3 Year Old Grandson Loves Them!
Mindware products have always been a great choice. These were purchased for a three year old grandson who is very adept at looking at a picture, and putting things together from it, in addition to, thinking up his own patterns and uses. He enjoys them!

Slightly overpriced
I like that this product challenges a child to think boosting thinking skills, but for $14.95 I expected a little more. I think a more appropriate price fo this product would be $10.95.

Very disappointing!!
Very disappointing!! While this product is a solidly made product it completely misses the mark. The sticks are too small for age group it is marketed for. The entire package is only about 6x6 and the sticks themselves are only about 6" long. They arent big enough or abundant enough to build much at all. The value of the product is terrible. So disappointed!

Nice but stiks too small
While this is a very nicely made product, it misses the mark. The sticks are (imho) too small for the intended age group. This was a gift for my grandson. I am seriously considering re-manufacturing the sticks to a slightly larger size to better suit a 4 year old.

Great to make them think
Bought this for an Easter Basket and it was great. My grand daughter is 5 and it was great to watch her problem solve to build what was on the card. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or purchase this product.

Game quality as expected
Hope my grandchild will enjoy this as much as the excitement when it was opened. Pieces were what I expected.
