I bought these because my sons after school program has something similar, and it's his favorite toy there. He builds swords and skyscrapers and all sorts of things with them at school. They are clearly not this brand as some pieces will not fit together, and you can't put more than 3 together without it falling apart. I liked the idea of how affordable they are, but this is definitely a reminder of you get what you pay for.

Pretty to the eyes, but not worth the frustration 😳
These are so fun looking! I got them for my classroom. The kids were SO excited, but they do not stay together 😢. So the kids will build and when they go to add a different color or piece to their creation it just crumbles apart.

Poor quality
Unfortunately, this product was flimsy . Children 3-5 lost interest when building with them , as they were slippery and disconnected themselves as they were joking them. I think it would have helped if the plastic was thicker and more solid. The shapes are colorful and varied. I don’t think it’s a good construction toy .

Disappointed
I bought these for my 5 year old grandson and he was so excited when he saw them. However, he was trying to replicate some of the builds shown on the box and it wasn't possible. The connections were so loose they wouldn't hold together. He now uses them as rocks in his farm field that he picks up with his grabber.....not the challenge I intended to provide for him at all.

Cool Crazy Connectors Create Great Fun
I don't know if I had more fun with the 145 pc. Cool Crazy Building Blocks Set or if my three-year-old granddaughter did! We both enjoyed playing with the set immensely. I love the fun, bright colors, and the fun shapes. I'm teaching her colors and counting, and it was so easy to do both with this set without her even suspecting teaching was going on. This set is also great to show balance and how the center of gravity changes when new pieces are added. I highly recommend this set!

Not a good building product
This product seems cool but not all the blocks connect well. Some are very loose that they do not stay in place.
You can get creative and do other things with them like sorting, but good luck if you want to use them for building.

Cool Blocks
I'm a Daycare Provider, I have purchased this building block set years ago, and they are a great learning tool and great for little hands for their building skills. They are also awesome for sorting colors, shapes and counting.

Cheap knock offs
My son has these at his day care and loves them, so I searched online and found what I though were the same toys here... boy was I wrong. The photos show them as solid plastic pieces but when I got them, the back was hollowed out. Also because they are so sloppily made most of the pieces dont "lock" together, in otherwords nothing stays together. Complete waste of money, would never buy again.

Very disappointed.
I bought these to entertain my grandsons during church. None of us were happy with the outcome. Although the colors are pretty, we had trouble getting our creations to stay together! The slots in the pieces are too shallow. The colors are not evenly distributed between the shapes, either.Quite a bit of money for the problems we had.

Good fine motor activity
It is a great product to add to your manipulation center and also to work on shape recognition.
