1-2-3 Build It

Great Christmas present for my Grandson

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This toy was a fun addition to my 2 year old sons love of putting things together. I like that there aren't 50+ pieces and that pieces are re-used in different ways to form other things. I didn't like that the wheels were really not functional though. Overall I would buy it again

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 2 year old loved this at first. He loves trains and helicopters, so this kept him busy for an hour or so. But after a few times playing with it, he grew bored of it and now it sits on the shelf. We do have a different model and that one got just the same use. As far as ease of use, he can't quite follow directions (though they are so very simple for an adult), but the pieces go together nice and easily, so he was able to put it together with our instruction and guidance. I would definitely consider this an educational toy.... perhaps a side step from Legos...but it also encourages a kid's imagination. You can follow the directions or not and the pieces still fit together. The quality of the pieces are sturdy, as well, and hold up well to a toddler's handling/abuse. The toy is recommend for ages 2+, but I'd be comfortable giving it to even a one year old. Overall, a good toy, but lacks in long-term intrigue.

The little man does not fit into the hole on the train where he is meant to sit (as per pictures). This means he falls out when the train is pushed around

Toddler loves wheels and this is great since it's convertible
