Superstructs BIG Builder

I purchased this as a Christmas present for my 3-year old. She loves building the construction vehicles shown in the instructions as well as her own creations. Her first time building one of the construction vehicles took quite a bit of time as well as some assistance from dad. A few of the pieces were difficult to put together, but after they have been "broken in" a bit, she can assemble them herself with ease. The instructions were also a little difficult for her to follow entirely on her own, but after the first time or two, she learned to follow them easily. She built the dump truck for the second time last week, and it has stayed together since then with some minor modifications. She's using it to tote her Barbie clothes!The graphic instructions are a great teaching tool, and so is the ability to make something that actually works. This set rates high on my "educational value" scale, and I highly recommend it. I think she will enjoy it even more as she gets a little older.

My son plays with this daily. He's 2.5 years old. He needs some help taking apart pieces sometimes because they fit tightly, but this is necessary so that the things he builds will stay together and he can play with them. He builds all kinds of machines that roll on wheels. It allows for a lot of creativity and he never builds the same thing twice. It's fun for mom and dad also to construct with him. I just bought another set to go along with this one, so that we can build larger, even more complex machines. Awesome toy and very educational!!!

For the last two years I can't buy enough of these. They don't play with any other toys except matchbox cars but that to run over the ramps they make with these babies. A few pieces do break on occasion, but hold up pretty well under my crew's rowdy play. The plastic used by this brand is a little quicker to break than the old tinker toys, but you can't find those anymore. They do work with the old tinker toys too, but some connecting pieces are tighter than others

The kids love playing with these superstructs. What I love is that they are plastic and easy to clean. Better than the old wooden tinker toys. I would buy them again

This came with many pieces that allowed the kids to build numerous items which was great. It really allowed them to show their imagination.

So glad to find these my grandson favorite thing to play with easy to build with plus can add to his other set.

We bought this for our 4 year old son who likes trucks, and likes to build. What could be better than a toy that lets you build trucks? The pieces are extremely difficult to put together. I'm a carpenter with a fair amount of hand strength, and I couldn't take some of the pieces apart. The sad part is that you can't build the item in the instructions unless you push the pieces together all the way. If you don't push them together all the way, they won't line up with the next part, so there's really no away around the fact that you have to really jam them together. In short, my son can't play with them. Very disappointed.

He loves it!
