IQ Preschool Magic Sound Blocks Animals

Overall, a good product. However, after only a couple of weeks of mild use, it started misfiring some times: the child would press together 2 halves of a doggy, and a kitty cat would sound off instead… The doggy would too, eventually, but very confusing for a child who’s learning.
A couple of other minor things include the fact that the pictures are simply glued to the cubes, and on one of them the corner already started coming off and the fact that the toy does not come with batteries (perhaps my fault for not checking, but I thought I’d mention it specifically for the others).

The blocks are cute and help hand/eye coordination. The only problem I found was that the animal sounds were hard to hear. The set I had for my older grandchildren were easy to hear.

I bought both this set and the Melissa and Doug set for my daughter for Christmas. The Melissa and Doug set takes a little wiggling to work and is sometimes very very quiet. This set seems to work everytime you bring the right pieces together and you can actually hear the animal sounds loud and clear.
