5.0 out of 5 starsWant to get your kids using their creative side and playing independently? These are great to foster independent play and can be used with the youngest learners even to adults. We love to sit and build our own creations and help the kiddos follow directions to build their own. Very durable and long lasting. I’ve used these in my kindergarten classroom for years. My preschooler uses them as well. Great fine motor practice for younger kids.Great fun and educational toy

- Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2025I've been looking for this after seeing it at my kid's daycare. He loved playing with it and never wanted to leave when it's time to go. So, I decided to get a set where he can play and build at home. It did not disappoint even though there was a defective piece. I was expecting bigger sized chips because the ones at the daycare was double the size, also a different brand not found on Amazon. The best part is it's able to bring the creativity and imagination out of the kids and away from screen time for hours!

- Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2023I got this toy for my granddaughter who is 3 years 9 months old.
The storage bucket is pretty good, with a screw-on lid so things inside will STAY inside. The handle on the lid had a tendency to come loose, but that's not a huge issue. There were plenty of "flakes" in the bucket, in a nice variety of colors.
The flakes themselves are pretty solid. They are large enough that I think it would be "difficult" for a child to choke on one, but smaller children should still be supervised. The flakes fit together by connecting slots, and snap together firmly. Each flake has 8 slots positioned evenly around the edge (so "north", "northeast", "east", "southeast", "south", "southwest", "west", and "northwest"). The sizes aren't perfect - if you attach 8 flakes to a central one, then 8 more to an outer ring, they will overlap very slightly, but not enough to make an issue. All construction will use "octagonal" forms rather than "hexagonal" which is probably easier for kids to understand. It means that structures will naturally build right angles and straight lines.
The paper instructions included excellent step-by-step directions for 3 structures, showing exactly how many pieces of each color were needed and how to fit them together. There were pictures of a dozen or so other structures that could be built, with several noting that you needed more than one "bucket" to make them in the colors shown. The instructions for those items were accessible by QR-code from the manufacturer website, so not ideal for kids but reasonable especially if you were to print them ahead of time.
My grandkid (not quite 4 years old) is not quite up to the recommended 5-year point but was able to connect the flakes herself into a simple straight line and then disassemble it again, but didn't quite grasp the nuance of 2-dimensional building strategy. She's probably a little too young to really appreciate them but will grow into them over the next few months. Nonetheless, she was able to use them adequately. I look forward to many years of building in the future.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2025I can't say enough good things about these! My boys (4 and 7 years old) have a set at their grandma's, and love them. They come up with all kinds of designs. I liked them so much, I got them for my 5th grade classroom. My students loved them for indoor recess days! My girls built a flower garden and stashed a ton of flowers on the bookcase for half the year. Great creative toy for a wide range of ages!

5.0 out of 5 stars OTTIMO PER LA CREATIVITA'
Gioco davvero ben congegnato e realizzato. Sul libretto e sul loro sito vi sono spiegazioni dettagliate (passo-passo) per la realizzazione di numerosissimi veri e propri capolavori (es.: l'albero). Per il resto, libero sfogo alla fantasia: le mie bimbe di 6 e 10 anni sono andate a costruire le cose più impensabili!
Ottimi materiali e incastri ben fatti: nessuna sbavatura e nessun difetto nei 500 pezzi.
Comoda la scatola per riporli tutti in un minimo spazio.
Consigliatissimo per chi - come me - non si rassegna a ipnotizzare i ragazzi di fronte ai videogiochi ma preferisce stimolarne la creatività.
Venditore e consegna ineccepibili e puntuali.
