My 6 yr old LOVES this. He is very much into building things with blocks, legos, boxes and whatever he can. The best thing is that he can make ANYTHING, not just one thing. Dad does help him with putting it together, but it is a great activity for BOTH of them. I'm sure in time, my son won't need any help. The plastic materials are safe and sturdy. Very quality product! Very happy customers here!

My son and I love this toy! He will build "things" with it on his own, the pieces go together easily and in any combination he wants. When we play together we can build more elaborate trucks. The toy develops spacial relations as well as fine motor skills, but my son just thinks it's fun. He received it when he turned 5 and I am back for another set as he turns 6 so his creations can get bigger.

I think this erector set is wonderful for creative building. I don't mind that it is not metal as some complain, as my son is only 5. For those who prefer metal, they still make the metal erector set for older children. Once this arrived it came in a large bucket, but the pieces don't even fill it half way. This would be misleading if purchased in a store. 150 pieces seems like a lot but it's not that much (most of the pieces are nuts and screws), and even more disappointing when viewing the large bucket size in comparison. I do like the extra room however so that additional sets can be added to the same container. I am also disappointed that the screwdriver is not the same design shown on the packaging. On the container it appears as a classic and complete screwdriver, but the handle is actually a hollowed out half which is hard to hold. I wasn't even sure if it was the screwdriver at first; I thought for sure I had to find the other half and assemble it, but that is not the case...what it is, is what it is. Either way, my son does enjoy the set and it does have many creative opportunities. I will probably buy more sets so that more can be done with it, though the price is outrageous on all of these.
