3 Bees & MeWooden Stacking Rocks - 40 XL Balancing Blocks & Stones for Kids & Toddlers - Sorting, Building, Stacking and Balance Set

This review is for 3 Bees & Me's wooden balancing blocks set. This set comes nicely packed in a box that when it was first opened was quite visually pleasing with the 40 blocks all lined up by color. I took a few of these out of the box and was playing around with them trying to get them to build the tallest tower. I got up to 8 blocks before they fell. Admittedly, that tower was pretty basic and didn't take advantage of the unique angles that are cut into these blocks.The rock stacks remind me of the Nicholas Cage "City of Angels" movie, and I see similar stacks along the San Francisco coastline when walking out along Pier 39 and the surrounding area. These are much more colorful but just as peaceful and relaxing. When I was putting the stacks together, it was quite a calming, peaceful experience. I can see these being a great stress reliever for kids and adults. I won't lie. I ordered these for myself. I'm definitely taking these into the office and using them after those stressful Zoom meetings or other office projects.These are definitely a must have for people who work in stressing environments or work with people (and kids) who need a distraction to help calm them down and focus on something other than the stressors around them.

Overall, it is not a bad product, and the price is fair too. Its more or less exactly what you would expect for wood stacking blocks. The only problem with them is that some of the sides are not perfectly horizontal or vertical. While most of the sides are either completely horizontal or vertical, every block has a few sides which are not. This means that those sides are useless for stacking. Believe me I tried. You cannot get even two of the blocks to stack on those faces. In my opinion, that is not only a wasted side, but it seemingly frustrates my 2 year old who doesn’t understand why the blocks keep falling.

These are really a fun toy. You can stack them super tall and they stay together. Sturdy and durable. My one complaint is not all the sides are even. So you can’t stack them in every which way. Which becomes a problem for a low patience toddler. Most sides are fine but these ones that aren’t create frustration.

This is a great set of blocks for kids, they are colorful and really fun to play with. Kids love playing with these and trying to balance them. It adds a new form of play where they have to figure out the best way to balance them and keep them balanced as they build them up. They feel pretty high quality and you get quite a few of them in the set in a variety of sizes. I would definitely recommend these! They are great for problem solving, coordination, and motor skills.

These are super cool. Our child loves rocks and these rocks are preferable to outdoor rocks in the house. They come in a nice box, but it is like a sleeping bag. Good luck getting them all back inside 🤣 I would buy a tote w/ a lid to store them!The rocks themself are made out of a wood and are stained/painted different colors. All of them have the same angles / slants / divots, but there are many ways to stack them. We keep stacking them to see who can stack the most before they fall.Overall, lots of entertainment value for these and are very durable to falling over. You could even use them outside on the sidewalk / driveway!

I thought that these wooden rocks looked like a cute toy but I would never have guessed how much my nieces would love them. They are large enough that my younger niece can play with the rocks with no worries that she could choke and the paint is nice and durable enough that even if she chews on them she doesn’t remove any of it. They are cute and colorful and carved with various flat sides that allow for creativity in stacking and building with them. I think that it is the versatility and creativity involved in playing with these that makes my nieces love them so much. But whatever the reason, I would definitely recommend them for your little ones!

I ordered these for my young toddler and they really are extra large so I don't have to worry about my son choking on them but my husband says they are hard to stack and so we out them up until my son is older.

I am a mother of a two-year-old boy and I love finding things to help his motor skills. I have been wanting stacking rocks for a while so when I saw these I thought they would be perfect for him. These stacking rocks are amazing and they work great for what they do. I love all the colors that are there and they are also great at doing other activities such as "match the colors" and "stack three rocks"
