Uncle Goose Periodic Table Blocks - Made in The USA

Great blocks, my only complaint is that some of them are a bit rough

Cool blocks. You will learn something too.

Nephew and his chemistry teacher mom loved them!

Nice wooden blocks. Great for teaching the kiddos

Gave this to my young nephew as a Christmas gift, in large part because his dad is a chemical engineer. Little guy loved it, and dad was very entertained. Possibly the best picture caption to come of it: Probably the only time I can tell my son its okay to eat arsenic! Ha! Anyway, love the blocks and the early educational value of them. When shopping for my nephews, I look for things that are fun but educational, and this one hits the mark.

Awesome gift!

These are wonderful blocks, though now our set is a bit out of date since IUPAC approved actual names for four new elements. I doubt my 13-month-old will notice :)

So..... this is ONLY a set of 20 five sided blocks. You will need to purchase 6 WHolE SETS IN ORDER TO BUILD THE ENTIRE PERIODIC TABLE. which is expensive at over 30$ a set... Thankfully, my son had family who each bought one for a birthday collab gift to make the whole set for him And these blocks are WONDERFUl for my 4 year old kiddo to play with. Hes autistic and has savant syndrome so he memorized the periodic table after hearing the periodic table song by asap science 4 times. He was obsessed from there so when I saw these blocks I HAD to have them. There arent many periodic table toys for toddlers as obviously most toddlera dont care at all for this stuff. First I bought the one set of 20 and we loved them. But my son didnt play with them AFTER THE FIRST DAY because he was frustrated that he couldnt build the periodic table fully with them. Unfortunately that made it a gift not really lasting in fun. Until A few months later when we got all 120 elements by having 5 more sets of the blocks and building it took 1.5 hours to put together. With little help from my kiddo. He just excitedly danced around singing as we searched for the blocks and he told us what we needed next and what number was what md the letter abbreviations to look for etc.. and etc. Because of his age and autism though, He doesnt care to sit and FIND anything by looking on multiple sides of blocks for even 5 minutes, let alone 2 hours.... so by himself, HE DOESNT OFTEN touch these blocks. Its too tedious because each block has SEVERAL elements on it and he doesnt have the patience. But With an adult playing with him. Theyre one of his favorite toys. Weve built the table in its entirety twice now. But its very time consuming each time. And we mostly build it while he sings and repeats everything. One more thing.... the element groups? They do not at ALL all correspond by color properly and it bothers my family. All alkali metals should be the same color. All noble gas, the same. All halogens the same color. And so on and so on. The fact that they are not the same color is what makes it ak difficult to out this darn full table together. So is it Worth having? I think so. But thats for us because of my special kiddo who LOVES the periodic table. With a passion. But For most kiddos? Probably not unless they dont care whats on the blocks and are just building towers to knock down. They are pretty lightweight. Kindof sharp. But not heavy really. So for play in that case, these are some VERY expensive blocks to be using to just do that. Plus theres only 20... If uncle goose came out and made these blocks with single elements on each block? Id buy it in a racing HEARTBEAT! (Probably) (not in a pack of only 20 though.) Hope this review helps some parents out there. We enjoy these blocks bottom line. But my son EQUALLY enjoys a printed picture of the periodic table he can sing along to.... so.... I dunno. Hard to say definitively whether I fully recommend.

Fun toy!

Everyone said it is the perfect gift from someone who loves science and wants to give a science-y gift. Perfect for a science teacher as well, was told that they can be something to put around a classroom to get middle school aged children to talk about the elements.
