I must've been sleep deprived when I pulled the trigger when these were featured as an Amazon Lightning Deal item, because I thought they were Lincoln Logs. They're actually pretty good quality logs - very sturdy and have withstood my 2 year old's abuse. The wood are finely cut/pressed and after a thorough inspection, can say with surety that there are absolutely no splinters or any dangerous bits poking about. I've caught my dogs chewing on a couple of them so if your kids end up neglecting the logs or relegating them to the abandoned toys section, they work pretty good as doggy chew sticks.
