Editorial Review
Tinker Toys have entertained kids for decades--ever since their 1913 invention by Charles Pajeau, who was inspired by children playing with pencils and empty spools of thread. This set features 102 versatile wooden spools, connectors, and brightly colored dowels packed in an easy-to-store keepsake canister. Simply add a child's imagination for hours of creative fun. --Jane Snyder

5 out of 5 stars Exemplary Classic Toy Reproduction   June 23, 2008
vamommy (Midlothian, VA United States)
After many bad experiences with revived classic toys (for example, the robot game), I was very pleased to find this set to be the high quality I remembered.

This is a toy the whole family can enjoy together on a rainy afternoon. My 2 year old and my 7 year old both enjoy this set (beware of small pieces for younger children) and how they can build huge things in seconds.

This encourage imaginative thinking, problem solving, and builds fine motor skills. Just make sure you get more than 1 set to release the creative possibilities.

Robert F. Mungovan (Tucson, AZ USA)
My daughter-in-law found the item at Amazon.com and sent the link. Grandpa only had to click on the link and then I bought it with a On-Click purchase. My grandson and I played with it for a while at his birthday party. He and I are very happy with Tinkertoys.
Regards,
Bob



4 out of 5 stars Tinker toys are still great fun   May 27, 2008
N. Y. Bedwell
My grandchildren love these Tinkertoys. They are great Lego fans so I was not sure they'd be interested. Their ages are 5 - 10 and they all really enjoy them and are always thrilled to show off their creations.


4 out of 5 stars Grandson loves it   April 3, 2008
Paul E. Thannert (Pekin,Il)
I played with these when I was young. Recently I was searching for toys for my grandson,he's 2 1/2 yrs old. Now whenever he comes over now he will get the tinkertoys out and him and I will sit and build this for quite awhile.


4 out of 5 stars Great starter set   February 28, 2008
C. Magoon
My 3.5 year old son loves this set. We added it to another smaller Tinkertoy pack we own. I do hope for long-term durability and interest in Tinkertoys. And, great price for the amount of pieces included!
