Review: Plan Toys Water Blocks



We love many prodcuts from Plan Toys and these Plan Toys Water Blocks are no exception.  My son has enjoyed these since about 4 months old, when he was able to roll over and look through the colorful water sandwiched between the plastic plexi panels.  Surrounding this plastic piece is a very smooth non-toxic, sustainably grown rubberwood with rounded corners that are very tactile and pleasing to the touch.  


There are six blocks in the set: three domes and three squares, one of each in primary colors red, blue, and yellow.  They are slightly heavy so smaller babies can't manipulate them as well, but are great for slightly older babies and toddlers to play with hands-on.  We love stacking them in with our block collection! You can balance the domes to make underpasses, or atop the squares to make architectural structures.  If you layer blue and yellow, they will show green in the sunlight!  

In fact if you place these in the path of sunlight they create a beautiful stained glass type relfection.  I'll have to add a photo of that when I get a chance. At the moment my son loves looking through them!
They are so pretty I like to keep one or two out dispalyed in his play area.



The squares measure about 4 x 4 inches and the domes about 5.5 wide and 2.7 inches tall.
