SHAWE Building Blocks Kids Educational STEM Toys Building Discs Sets Interlocking Solid Plastic for Preschool Kids Boys and Girls, Safe Material - Package with Storage Bag

A really great creative building toy that help with fine motor and imagination.

We were looking for creative toys for our second son (3 yo), scratching our heads wondering what to get him as his older brother (now 5) has been handing him down - or *sometimes* sharing - his toys. And that one has A LOT of imaginative toys. They are both boys' boys. Engineers st heart, they spend their days building with their Magna Tiles, Legos, and Wedgits whole cities which they populate with their Happyland people, Playmobil, Christmas string lights and whatever else they can find around the house. They also enjoy playing with trains and solving puzzles. This toy was a hit, not just because of the beautiful colours, but a bit like the beloved Magna Tiles, the creative opportunities it offers. They can make wonderful shapes with these. They are very good quality with a nice weight to them and easy to handle by little fingers. Challenging enough without being too difficult for the 3 yo. Both the 5 and 3 yo love them. Their 1 yo sister is also enjoying the colours and touching the shapes. Finally, I'm so happy that a company has thought about storage of their toy. All of the toys in our playroom are stored in drawstring bags made by us and this just fits right in - saves me having to make a bag for it. Clever through and through and highly recommended.

Really love these, well made and easier enough for a 5 year old to use. Great for use of fine motor skills. Fantastic as a fidget for ASD/ADHD really helped with anxiousness, agitation and boredom. Liked the fact a few could be kept in pocket rather than taking the whole bag. Well made and durable. The bag has ripped after first opening but feel thats a small price to pay for such a good item. Useful for any child or adult not just for ASD/ADHD use. They are definitely soothing and addictive! Best thing I found to help ADHD/ASD child this year.

Great for kids learning shapes, colours, adding , building and fun

Purchased for my 5-year old Godson who has cerebral palsy. He has to exercise the weaker side of his body every day and these toys will be great in encouraging and assisting him to do that. The pieces are attractive, bright colours and extremely well-made. They also require some effort to push together which will be ideal in persuading him to use both hands. The ample-sized storage bag also appeals to me, as all of the pieces can be neatly and safely stored after use. The bag is a high quality, very tactile material, that looks like it will survive the onslaught of a 5-year old!Interestingly, my 16 year old daughter who loves Lego and construction toys didn't want me to send these as a Christmas present to my Godson as she was having too much fun playing with them herself! She's now also requested a set, so I guess I can recommend them for all ages.Might even be interesting as an office desk toy to encourage creativity and ward off boredom!

Great blocks but smaller to what I thought they would be .They are quite small for little hands

Others have noted that the pieces require some strength to click together and pull apart, and I would agree that younger children may have problems playing solo.To the age of 7, my child project managed whenever we played with these. I was instructed which colour to put where (and sometimes reprimanded for not working fast enough!). Now 8, my child lets me play a more equal role as connecting the pieces does not usually cause problems.We have had a lot of fun predicting how many pieces long items around the house are and building lines to check.A toy with real longevity as there are new ideas each time we get the bag out. Still just as popular as when purchased. Would recommend.

This is exactly as seen in the picture, though perhaps the pieces were smaller than I had imagined (though that's not the fault of the seller). It arrived very promptly, without too much packaging, so quite eco-friendly from that point of view. This is a gift for my great-niece and was on her wish list, so I think it might be quite a popular little toy. Very colourful and requires a little dexterity and imagination to use it, which makes it more of a learning opportunity. The pieces feel sturdy. It packs down very small, so will save space in the toy cupboard. I had a very nice email from the company after delivery enquiring if all had gone smoothly; always a nice touch.
