When my 20-month-old son started unscrewing the handles on the dresser drawers, I knew he needed a screw toy. This toy fit the bill perfectly. It engages him for 10-15 minutes at a time and is compact enough to stash in the diaper bag. The little screw driver is in storage for a few more months, but the screw heads are blocky enough to be easily turned by hand. He enjoys the exercise of color matching the screw and the hole. One of the holes had a flaw in its boring and was too tight for my son to turn. I screwed the screw in and out a few times, added a drop of mineral oil and it now works fine. This is the first toy I've bought by this manufacturer, but given the generally high quality of construction, it will not be the last.

My son has had this toys since he was 22 months and he loves it. Not to mention, I have 10 year olds and adults who love playing with it too. It is great to have when you are waiting for food, MD appointment, etc. Works on fine motor skills, and keeps the little ones busy. My only gripes would be that some of the screws were a little difficult to use at first and that it is a little on the large size but I think if it was smaller it might be too difficult for little hands. While other 2 year olds are throwing temper tantrums, mine is quietly playing with this toy.

I don't know any child who doesnt enjoy twisting, turning, & taking apart things. This has been a hit for months at our house, its periodically forgotten for a day or two and rediscovered with great delight. The construction is very well made, everything is smooth and the parts are well painted. The screwdriver may be a little difficult for little hands to get out initially, but everything else, provided they're turning the screws the right way, is easy :).
