Hi Jeff--

We use these blocks as part of a staffed "indoor recess" in our atrium.
Kids love them, and on our adult night adults loved them, too. They're
holding up well, though we're constantly trying to find better ways to
clean them (kids also eat lunch in the atrium, so there are both higher
standards for cleanliness and more exposure to sticky things than in a
typical exhibit).
