our daughter has this get blocks with one year of our well-known paid. At first they could not build it, but destroyed with fondness the towers built by us and was pleased. now, it is still not a half years, can you build your own towers. she has great pleasure to put blocks together and claps her hands when she has a tower finished. My conclusion: the building blocks promote hand-eye coordination and strengthen self-confidence. There are many extensions, also Kugelbahnen eg, unfortunately, these products are very costly what a negative point brings.
