Bought these for my one year old and we both love them. They're great and I would definitely recommend as there are just so many ways to play with them. He loves them now as they're the perfect size for little hands but too big to choke on! He can chew on them, learn his colours, stack and thread them, they spin and roll and clank and move, they're great threaded on and good in a pile and small enough to be versatile so they can be slipped into a bag for a bit of entertainment 'on the move', would recommend - think these are great and will have a long shelf life too. Super product.
