Really, really cute toyDec 22, 2009 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.

Love it, butOct 06, 2009 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.

Great eco-friendly toy for fine motor skillsFeb 28, 2009 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.

Too soon to say...Jan 12, 2009 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.

Great toy! but my son's not interestedJul 27, 2008 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.
