    Learning and Playing

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the STEM Explorers Bridge Builders set for free in exchange for a review from BzzAgent, and I'm sure glad we did. Our whole family has had so much fun with this set. This is great for learning about structure as well as playing and creating. The instruction cards give types of bridges and examples. The instructions could be a bit more detailed though, and tell which direction each type of piece should go. Some of the pieces are difficult to snap together especially for smaller hands. This set has already brought hours of fun for our family. Our 8-year-old daughter has been able to build all 8 bridges with a little help from mom or dad. She has also created some structures of her own. Great for play as well as challenging the brain and learning about types of structures. I would definitely recommend this kit and we plan on buying some of the other kits that Learning Resources offer.

    Great Leaning Product!!!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I got this product I gave to my 11 year old granddaughter and told her to pick a design and build it. I told I wasn't going to help her to see how well she could learn it on her own. She picked the tower design and started building it follow the instructions and pictures of the completed tower. It took her about a half hour to complete the tower design and surprisingly, called her 3 years old brother to help her build one. Watching him concentrate was amazing. They ended up finishing a bridge together. Now he thinks he can do them on his own. Definitely wouldn't let him do it on his own. Finally, her 6-year-old sister helped build one and she also had fun doing it. I definitely recommend for 6 year and above age range. It's a great learning experience and they have fun building them.

    Fun activity

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this gift in exchange for my honest review from Bzzagent. This was a fun little activity for my son. He could actually play with this alone without needing much assistance. Easy instructions and can be played with over and over.

    Perfect for little hands

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 6 year old loved this Stem Bridge Explorers kit! Each bridge you can build comes with an info card pertaining to different types of bridges as well as straightforward step by step directions for building. It was just the right amount of play/learning combo. The pieces easily snap together and are of great quality where they don't bend. If I could add anything to this, it would be more cards and more bridges! My son whipped through them all in less than an hour. He now uses them for free building and has made some pretty cool car ramps out of it. We love imaginative play here! Learning Resources has always been a favorite educational brand of mine. I have 3 children and the wide variety they have for each age group is spectacular. They were so kind to send me this free sample through BzzAgent sampling program.

    Cool

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 8 year old had lots of fun playing, but he had some trouble connecting the piece together it was hard for me too to connect the pieces. Other than that it's a lot of fun. Would definitely recommend and it's appropriate for children 9 and up.

    My son is loving it!!!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently got this STEM explorers Bridge Builders from Learning Resources for my 7 year old son. He loves this toy and it keeps him entertaining for long times. It is very sturdy and it is very easy to build and there are a lot of options that the kids can think of. The quality of this toy is very good, it is very well made. It does not easily break. It is such a great learning game. We are loving it and we do not have any complaints so far. And yes, we would absolutely recommend this toy to our friends, family and colleagues.

    Bridge builders!!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a bit daunting to look at right out of the box, but got easier as we started tinkering with it. My son is 7 and was a bit annoyed at first but got more into it as we went on. There's quite a few pieces and you absolutely have to read the instructions to do it. I would have liked a more customizable option but it was still a lot of fun to build different bridges and see how they work!

    Kept the kids busy for hours.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The kids loved this so much! They were busy for hours building all different kinds of bridges from the suggested builds book! They worked together and actually got along! I loved this toy because it got them off screens for a few hours and made them think of how they could build different bridges and make changes to the current build.
