    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our grandson used it for 30 minutes at which time the batteries were run down; replaced the batteries and it ran horrible. Very disappointed. I bought from this company because another grandchild had a similar product that is excellent—-but not this one!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 4 year old really enjoyed this drill set. He had plenty of experience with using a similar toy so drilling the shapes and patterns was his only task and he did very well. This is a nice thing to do on a rainy day when we need to get the little guy busy and it's educational. I think it's a great toy and it the pieces are made very nicely.

    Fun Exciting Tools

    This reviewer received a free sample of this item
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This activity is really awesome, it's fun to create the patterns they provide our make your own design. It's awesome that it has a working drill which is such an awesome skill it teaches but it also helps with hand eye coordination. I think this set is best for younger kids, 3 year olds would be the best age. My 5 year old became bored with it quickly. But it's a really cute design and fun activity.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wish batteries were included. The toy was somewhat easy to understand. My kids figured out what to do with it on their own. I would suggest including something that holds the pattern up rather than it just playing on the table.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've seen toys, but this is the first time, where a toy is educational and fun to play with! My boy loves it, bit confused at first but once you teach him, then they will like it, I'm definitely purchasing more from this brand, also it got me thinking of more educational way! I love the vibrant colors, and how easy it is with all patterns and accessories it comes with! I would say it's 10/10 for children! And yes, the toy is for hand eye coordination and drilling is always fun! Even for me

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this in my classroom as part of a fine motor assignment. It helps build the students muscles as well as help them learn their shapes and creativity. The students really enjoy playing with this so I may need to get a few more. It keeps them busy and they are learning also which is great.

    Cool idea but could be better

    3 out of 5 stars
    Claymc52 - 4 years ago
    This reviewer received a free sample of this item
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really excited to be chosen for this toy, I am an educator and a parent so anything to work on following patterns, fine motor, and discrimination are exciting to me. However, right away I was disappointed. The drill that came with my set was broken. I contacted customer support and they sent me a new one no problem. So that didn't really upset me. Things like that happen and they fixed it for me. When the new drill came I put the batteries in and was once again slightly disappointed. The drill turned slowly and it was loud like the gears were grinding. I get it, it's for 3 year olds so it can be slow. But then I got my 3 year old son to play with it. He wanted to push down as he drilled in the screws and it stopped the drill. After teaching him how to do it softly he kept going. But the threading on the screws are small and it takes awhile with the slow drill to in all the way. He wanted to do the screwdriver and that was even slower for him. He quickly lost interest. It's a cool toy. A cool concept. But some slight missteps. Even for an older child I think they would get frustrated with how long it takes for each screw to go in.

    My Boys Love This!

    Kimberli - 4 years ago
    This reviewer received a free sample of this item
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first gave this to my boys, they played with it for HOURS. And they have played with it everyday since we've had it. They don't really follow the patterns, but they absolutely love drilling the screws into the board. If I had to change anything, I would have the pattern cards come laminated, just because my boys tore up a couple of the cards pretty quickly. Other than that, we love this product. It is fun and educational all in one!
