Bloco Toys Marines Creatures | STEM Toy | Shark, Octopus, Piranha, Deep Sea & Tropical Fish | DIY Educational Building Construction Set (235 Pieces)

I bought the FAO Schwartz 75 piece wooden castle set for my 5 year old niece. Wasn't sure how it would go over, but she LOVED it! She opened it right away and dove right in. After building and knocking down several different castles, she made sure that no one took apart the final one - she wanted it to be waiting for her when she woke up the next day. The set is well constructed, and has plenty of pieces to really let you use your imagination. It seems like a toy she that will interest her, and will last, for years to come.

We bought this for our son for his 6th birthday. He likes legos and building and has good manual dexterity. I sat down with him to build some of the sea creatures in the booklet, and I honestly had some trouble figuring out some of the directions. They are not as easy to put together as lego sets, and the directions are not nearly as clear. We made the hammerhead shark and the angler fish. The creatures you create are fun for the kids to play with once they're built, but they don't stay together that well. The pieces are also prone to being destroyed easily, especially by younger orally fixated siblings! They had more fun putting together their own invented animals, but the set has been sitting in a tupperware box (buy one, there are a TON of little pieces to corral) on a shelf and hasn't seen much action for almost a month. I don't think we'll be getting more of these sets.

My son loved these and it's just like a simple puzzle you put together. They do fall apart sometimes, but a fun gift for them to reassemble. We did end up putting a little glue on the pieces as he wanted to just display them and that worked.

These were fun for our busy kids

My grandson is 6 and loved this toy. He needed some assistance putting together the more difficult items. The whale was difficult and we did not get it together right yet. He was able to put it together his own way and did not seem to mind that it did not look like the box model.

This was a requested Christmas gift for my 6-1/2 yr-old grandson. He loves it and spends much time with it. The item was received well packaged and in a timely manner. Keep it away from the dogs -- they think it's dog yummies! Would deal with this vendor again.

I know the manufacturers put a recommended age group on the box, but I have no idea how a 4yo could do this. I had to help my 5yo too, but I had no problem with that, it was a fun joined activity and he loved the end product. Very cute and creative. Of course it's not sturdy but that is to be expected.

Fun toy. I got it for my 4 year old, and he needs help, but he loves the animals. I was also disappointed that the instructions don't always work- I cannot connect pieces because there aren't enough holes.

Gave this as a gift and the boy's mum said he really loved it.

Exactly as required - bought for grandson for Xmas - he will love them

Très bon achat
