The smallest piece in the set is over two inches tall and an inch wide, so none of the pieces pose a choking hazard.

One tip for parents: add the MEGA Bloks Building Imagination Bag (sold separately) with additional pieces for even more combinations and possibilities.

Just Fold and Go
The MEGA Bloks Build'n Go Table is easy to set up. Simply place the four, colorful tabletop pieces in place and twist the center wheel to lock. Then unfold the legs until you hear a click. There's a handy storage compartment underneath the tabletop that can hold MEGA Bloks pieces for fast, easy clean up.

It's also easy to prepare the table to get ready to go. You simply pinch the top of each leg until the leg folds down. The lightweight table has two handles on the side so you can carry it like a compact suitcase. It's light enough for children to tote it around. Portable and easy to carry, it's perfect for play dates or a trip to Grandma's house.

What's in the Box
One MEGA Blok foldable table, four interlocking table top pieces, 22 MEGA Blok shapes and pieces of varying sizes, one page of stickers, instruction sheet.

Classic Toy Provides Hours of Fun
This classic wood block set includes 100 solid wood blocks painted bright red, blue, yellow, and green. A versatile variety of shapes are included: rectangular prisms, cubes, cylinders, half circles, arches, and two different sizes of rectangular planks and triangles.

The blocks come in a variety of sizes including the half-circle measuring about 1-1/2 inches long and the tallest rectangular plank measuring about 3-1/2 inches long. Their size, combined with the wonderful variety of shapes, makes them just challenging enough for younger children to manipulate. A three-year-old tester enjoyed trying to build towers and walls as tall as possible, as well as sorting the blocks by shape and color. And the smaller size of the blocks keeps them interesting for older children, too--so kids can easily get many years of use out of them.

High-Quality Construction
Parents will appreciate the safe, durable construction of these blocks. Though they're made of solid wood, these blocks are light in weight, which makes them safer for small children. The blocks have rounded edges and a smooth painted finish that won't splinter with play.

The only drawback: while many Melissa&Doug toys come packaged in long-lasting, aesthetically pleasing storage containers, this set of blocks comes in a cardboard box. But while the box won't last forever, these blocks will. And as with all of their products, Melissa&Doug states that this toy is made with non-toxic coatings and meets or exceeds US toy testing standards.

The toys are tested at the factory of origin during various phases of the production process to ensure that every toy meets the company's stringent safety requirements every step along the way.

Since day one, Melissa&Doug has been in compliance with every US consumer product safety regulation and will continue to stay compliant as the laws continue to evolve, assuring parents that their children can have a safe childhood while playing with Melissa&Doug toys.
