WEDGiTS Starter Imagination Set {Review}
If your kids like to build with blocks and other building materials, then you should really check out the WEDGiTS Starter Imagination Set! This is a great set of colorful shapes which are perfect for little hands to explore and play with.
The Imagination Starter set of building block toys provide six (6) different sized blocks that are all “non-choking”. Sometimes referred to as square donuts the Starter Imagination set has an easy play design that has nesting and stacking features for young hands. With all parts big enough to keep out of a choke tube you are assured of comfortable play for toddlers and older siblings.
These Starter set building blocks assure that there is no wrong way to build. The open-ended design of WEDGiTS building blocks introduce the spatial world of angles, shapes, color patterning, matching and creative play. The WEDGiTS Starter set is compatible with all standard WEDGiTS products making it a toy that will grow with your child.
Each Imagination set comes with a product guide showing ideas of different designs for each child to build. The term “wedgits” came from the toy’s symmetrical design that allows the blocks to actually wedge together using pure friction. (All WEDGiTS sets are 100% compatible.)
Age Recommendation: 2 to 6 years
So these are some neat shaped “blocks” for the lack of a better word, in bright primary colors. They are large enough so even young children who may still explore with their mouth can’t choke on them. And they are specially designed so they fit and lock together in different ways instead of just stacking up and down.
The starter imagination set we played with is just that; to introduce your kid(s) to the toy and then buy other sets as they get older. This set is compatible with the other WEDGiTS sets so you aren’t constantly getting rid of old sets to make way for new ones.
There’s a visual instruction guide included that shows several ideas of how to stack and build with your shapes to make various items. Not every piece is used for every project and that confused one of my grandson’s who believed each piece would always be used. But once he got the hang of it, he was trying to fit this piece with that one; sometimes it worked and sometimes we’d have to work on the balance of the pieces instead of just fitting them together.
This is a quiet time toy from the standpoint it doesn’t make noise or have bells and whistles. However, the sound of blocks falling over (and they did often) can make quite the commotion LOL!

I always love toys that encourage kids to use their imaginations and be creative; this looks like something definitely worth buying, thanks for posting!
We love Wedgits! Our sets don’t have the straight white pieces, though. I wonder if those are available separately? We have a base board, the card set, and two sets of Wedgits.
