so I am able to help them with that.
(For anyone who would like to know how to pronounce the numbers, I recommend getting the free app called “Pleco.” Just type anything in and there is a button you can push to hear the pronunciation.)
Overall, a mostly perfect buy for my 3 boys. Great fun and great for learning!
