CubicFun Children's Architecture Puzzle Set Review

I need the White House for one of my GISH challenges - saw this cheap and went for it. It's actually pretty impressive. Durable and easy to assemble. If I hadn't glued the little orange chito to the steps I might have kept it.

I don't know what these puzzles look like (yet). Each piece is a separate (small box about 4" x 5" x 1/2"). 3 boxes. I bought this for a young child who loves to build and visualize things before doing anything buy more complex.

It was a fun little project! He actually came on the space shuttle, so it was a fun surprise. My 6 year old needed help but my 9 and 11 year olds put together their own. They snap in pretty easily. They are surprisingly strong, although they can bend during assembly if care is not taken. Overall it was good value for money and an interesting educational project.

I have purchased other jigsaw puzzles from this company and have enjoyed collecting them. This one falls into the not-so-great category. At first the directions were not as clear as with others. Second, the base folded down and constantly wanted to fold and separate from the building. Instead of enjoying putting everything together, I found it very frustrating. I do not recommend this one at all!

It was cool and fun. Graphics and colors are bright and bold. Thick and durable, no glue required. I bought these to complement my Homies by David Gonzales collection and they are great. Now I don't know if it was just a pressure issue, but the Chrysler engineering puzzle didn't fit properly and couldn't be assembled because none of the pre-cut holes matched the tabs. It sucks because it's an iconic building in my collection but it didn't work so it won't be built.

Looks absolutely amazing! Such a real look! The problem I have is that this breaks easily if you are too pushy. The slits don't always hold the crease and if you press you risk opening the other parts. It also has to be bigger. My adult hands had problems in some places because it's not big enough. If they remake it they should use heavier cardboard or real plastic and also make it 2 inches bigger. I display it and enjoy looking at it every day. Beautiful building.

My son learned about US Presidents in kindergarten so he loved it. He (age 6) was able to assemble most of this model with some help from me (but the parts he needed were quite difficult for me!). He took the finished model to school and all his friends loved having it in class. Keep in mind. If something doesn't fit, you made a mistake in the previous step. When you have everything figured out, the model will fit perfectly. although you might already have broken some parts :D. When finished…

We weren't sure if it would be in my 11 year old's wheelhouse or not. Sometimes these kits don't live up to expectations and then they disappoint kids to tears. It wasn't that bad, but almost. First, it should be noted that 80% of your time is spent squeezing out little triangles of styrofoam to throw away. Any small gaps in the tower walls must be knocked out prior to assembly. Tiresome for a child. Then the assembly of the second stage required adult intervention. I think 16 tabs had to be…
