Definitely worth getting the set with more planks. Suitable even for children younger than 7.

Our son loves this toy. Easy to use (getting use to building with the loose blocks kinda tough at times) but he loves all the things he's made. Has kept our son occupied for quite some time.

My son got Contraptions as a birthday gift and he hasn't stopped playing with it. Even my older sons have skipped playing video game to build with the contraptions.

I purchased this item for my 10 yr old granddaughter. She loves it and plays with it all the time. She was changing the designs that come with the product almost from the first time she played with it. It's great to watch her imagination take charge. Good product!

Need to improve the packaging. It is not very easy for a 5 years old kid to store all the planks back into the box. Instructions need to be more kids friendly.

When you open the box, it's just identical pieces of wood and the price seems high for what you get, but my 9 year old and 12 year old have spent hours building and creating with these and it has proved to be well worth the money spent.

As always, the Keva planks are great fun, providing hours of open-ended play. The 'contraptions' label is a bit misleading, as this product is nothing more than regular Keva planks, with the addition of 2 balls and a great idea book. I ordered this believing that chutes and ramps would be included. Not the case, but since the price was similar to the basic planks, maybe even cheaper, I'm happy we got them. Worth it, just for the idea book!

Perhaps an upper age limit - i.e. - 12 (7-12) would help

love the concept and the fact that it inspires creativity, but I was pretty disappointed when I realized that it is just a box of same sized wooden planks. IMO it's excessively overpriced - for the price there really should be more to it.
