Blockables™ Safari Play Set

The wooden pieces are chunky enough for little hands to grip, and my son figured out how to build the lion on his own within a day. He lines up all the animals on the rug and makes up stories for hours, which is a nice break from the plastic stuff.

The pieces are solid wood and connect snugly enough that my 3-year-old can stack a lion without it toppling over. We've used this set every day for two weeks and it still looks brand new.

My toddler loves connecting the different animal pieces together, though I wish the set included a few more blocks for building. The solid wood construction feels durable enough for daily play.
