Different versions of this product
Should you toddler have Music Blocks? Yes--if you want to encourage the music/math part of their brain and have a lot of fun in the process. Now, the question is which version to buy?

In October 2002, Neurosmith released two new versions of its acclaimed Music blocks toy, but neither made it to stores before the Christmas season. The 2.0 Music Blocks sold here, is a new, less expensive version than the Original Music Blocks. The body is smaller, and there is only one speaker instead of two (Neurosmith says the sound quality is the same). It comes with on-board music, but no cartridges (Original Music Blocks came with a Motzart cartridge). It does have a slot for add-on cartridges if you purchase them separately. Other toy retailers will sell the remainder of their Music Blocks Original, and then start selling Music Blocks Maestro. The Maestro version will be more expensive than the 2.0, have two speakers, and come with a 3-in-1 cartridge that plays three different types of music. Neurosmith is also clearing out the older cartridges and introducing a line of 3-in-1 cartridges.

Which is right for you will depend on whether you can find Music Blocks Original on sale, and whether you have other Neurosmith toys that can use the cartridges (Jumbo Music Block and Music Ball). Although the product does not promise to have cartridges, the version I ordered here in January 2003, included 2 bonus cartridges (Mary Poppins and Rhythms of the World). I don't know how long the cartridges will be included, or whether they all include the same cartridges, but it made this a great value!

My son loves this!!!
Our 2 year old received this for Christmas and he loves it. Actually my husband and I get a kick out of it too. You can also teach colors and shapes just using the blocks. Composing your own music is lots of fun. We've not had any problems with this toy not being durable. I am now shopping for more cartridges...

great toddler toy
My 16-month-old received this gift from Santa for Christmas. so far it has been the hit toy. She is able to move the blocks around to make the different musical sounds and is able to start the music herself. So far this toy seems to be withstanding all of her tough play and the music quality is great. Not only does she like it, but Mozart is much easier to listen to the 100th time around than some of the other choices. I also like the fact that the product has a phone number to order replacement parts (just in case she destroys one of the blocks). All in all, a great toy that teaches exactly what it claims to teach while being easy enough for a young child.
