What a simple and inexpensive but absolutely brilliant concept building material. My son who is an avid lego builder loves to take these traveling and to restaurants when I don't let him take electronics. The beauty of these is that they are all the same size, softer than legos and easy to handle and come in various colors. I bought a ton of these and after my son makes the whatever theme it comes with, he can take it apart and add it to the other plus pluses and make whatever he wants. It's kind of the equivalent of doodling and because you are not looking for different sizes, its easier to make things without thinking too much and not a big deal if you lose a piece here and there! I put them in a zip lock bag and leave them in the car and my son has a simple building toy wherever we go! These make a good alternative for when you don't always want to rely on electronics and other larger toys away from home.

This puzzle was a bit more complicated to put together than we thought. It may have been easier if we were familiar with the product from previous use. The directions were very hard to understand and my 9 year old got very frustrated with it because it was unclear how to connect the sections. We even searched for videos online to watch how it was put together, but no luck there either. It was fun to just build with the pieces, but we never made a dolphin.

This is probably a better toy for children around seven years old or older. It’s a little more challenging than most Lego sets.The only drawback is that once you’ve built a set, it falls apart easily. The only thing that holds it together is friction. So it’s a little difficult to play with for some children.
