Friends

March 08, 2022 - By Nicole Linkfrom Tri-Cities, Washington

My son is 4 years old. He is non-verbal autistic and he absolutely loves these. He is very hard on toys and these have held up to his everyday rough play. He usually has to bring at least one of these everywhere we go. These are a perfect size, no Mama worries if he puts them in his mouth. These are solid toys. I am currently waiting on the Caucasian family and the Asian family. I hope to have every set for him. I hope they make more sets of these.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

My eight year old daughter with DS plays with these all the time. She loves to line them up, match them up, etc. She plays with them at home a lot. We also take them with us when we go away and she needs a quiet toy to play with. These are a favorite of my one year old too. They are good to learn about children from different countries

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Very nice set!

November 26, 2016 - By DianaRfrom Louisiana

I loved the quality and detail of this set, the size is just right, they stand perfectly and they made a great addition to our homeschool. I just wish this set would come with some more diversity, don't misunderstand me, we are an Hispanic family, but when my kids started playing with the dolls, they started putting them in each continent in the map and they immediately asked me why there wasn't any European doll and just a Native American in North America or a South American doll. I think a second set with these additions would make a perfect complement!

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Block Dolls

November 12, 2016 - By Laurieheislerfrom Maryland

Love love love these dolls. They are made so durable and work perfect for my dollhouse.Plus they have such great detail compared to other block dolls and the color is very close to real skin as you can get for a doll. If you want to see them setup you can see my full video here of them setup in my dollhouse https://youtu.be/LkE1tIFXN94

Yes, I would recommend this product.
