I have a lot of fun getting toys to add to the toy box I keep for the frequent visits of my two little great-grandsons, 3 and 5. I saw this set of wood take-apart dinos, and knew my littlest guy would have a blast with them. He is getting into puzzles of all kinds, and in addition to these being a great toy, would appeal to his love for puzzles that he can actually do! The cost was low; the quality of these wooden toys is high. Wood is sturdy and durable, and the colors are basic and bright, and painted on, so everything should easily withstand a couple of rambunctious boys! The various pieces of the dinos snap together; the snaps are very sturdy and the connection is strong. They are easy for little hands to put together, both in size and ease of connection. I think we had one where the shap was a little tight, and a dab of oil took care of it quite well. Both the boys like the set, and have actually "discovered" a few new species that look surprisingly like a combination of others! Mom and I recommend this set without hesitation. It owuld make a great gift for any occasion.

A great puzzle set to really make your kids think. I grabbed this for my nephew when he's over so that he has something to do - and it keeps him busy for some time. I mean, it's not rocket science and any adult is going to figure it out in second flat, but for kids? It's a great toy to get their brains working and have them critically think as to what fits where.They're a good quality and because of their build quality, they won't easily fall apart in the hands of children.Great product, I'd recommend.

This is a super cute little dino toy.It does require assembly and you do need to put the stickers on. At first I was a little bit annoyed but it ended up being a lot of fun! It's intended to be used as a puzzle but it can be hard to get the pieces back off and sometimes the connectors get stuck so my toddler is more using this as little dino toys rather than using it as a puzzle but she's having a lot of fun. The pieces ARE choking hazards so be careful with little ones.

Well built, detailed and colorful alphabet blocks. They're way smaller than expected but still functional and my kids still like to play with it. Fun way to learn alphabet and helps with hand coordination as well đđ»

These building blocks are great, and I have so much fun with my nephew. It reminds me of toys when I was younger. They are simple but great for learning. The blocks are a perfect size as well, and I don't need to worry about them being a choking hazard if I turn my back for a minute.They are colorful and by being wood they will be durable.I definitely recommend you to buy these for that special child in your life.

This item comes with four small wooden puzzles shaped like different dinosaurs; each one comes in a separate bag with all the pieces and connectors. Once they are put together, the legs and heads will rotate due to the plastic connectors. The wooden pieces are well made, smooth thick wood cut in shapes that have matching decals to put on. This would proably require adult intervention, or you putting them on before giving it to a child to put together; assembling the pieces would also need adult help to get the small connecting pegs put incorrectly. It is a fun activity to do together, and a good chance for little ones to practice dexterity. These are sturdy toys that will handle any rough and tumble play, and they will last a long time. I liked them for the interactive building aspect, and because afterward that are great fun to play with. Excellent buy!

I bought this for my granddaughter. She needed to improve her stacking abilities and fitting into the correct hole. She loves it.

My toddler loves playing with wooden blocks at gymnastics so we thought we would get him a set for home. These are really small.

I have 3 yr old twins, one is autistic and this toy is a favorite for both! At first I was disappointed when I received it bc I thought it would be put together. It was not. But this was actually great. My kids loved putting the stickers on the dinosaurs. I had to help with inserting the pegs bc they are not yet strong enough to insert them. But as soon as I inserted the pegs half way. I had the kids take out a play hammer we have and hammer in the pegs. That was so much fun for them to do and they felt like they were âfixingâ and â buildingâ like they see mommy and daddy do around the house. After that my twins attached the different parts , head, limbs, wings ,etc to the various dinosaurs. They were so so proud of building their own dinosaur. And after it was built my twin with autism loved taking it apart and putting it together again. Manipulating the parts by twisting , turning and mixing and matching the parts which my other twin thought was hilarious. A trex body with a triceratops head?? What a wonderful time they had. Also is used as a fidget toy for my autistic twin who gets to move this dinos parts to his heartâ content. My twin who doesnât have autism is engaged in pretend play with the Dino he built. It is now in the company of other dinosaurs we have , fighting, chasing, eating, being eaten, etc. this is just a wooden toy with pegs but it beats any electronic toy. Now I am on the lookout for more types of toys like this. It is engaging , educational as it involves the child being involved in the â toy making â process. So not having it put together out of the box is actually a great play activity for the kids to do! There are directions which are confusing , I didnât use them they were easy enough to figure out without using them at all. Put stickers on Dinoâs, insert pegs. Attach the parts to the body . Done. I do wish the individual bags were labeled with the names of the Dinoâs instead of letters but itâs easy to figure out by the shape which stickers go with which Dino. The instructions in my opinion made it more complicated than it needed to be. So avoid the instructions, itâs easy to put together. You may just have to help your child by picking out the right pack with the corresponding stickers for young children and help insert pegs and the kids can take it fromthere. Older kids might not need assistance . Itâs a craft and a reusable craft at that ,if you take out the pegs. Itâs a toy that your kids can play with as is after itâs built or mix and match parts to create their own monstrous dinosaur creations like an evil Jurassic Park Scientist or use as a fidget toy. So many ways to play! So many toys in one. Great value that checks off marks for creative playtime. Even with the confusing directions it comes with , I would give more than 5 stars if I could!

