Freestylin\\\’

A few months ago I ran a review on the Fischer Price Peek-a-Boo alphabet blocks. It was in the midst of the “Plastic Scare”. I still think plastic waste is horrendous, but I think I was a bit premature in labeling those peek-a-boos as a negative toy. They’re actually kind of amazing. Each letter of the alphabet is represented by a colorful block, of which much of it is transparent. Inside, you can see an object representing that letter. For instance, the letter T has a toy train on the inside. On top of that, you can turn this little latch on the bottom of the block, and it rotates the train.

My toddler enjoys banging them to oblivion right now, but I also get a kick out of them. They look like 26 little boxes waiting to be opened. I wonder when my son will start attempting to smash them open to get to the toys on the inside!
