Oompa Colorful Alphabet Blocks from Bajo Review & Giveaway




Every baby or toddler should have a set of wooden blocks. It's a absolute must. If  you're in the market for a set of blocks for your little one, your first stop should be Oompa.  They have a great selection of blocks in all shapes and sizes as well as unique gift ideas for any other baby or toddler in your life.  You can find art supplies, toys, furniture strollers, and more. And shipping is free is you spend over $65.


For my review, I recived the Colorful Alphabet Blocks from Bajo. Since my baby isn't here yet and my other children are a little old for blocks, I had my friend bring over her two little girls. They both loved stacking and playing with the big colorful blocks. They are beautifully painted, with lead free paint, and extremely well made. The one criticism I would have is that they only came in a cardboard box. It would be nice to have something a little sturdier for storage. I know that they are going to wind up thrown all over the house eventually.  Aside from that, they are the perfect blocks for babies and small children.


Oompa is definitely a company you want to keep bookmarked for Christmas and birthdays. The blocks are great, but there are lots of other items I would love to have from Oompa.  Here are just a few more of the things that are on my wish list:





Oompa was generous enough to offer another set of Colorful Wood Blocks to one of my readers.
