Straw Constructor Toys STEM Building 600Pcs Toy Interlocking Plastic Engineering Thin Tube Blocks Educational Kit for 3 4 5 6 7years Kids Boys and Girls Gift Preschool Toy with Storage Box

The straws are a little flimsy, so if you’re picturing the indestructible strength of our old Generation X erector sets, you’ll want to lower your expectations a bit. That said, for the price, it bought my kid a solid few hours of off-screen entertainment, and honestly, that alone made it worth it. It comes with a few example builds to copy, but no step-by-step instructions, which actually turned out to be a good thing—it forced some real imaginative play instead of just following directions. I do wish they sold replacement straws, because after all the bending and rebuilding, a few didn’t hold up so well. But I’m not about to buy an entire new set just to replace a handful of pieces. Overall, not heirloom-quality, but a fun, creative, screen-free win.

Wow such a good price for such a good durable activity toy. It engages children 3 to 14. My grand children who are ages 3, 9, 10, and 13 love them. Of all the activity toys we have they love these the best. They literally requested for me to get more of these. I recommend getting two sets for more than one child. Colors are vibrant. Very easy to use. Inspires imagination and works hour child's small motor skills. I would highly recommend this product. I will be buying more. I enjoy building with them too.

Kids loved them for Christmas. Kept them busy while they tried to create different buildings and other things that their mind could think of. Would recommend for kids who love to tinker with Legos, K'nex, and the like. Just need to make a rule they need to clean up all the parts before moving onto another toy.

These are nice but they definitely have a lot of pieces. The straws bend but the kids love them. They came with instructions so the kids could play and create stuff with them.

This kit is amazing! Has tons of pieces and connectors. My son on the spectrum can spend hours building and creating

Great imagination building activity. 6 year old loves these. Not to be around younger kids who might put things in mouth though. Has some very very small connector bits.

Nice concept, but quality needs improvement. Some connectors are broken, misshapen, or fused together. Also, the accompanying manual illustrating constructions may provide ideas, but cannot easily be duplicated since the drawings are small and ambiguous as to how the straws are actually interconnected. There is no inventory of the connectors, and it takes forever to sort through them to find the one you actually need.

Love this! The kids have so much fun playing with this. They have built so many big and cool things.
