I bought this for my son's 2nd birthday and he likes screwing and unscrewing the pieces into different designs. He especially likes the yellow pieces( his fav. colour). I like that it helps refine fine motor skills of finger dexterity and bilateral coordination. I am glad that is is eco-friendly an child safe. Highly recommend. Fits nice in pocketbook and diaper bag too. Keeps him busy at doctor's office, restaurants, and anywhere else you don't want them wondering around. Plan Toys is one of the few "e-zero" companies.

Well made product, no rough or dangerous edges. My son is 2 yrs old and has a hard time screwing the pieces on, but that is the whole point, in time his dexterity and coordination will get better.I think he will have a lot of fun wit these over the next year or two :)

My daughter's are 12 months and almost 3 years old. We previously purchased my daughter a workbench type toy but she never seemed interested in it. We purchased this as a travel toy...meaning something to take along on a long plane ride. She LOVED it. She kept unscrewing and rescrewing the pieces on in different patterns. It was nice that they included two bolts as my younger daughter likes to hold the other...not interested in the act of screwing the pieces on or off yet. I love the fact that it is a larger toy, I thought they would be smaller, but they are a good weight as well and I don't have to worry about it being a choking hazard for the younger one. The only thing is that I wish it included more pieces to screw on and off. I would definitely buy it again as a present for another child.

I think this is a wonderful learning toy and bought it for my son at around 20 months of age. It was a little advanced for him at that age, and even at 36 months, he rarely plays with it, despite being very "mechanically-minded". We have a lot of Plan toys & this one probably has gotten the least amount of play time. I still love it though! But my toddler recommends the cactus game over this toy.

WOW despite the other reviews, I thought these would be on the smaller side - a nice travel toy to keep busy while away from home but they may be too big for that. They are much bigger than I thought they would be - they are more like building block sized pieces. Love the toy & very nice quality.

Bought this for my 19 month old. I keep them in the car for her to tinker with. They are quite large, so no worries about choking hazards at all. With a baby sister on the way, that was a huge plus. The quality is really impressive and the colors are wonderful. Plus, safe water-based stains make this a reassuring buy. Plan Toys is a great company and we have severals toys from them. I am always impressed by the quality and how they rate superior in safety tests!

I bought this toy for my 22-month old son but he has not been as engaged with it as he has been with other Plan Toys. I think that the turning motion required for it is still beyond him. The toy is great quality. It is very durable and visually appealing. My son has enjoyed holding onto the round tops and carrying them around. I know, not quite the sort of toy most parents are looking for, but I don't blame the toy. I can see my son, in a few more months when he is ready, contentedly screwing the different colored shapes together.

Cute, durable....bigger then it looks! A quiet toy, that my son will tinker with throughout the day. Sometimes he seems confused at what it is or does, so I refer to it as a puzzle.

I have no idea how my niece will like it (it's a Christmas present), but *I* love it, and so does my father. The toy is incredibly well-made, of ingenious design, and bigger than it appears in the pictures. I can hardly wait to see what my niece does with it. If I can, I will post an update about this product.

I bought this as a gift for my 20 month-old nephew, but just before we wrapped it, I let my 3.5 and 5 yr olds "test-drive" it. I was pleasantly surprised to see that even at their ages, the toy presented a bit of a dexterity challenge to my kids. I was also impressed at the wide range of things you can turn these 8 pieces into--the box has photos of several different examples. My nephew played with it repeatedly after opening it, so hopefully it will be a toy that he returns to often over the next few years.
