These were recommended to us by my son's Kindergarten complement program because he loves to play with them there. We bought him his own set for Christmas and he uses them constantly. The instruction book is helpful but also has given him ideas for his own contraptions.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Grandson found some frustration when things collapsed when almost done. His father noted that all the boiat d's are not of equal thickness thus causing some imbalance and collapse. Love the creativity.

My two grandsons love them! They are 8 and 5. They love to build dinosaur pens for their toy dinosaurs. The boards stack easily and there are plenty in the 200 box set. My only negative is that they didn't seem as solid as the ones they play with at the public library. Those seemed heavier...maybe different for commercial use? In any case, the boys love them and it encourages imaginative play, so I'm a happy grandma.
Yes, I recommend this product.

The kids love them. In an age of digital dependence, it is encouraging to see my 6 and 8 year old kids building and stacking their ideas into reality. I should have bought one for each because they fight over who gets to use them. Also, the demolition is fantastic!

Purchased this set for 6+ grandson who is into advanced Legos as an alternative to those - he immediately started building a long chute for the ball to descend. I wish there was a way the planks could lock together as to not be so flimsy but that is just part of the overall design....a version with planks that could interlock would be even better and not require such steady hands and people to hold their breath!
Yes, I recommend this product.

purchased this for grand kids friends because my grandsons love them. Altho they play with legos a lot, these are demanding and challenging to build and teach balance and basic physics . The 7 year old boys all love them. Look so simple! can keep them interested for long time. They enjoy building together or home alone. Great gift Can add to sets, as I have done

My children were both skeptical about the set, and only warmed up when I demonstrated a ball track. It was easy to create a simple ball track, which then drew everyone in. Since then, both kids have been experimenting with the planks for hours. Neighborhood kids were also drawn in and were quickly trying out ideas, testing them, and then re-designing their set. It does take patience and precision but the rewards are awesome. I highly recommend this set!

She's basically obsessed with them. I think we'll be getting an expansion pack soon.
