Thank you! I always wondered if the large blocks would worth the big price, and now, that my son has 4 years old and still plays with wooden blocks, I think I will purchase them.

Our local Aldi sold off brand Wobbles and pikler triangles for $65. Got the full set ❤️‍🔥

[soniatriana]

Wow! I like your calm presentation style & how easy going/natural your voice & tone are! Plus, I enjoyed hearing your recommendations! Your plat room looks great! Thank you!

Got a Nugget for my daughter for her 3rd bday at the end of the month. So excited to give it to her!

Wow! A video worth watching. Almost all the vids I see are brand new, haven't been tried and tested, or it's toys like the new Barbie car. Thank you! You've done a lovely job. ❤

Thank you. Your advice and insight are very helpful as I decide what to make/buy for our grandson.
Best wishes from the UK

I really enjoy your channel. You have such honest and relevant information. Thank you so much for taking the time to create such great content.

Loved this! I’ve never invested in Grimms but have always wondered if it was worth it! I was really excited about the wobble board but I think that is definitely our least played with big item.

[agrubbs]

Yay thanks so much. Was deciding whether to get my 15 no old a grimms for Xmas or wait. Glad to see I can wait!

[hollyspeckle]

Good to check the ethics and sourcing policies of different brands- to check cheaper brands are still sourcing wood sustainably/paying people fair wages etc. Quality over quantity ✨

[priscillahernandez]

Oh man I had just convinced myself we didn’t need a Grimms block set and now I’m back to feeling like we do 😅😂 I loved hearing your opinion on these items! The Nugget is absolutely loved and used every day here too, not just for play but also for lounging, so I’m glad we splurged on it :)

[MariaandMontessori]

I really appreciate the honesty of this video! We don't have anything except the Nugget on this list but I've always wondered whether all these 1 year olds actually utilize these enough to be worth the investment. I was more familiar with preschoolers using them! Have you found the Nugget gets more use now that it's 2? Ours is definitely well loved but I do wish we could do more with it 🤔

I think the gorilla glue on that marble tree gives it so much character honestly ! Haha...looks pretty cool actually. I’m kinda just at this point where I’m over everything being ‘esthetically’ appealing & PERFECT all the time with kids toys because they just don’t seem to care at all about that stuff the way we parent do 😆😉 plus they outgrow things so quick I’ve found, none of it lasts forever or stays like new, has to get some good love then the kids actually enjoy it more 👍 maybe that’s just how my kids are at least

There’s a video on YouTube about using the wobble board with the nugget to make a huge rocking horse situation

We love our rainbow even though it’s not Montessori, I’m debated getting the half circles to build dollhouses and things with them. We also have those scarves and they’re a huge hit between my 1 and three year old as they get played with everyday. We don’t have a nugget as we don’t have the space but we got a Piklar for a great deal. It is a bit smaller though, it would be more fun if we had space for a slide. I’ll probably sell it after my son outgrows it. My 3.5 year old likes to climb on it and jump off the top, so she still enjoys it. I’ve been eyeing that ball rainbow toy at Green Elephant as they have it for a good price. I wish I could find those blocks used.

So funny because we have a wobbel board and my 19 month old loves it and plays with it everyday. We don’t have a nugget or a pickler though since we don’t have room. I chose the name brand because it was made out of solid wood (instead of engineered wood) so it can hold much more weight and can be used even by adults.

Thanks!!
Also you can use a small chisel to get rid of the dripping gorilla glue. Just be careful but I've had to chisel off dry gorilla glue many times.😵‍💫

[crowatheart]

Such a great video! I have a one year old and I had to physically restrain myself from buying the Grimm's Wooden Rainbow, the Grimm's blockset, and Grapat loose parts for her first Christmas. I am making myself wait until she is three. I am definitely someone who buys things too early and I want to make sure she will actually play with the things that come into our home, as we are very short on space.

Hello. Do you have the link for the scarves? I did not see it in the comments. All the best 😊

[ladedacandy]

Hey. I clicked on your link for the play scarves, but it says sorry we can’t find the page. Can you please tell me the brand name and size. So I can look them up elsewhere to buy. Thank you. 😊
