Dr. Drew's Blocks are the best blocks around. These are high quality blocks - children (and adults) are drawn to them. They are a must for any early childhood setting -- home or school

- Bev Bos, author and early childhood development expert

I never thought I'd be caught dead writing an entire review about a set of wooden blocks, right? Wrong!

For one thing, Dr. Drew's Blocks are made out of hardwood, not your typical soft pine. This means they clack together in a satisfying fashion and that they don't immediately develop a leprosy of dings and dents like common blocks. Dr. Drew's Blocks are also slim and rectangular (2X3X1/2inches), so even babies can grasp them easily and adults can build terrific constructions. The blocks come in a natural splinter free finish that go with any décor except Recent Plastic. They are truly a "discovery" toy, limited only by your imagination and the size of the set you purchase. The whole kit and caboodle comes either in a durable and attractive canvas bag, a beautiful wooden tray, or a cardboard box. Now you know why Dr. Drew's Blocks received the 1982 "Best Toy of the Year" award from the Parents Choice Foundation.

Oh yes the inventor, Walter F. Drew, is a for-real Ed.D and early childhood educator. He would say that the simplicity and uniformity of his blocks make it easy for children to discover number relationships and basic geometric patterns and to develop their creativity through construction and free play. He would also point out that all ages can play with these blocks together. I will just say that these blocks are FUN (we own the biggest and the smallest set) and that you will kick yourself if you don't buy the large set.

My class LOVES the little blocks.

I introduced them to the whole class - mystery box - and we discussed what they reminded us of .....soap, comb, walkie talkie, remote control.....then we each added our own block to a structure.

Our first structure was flat. Now we are becoming more daring and this week we built a structure going up.

Small group time each child had 10 blocks and created his/her own structure. After a while then two children worked together. More blocks allowed for more complex structures.

I am sending a few photos of our first large and small group block fun.

I had the privilege of seeing you this past weekend at the FPEA homeschool convention. I wanted to tell you that I have been attending the convention for 6 years. During that time, I have purchased many items for my children. Dr. Drew's blocks are by far the best purchase I have ever made at convention. They have served as math manipulatives, dominoes, turtle "mazes" and pieces of a hide and seek challenge. We have used them to build ziggurats, dna molecules and roadways for our doll cars. My children are teenagers now, but we still protect our Dr. Drew blocks from sticky-fingered neighbors. They are the most cost-effect, long- lasting and downright enjoyable product I have purchased. Someday I know I will be down on my hands and knees setting up your blocks for a whole new generation of our family. Thank you for the kind of attention to detail which makes this possible.
