Better Than Ever!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a grandmother who is quickly approaching 70, I so appreciate that toys like this Tinkertoy Retro Plastic Box Set are available for purchase. My grandchildren have several "instant gratification" push a button or click a mouse type toys, most of which end up isolating them from interacting with their siblings. Much like the original wooden Tinkertoy Sets, this 100 piece set offers a variety of 13 different interlocking shapes to stir my grandchildren's imaginations. There are enough of each shape that more than one child can build something at the same time. Tinkertoy offers 15 building ideas with instructions, but I find that my grandchildren prefer to build their own creations. I appreciate that the pieces are now made of sturdy plastic. I can easily clean and sterilize them when the kids are done playing. I also like that their eye / hand coordination and manual dexterity are being improved every time they take the pieces out of the sturdy storage box. The pieces are a bit larger than the original wooden sets, making them easy for smaller hands to manipulate. NOTE: Some of the smaller pieces could be choking hazards. There is a warning on the box which states that they do Not recommend use by children under the age of 3 yrs old. A+++
