Guidecraft Castle Table Top Blocks

My dad gave O this set of castle blocks for Christmas, and we have had a lot of fun with them! O likes to build castles for Cinderella and the Prince :) These blocks are very well-made, and I think they will last forever!

They are a good bit smaller than her unit blocks, but we still mix the sets together to make really big castles! Playing with blocks is one of O's all time favorite activities :)

The storage case that the blocks arrived in was cracked, so I called Guidecraft and asked them to send a replacement. Their customer service is fantastic. They were VERY nice and immediately sent out a replacement storage container. I like to buy Guidecraft items since I know I can count on them to replace any missing or defective parts. O's Kitchen Helper is also made by Guidecraft, and they were wonderful about sending 2 replacement Kitchen Helpers when the only thing missing were the screws. I'm still shocked by that!

  2. What set of unit blocks do you have? We have the basics by Plan Toys, but I'm looking to expand...

    The castle blocks are great!

  4. Wow, I think I would like to play with those. Unfortunately my daughter does not seem to be interested in blocks at all. She rarely builds anything with them ... and if she does it is either a fence (for her animals) or a tower. Nothing more elaborate ... :-)

  5. We have a basic set of unit blocks by Melissa and Doug.
    Miss Muffin- O loves to build fences, too :)
    I hope I didn't imply that O built the castle by herself! It was definitely a group effort :)
