Quercetti Tecno Building Toy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My daughter is only three but is fascinated with tools and screwdrivers especially. This is made for a slightly older child but it has worked out really well as family time together as my husband or I have to sit down with her and help her figure out how the shapes fit together and what goes where... and to make sure the pieces didn't go rolling off of the table. The little booklet of ideas is awesome and inspires her to keep pulling out the toy to build something new. Some of the examples in the booklet are a little misleading, we had a little trouble figuring out the sequence of pieces as it only shows a finished structure, not how to get there and then occasionally the pieces didn't quite fit so we improvised, which is a great learning tool though I don't think it was meant that way. My daughter does all of the screwing with each tool by herself so it has been great for her motor skills and also her problem solving as to what piece should get put on next and following a pattern. My only suggestion to the company is to make the holes in the flat pieces all standardized, so that it provides the greatest flexibility on where to place a bolt or screw, we've found that many times we can't quite create what we want because we don't have a hole to use. But overall this is a fantastic learning toy!

Wooden Blocks and Marbles Maze Master Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this set for my 5 year old son for Christmas and he loves it (as do the rest of us). We have played with a variety of other marble runs, both wooden and plastic, and have often been frustrated by how hard they were for my son to assemble by himself, how unsteady they were, or how easily they broke. By contrast, his set has been very satisfying and fun for ages 5-40. It is easy to use, is very stable, and is durable so that my son can design and build marble runs without help. I am already amazed by how inventive he has been.
The blocks are high quality, well-milled hardwoods. Before I made this purchase, I did a lot of research and knew that I wanted one of the higher quality products. I chose this set because it is Made in America (I bought no toys made in China this year), it is very open-ended, and it seemed a good value for the money (I believe in paying for quality). I was not the least bit disappointed (a rare occurrence).
It's worth getting as big a set as you can afford. Initially, I thought my son might be overwhelmed by too many pieces (as he was with his Brio train tracks), so I held back some of the blocks. But the first time we played with it we got out the reserve blocks to build a 3-foot-tall marble run. I find the board to be useful as an even, stable building surface which keeps the marbles from rolling all over the place. If, however, you choose a smaller set that does not include the board, a level wooden carving board with grooves would work just as well. In fact we use one when a second person wants to build a separate maze.
This product is heirloom quality, encourages creativity, is a great lesson in simple physics, and sustains interest as it is different every time. Most importantly it offers tremendous play value if you or your kids like to build or design. Please, do not be fooled by imitations. I am glad I bought the original.

Quercetti Fantacolor Daisy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this for my daughter's 4th birthday, and she loves making up designs with it. It does require half-decent fine motor skills. We have to take it out when her younger sister isn't around, since there are many pegs to lose, but overall, I am pleased with this toy.
