We have had this construction toy in our house for quite some time now, but during the times I got it out for Betty to play with I felt that she wasn't really quite ready for it. She would come up with obscure and challenging things for me and Tom to build with it, and whilst we quite enjoyed doing it, Betty would get bored half way through the construction and wander off. Meanwhile Dolly would sit sucking on the nuts and bolts.
However, Betty has now reached a stage where she literally spends hours playing with it on her own, and is completely immersed in what she is building. As I type now, she is making rather an elaborate 'hoover' with it. This morning she made a caterpillar, and before that a 'funny thing'.
This product is great for their imagination and problem solving skills, and I now have high hopes that there will be at least one person in this house that will be good at DIY.
It is from the Early Learning Centre and costs £35.
