With all the toys my nine year old grandson received, he gave me a special thank you for getting this for him. His latest achievement is to use all 200 pieces in one project.

Big hit with the 6 year old and the daddy. Lots of hours spent building.

My 8 year old son and I have had a wonderful time creating contraptions. It is a wonderful item for us to work together.

Our whole family is loving this game. Our kids ages 4,11,13and 16 have been building contraptions everywhere. We're already thinking of getting another set or more planks to make our creations larger and more complicated. The book that is included gives you tons of ideas and is clear and easy to build from. It is better than any of the marble track systems we've had and has the bonus of the planks which are a great toy on their own.

Excellent for a gifted 9-yo boy who is obsessed with building. But doesn't work too well on carpet.

My daughter loves these. She builds things constantly with this set she got for Christmas. It is just a large quantity of wooden planks with building ideas, so it is a little pricey, but worth it to see all the creations she likes to build.

Contraptions was the first gift that my 9 year old grandson opened and began to play with first on Christmas Day. He played for over 2 hours that day and still plays with it daily.

fragility and precariousness of structures was somewhat frustrating. Would be better if they hooked together somehow.

While 200 wood planks might not seem too exciting, Contraptions is one of the coolest creative building sets with which my family has ever played. We want more... 200 isn't enough and we're actually fighting over them. Structurally, they're amazing not only to feel, but also in strength. Using all 200 blocks, we were able to build a tower that was nearly 4ft tall and was able to support my 7 year old while she sat on the top. (I have photos!) Awesome product.

We love the un-tech aspect of your products. This is going to be one of our all-time favorites. Both boys (8 and 10) and their parents are having a great time working together on these contraptions.

I was disappointed. I thought the blocks would fit together rather than just balance on each other. I have Kapla blocks and have built ramps with them but wanted something more stable, which this looked like from the box and the description. My 7 year old grandson was so excited but frustrated because he couldn't build the suggested ramps. I could hardly do it myself. A lot of money for a very difficult-to-build ramp system.

Really amazing. We bought it for my 8-year-old stepson - but all of us adults had fun with it too. Just beware that it can take some patience to build the taller towers - he got a little frustrated when things toppled.

We got these for our 9 year old for Christmas. He and his older 11 year old brother are loving them. As soon as they finish their homeschool work, they are off upstairs to create new structures. They are thrilled with them!
