I enjoyed my Girder & Panel so much as a kid, I couldn't pass up buying one for a nephew.

In each set are a couple of bases to build from, many columns to build up with, and many beams to span with. You can cover your structure with the panels, there are different styles of panels as well.

These are a giant step up from Lego's, which are darn fun in their own right--but this let's children build a 'real' building.

Easy to put together, sturdy; and easy to take back apart.

It also allows children to realize how gravity affects buildings as they begin to span out and the unsupported structure begins to sag.

Tekton is challenging, but not too difficult for a seven year old. I have given Tekton to my grandson over several years because he continues to ask for them. The pieces are user-friendly to assemble and encourage individual designs beyond those shown in the packaging. Please see my review of the Tekton Truss Bridge for further comments.
