Crystal Bricks
Like Duplo blocks, but wished they looked like crystal or colored glass? Well, look no further.
<p><strong>Toy Description</strong></p>
<p>Building bricks that connect together. Made of translucent, brightly colored plastic, these let light shine through.</p>
<p>Colors include: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.</p>
<p>This set includes 136 pieces.</p>
<p><strong>Play</strong></p>
<p>Build structures with these alone, or mix in with Duplo blocks.</p>
<p><strong>Observations</strong></p>
<p>Many users got these with the specific desire to use them on a light table, as their translucency makes for a beautiful event. Stacking these on top of one another will decrease the amount of light getting to the higher bricks, but we found that, on average, the bottom four to five bricks will be illuminated when used on a light table.</p>
<p>Though we were not at all happy with the Prism Blocks by ALEX Toys, we will say that the base plates they make work fine with these, and can add another colorful layer when used on a light table.</p>
<p>Using these without a light table is just fine, too. Users enjoyed playing with these all on their own.</p>
<p>Again, these are fully compatible with Duplo blocks, and we like mixing the two sets. Castles and buildings can have stained-glass-looking windows, and winter fortresses can look like they were made from snow and ice.</p>
<p>They arrive in a plastic bucket with a snap-on lid which works well as a reusable storage container.</p>
<p><strong>Care</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Wipe down with a damp cloth</li>
<li>Wash in warm, soapy water</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Parts and Pieces</strong></p>
