My grandson's favorite Xmas gift. It was first on his list. He started building right after he opened it. Nothing else mattered.

My eight year old grandson constantly builds ramps and architectural designs every day. He enjoys himself without the television on. He creates and imagines for hours on his own.

This product is basically a bunch of slats of wood in a bag. Why hasn't anyone figured this out before? Genius! My son (and I) love it!

We were excited about this gift for our 6 year old. He loves to build with Legos, Tinker Toys, Lincoln Logs so it seemed a good fit. But I think the pictures make it look far more fun than it really is. Just a bunch of wooden blocks, all the exact same size. No interest for a 6 year old. Hasn't looked at it again since Christmas....don't think it will ever get used.

Our 9 year old received this for Christmas, and I couldn't be happier that this has intrigued him. The creations are endless. He seems to be really enjoying this set.

Such a disappointment. The photos in the catalog show very cool contraptions you build with this set. My son put this at the top of his Christmas list. The point of failure: each block is exactly the same with no way to 'lock' them together. You are building a house of cards. My son is a whiz with legos, erector sets, etc. but this set is full of frustration. It's too easy for the whole thing to fall apart. The trough for marbles to run down like in the catalog? How the heck are you going to get blocks of wood to hold in place like that? For $90, you get a bag of identically shaped wood pieces that don't hold together. Unfortunately, this was an expensive bust.

Grandkid loves these little wooden planks for bldg bridges, etc. Planks are well sanded and splinter free, and seem to be dimensionally perfect. Great gift for kids.

This was undoubtedly my 9 year olds most played with Christmas gift this year. He spent lots of time building structures from the booklet as well as his own creations. He even engaged several other children AND adults in building. Awesome and well worth the money!

This is one of the most popular toys I have ever purchased! My grand kids have spent hours building with this set.
