Tinkertoy 100 Piece Essentials Value Set
Best Item From Tinker Toy
Still one of the very best toys out there.
My kids (ages 5 and 3 1/5) just absolutely love these things. And to be honest, so does the kid in ME: they like to use their imagination to build whatever have you, and I build extremely intricate whatever-have-you's for them to destroy. A great time is had by all!
This is only the "essentials" pack, so there are no wheels or moving parts here... for the most fun I would recommend getting at least one Tinker toy package that has wheels or some kind of moving parts, then add a package like this so your kids can build bigger things upon that base package. These can fill up many, many playtimes, since they are really only limited by their imagination.

Fosters creativity and is durable; a big hit with my 4 year old son
This toy proves that it's hard to beat the classics. I know that in the old days, these used to be made of wood but now they are plastic and many people lament that. But I don't really see it as a bad thing. For one thing, the classic wooden sets are still available for the die-hard fans. They're just more expensive. But the advantages of the plastic ones are the sticks - some of them are bendy and that opens up so many possibilities.
My son is 4 years old, almost 5, and he LOVES this. He has many other construction toys (Legos, K'Nex) but these so far are the best. He looks at the diagrams and builds these elaborate contraptions that spin and he's tickled pink by that. He proudly exclaims "I made that all by myself!"
Some of his creations are so-loved that he takes them to bed, just so he could have it with him.
Most of the time he likes to use the diagrams but he also makes up his own machines. He's made rollers and a "claw" so this toy definitely...
Great building set!
When you think Tinker Toy, you think of that neat vintage wooden building set that many of us had as children. However, you must note, this is plastic. It is heavy duty and it does build in the same manner as the old set, just note that it is plastic. My only disappointment was "100 pieces" and the size of the box. When you look at the size of the box, you think that 100 pieces is a lot, but it's not really. It's plenty as a starter set, but you will love it enough to buy more! I am ALL FOR kids building sets!
