🏗️ Resourceful Learning: Exciting Building with Lights & Action Review

I bought this for my nephew who is in first grade. He got very upset because there were no instructions to give him ideas and it was too difficult for him alone. Even we adults had different times to get it working. The motor wasn't powerful enough to keep it turning for very long. I wish I could try another toy for him. I had another nephew, this was the best buy. She came in a cool storage bucket. And it seems to be of good quality.

Really cool because it has an automatic component which is a great addition to the original gear set.

We also have a kit that allows you to build a wheeled tank that comes with a plastic track. It is highly recommended to combine all kits for endless hours of play. really used but not the fault of the products.

As far as "construction toys" go, it's just great! My 3 year old can lay them out on all base elements and my 5 year old can build towers. Our "remote control" broke shortly after receiving it, which was very annoying. Even if it worked, you couldn't connect it to a structure that was too big because the small motor wasn't powerful enough to turn it. The kids REALLY loved the blinking lights but the glow in the dark stickers are silly. These are just nice decorations, in fact they don't "glow"…

The parts don't offer much flexibility in how the gears can fit together. Plates only allow a standard grid arrangement. The vertical pieces allow the gears to interact at right angles, but that doesn't work at all the way we'd like. Larger gears cannot interact with smaller gears via a grid of bearing plates - they just don't fit into that grid. You can just put a big gear on top of a small one, which looks fine in the pictures but actually doesn't affect the mechanism in any way. My son is…
