4.0 out of 5 stars Fun For An Asperger's Child, January 1, 2008

My 5 year old son with Asperger's enjoys this toy. He likes to put puzzles together and this satisfies his need to put together and pull apart. While not as challenging as puzzle, the flashing lights hold his attention longer than I think it would without lights and the spiral/design stickers. What is also a plus is that my 7 month old loves to watch her brothers put this together and put it into motion. The pieces are sturdy and snap together firmly and operate smoothly. This is a fun toy, however, for older children it doesn't provide as much stimulation as, say, Legos.

I don't know why there are so many complaints. My five and nine year olds really enjoy this; we've had no issues at all with quality. For those parents who don't want to spend quality time with their kids building things, then you probably shouldn't get it. My five year old has surprised me, though, with what he can build on his own. A unique, fun toy!

Great toy...the kids left for their bedroom and started creating immediately. My nephew took it to all the family gatherings and all the cousins love it. The best part...it took them away from the video games for at least 4 days. All my other nephews want one now. Great Toy...even the fathers got into it with thier kids.
