cossy STEM Learning Toy Engineering Construction Building Toys 208 Pieces Kids Educational Toy for Boys and Girls Ages 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Year Old (208 Pcs)

I put the book on the table, ask the 2year old and 4 year old what they want to make. Once they make the choice, I get the pieces out of the box (I dont let them have access to the box unless it is clean up time) and do the construction with them.They have fun hence the high rating.Only cons would be there aren't enough pieces of the right color(!) to follow some designs to the T. A very minor problem as we could always use other colors, but that does not always fly with a child.And, lastly some pieces do not attach tightly, Given the price of this set I cannot complain.NB: I played with something extremely similar as a child; it was from Germany (I believe it was called Lassy) and high quality (very) but also pricey.

Great little building set that promotes creativity and outside the box thinking. Good quality and good packaging. Even includes a perfect little plastic storage box so you don't have to go get something to keep these building toys in. Only knock I have is they were a little challenging for my kiddos with some developmental delays to figure out at first. That being said, once they got the hang of how to create with them, they were "off to the races". All in all, a great little building toy that is something different then just the plain old building block. (And again,the bin it comes with is a huge plus, great heads up thinking on the producers part!)

My 4 year old grandson loves this set. He dove right in as soon as I opened it and needed very little guidance. These pieces have unique shapes and ways of attaching to each other. There are opportunities to make moving parts in your creation. The pieces are made of sturdy plastic and have a wonderfully convenient and durable storage box. A huge plus to me! As a grandmother and pediatric occupational therapist, I highly recommend this toy.

The media could not be loaded. I bought this set for my 6 year old daughter who loves STEM toys. She immediately dove in and made a ferris wheel. She didn't have any difficulty building. It comes with a booklet of ideas. Some are better than others, as I'm a bit confused by the "commode." The pieces come in a latching plastic container, which is a nice bonus. Overall, it's a nice set, but nothing really stands out as making it better than other STEM sets. It's a nice addition to our collection though.

I homeschool my two girls, my oldest is 5 and my younger is 3. They both really enjoy this set of building toys.The plastic seems like high quality and comparable to other sets similar to this (I had one as a kid! I remember making pinwheels and cars with them in the early 90s!) I'm not concerned that they will crack or wear any time soon. It comes in a nice plastic reusable box, with a snap lid that the kids can open and close them selves. It is so nice to have that carrier, so they can put it away when they are done.My girls are both high energy and prefer running around to sitting and playing. However, I am sitting here with my baby watching the girls in disbelief....they have been at the kitchen table playing with this set for a solid hour!!I am already planning on buying this for friends. Its a great "bang for your buck" (I'm a bit of a cheap skate but homeschooling items tend to be expensive) and I am sure this will last for years to come. For those with multiple children, isn't it nice when the younger ones can inherit toys?5/5 stars, I don't see any cons. It was a major win for us!I have also been really impressed with the customer service of this company. I bought a wooden walker for my 1 year old and it squeaked a bit. I contacted them and they confirmed it was a manufacture error and immediately sent me a brand new one (that was perfect). So anyway, I didn't have any issues with this set but if you did, they are so incredibly easy to work with and helpful. Im ordering more of their building sets!

We gave this 208 piece cossy Stem Learning Toy Engineering Construction Building Blocks set as a Christmas gift to a 7 year old boy who was placed with our daughter and her family for respite foster care during the week between Christmas and New Year. He was delighted with this gift and despite his usual short attention span for doing one activity, spent over an hour at at time building some of the pictured projects as well as creating ones of his own. This was the perfect gift for him. This is a great set and allows for a lot of creativity and imaginative building. You will not go wrong with purchasing it for a child in the listed age group.

My 4 yo son really enjoys playing with these! I do have to say that the directions aren’t the easiest for a 4 yr old to follow, but it just turns into family projects which is fine too! I love that he can also just use his imagination and build anything he wants. Yesterday he made phones for his brother and himself and they walked around the house pretending to talk on the phone to each other. As a teacher, I appreciate toys that are not over stimulating and teach kids to play independently and creatively.