This is a very nice set of wooden blocks, which comes with a total of 29 pieces - 26 letter blocks and three "castle" pieces. While I wish the blocks were a bit larger, they are nicely finished and therefore fun to use.Each block has two different letters on it, located on the opposite sides of the block. There are also four images on each block, with two images associated with each letter. For example, in the pictures I took, on one side of the block is an "N" and there are illustrations of a nut and a nail, while on the other side is a "K" with illustrations of a key and a kite. The letters are all carved cleanly and coloured in bright, appealing colours. The images appear to be wood burnings, but they're well done with a nice level of detail.Each of the three castle pieces has a series of cutouts, large enough to hold a block, as well as grooves that you can rest more blocks in. In addition to being straight up construction options, the cut outs allow you to create simple two and three letter words which provides another option for play.While I wish the blocks were a bit bigger, I give full credit for the level of finish and the care taken with the illustrations. The castle pieces are a nice touch and certainly provide some extra playability in terms of building structures. At full price this is a good value set, but even more so when they offer a discount (which it has at the time of this writing). So, if you're looking for some all-wood building blocks these are worth getting.

For a life-long teacher with a special interest in pre and early school play-based learning, this set of 4 wooden dinosaur puzzle/model kits held an immediate attraction. Note that the kits require "first play" adult supervision in setting them up for later unsupervised child play. Why so? Because the kits contain small plastic pegs that must be installed in the wooden pieces INSTEAD of finding their way into young mouths. The plastic pegs do represent a choking hazard, so adult/parent involvement is essential. Also, the application of the artwork stickers requires adult guidance at the very least.Each dinosaur kit contains beautifully-crafted and finished wooden "body parts" and pegs to attach them all together. The assembly diagrams, however, are rather small -perfectly useful for an adult but probably too small for little eyes and hands to work from. Perhaps the occasional kindergarten-aged child will be able to work from them on his/ her own, but they are too small for toddlers to understand. Too bad; there's a missed learning opportunity there.Each kit comes with colourful permanent decorative transfers. Toddlers will not be able to work solo with these so parental involvement is required. After the transfers are installed they should stay in place for the life of the toy. Young children enjoy being consulted on selection and aligning of the appropriate transfers; this is part of the learning/teaching experience even if the child's eye/hand dexterity skills are not sufficiently developed to allow for completely independent transfer installation.After assembling the kits completely, and again depending on the skill level and age of the child, subsequent and less highly supervised play periods will be possible. I recommend keeping each dinosaur kit in a separate zip-close plastic bag for young children; when they grow older and more experienced, parents can combine kits in one bag and challenge/reward youngsters to find the right pieces, or even intentionally mix them up to make "funny dinos"."S.T.E.M.", an acronym used by many educators, is too limited for this set of puzzle dinosaurs; I prefer "S.T.E.A.M.": Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics. Teaching & learning opportunities abound in each of these core learning areas with these dionsaur kits. How do the Arts fit in? Story-making opportunities will spring up with every new assembly. I know my very imaginative grandson will create names for his puzzles and together we will create adventure stories for them.Overall comment: if you are willing to spend time with your pre-schooler or young child playing with this set of 4 wooden dinosaur kit puzzles, they will do much more than pay for themselves through entertainment. They will become important developmental learning tools... as well as good fun. I highly recommend them.
