An unusual creative play set that would make a great gift. The packing kept the components of the set secure and it was attractive to adults and children. Quality was fine, although more cement would have given the toy more longevity. All my older boys enjoyed taking turn to put bricks on the clock tower. Younger ones may need a little more help. While older ones would be able to do it independently and have a great sense of achievement building it themselves. my children had lots of ideas for other things they could build but unfortunately , although the kit says you can dissolve the original cement in water to build something else. The kit does not give you sufficient cement to do so. They liked it in the beginning but are bored of it now, however if we could buy more cement we could go on building and building, especially if you could add more bricks too. Offers value for money but would be better value if you can extend the play with it by buying more cement and bricks. A good idea and a great product for a gift or to keep the kids amused on a rainy afternoon. But it is expensive at the price given that it’s a kit you can only make once.

The set looked really good and like it would be a fun activity. The contents in the box were impressive and Jamie really likes it. He thought it would make a good train and he managed to make the recommended item with some help. I don’t think my child will use the assembled product though; he will probably just end up breaking it. But even still he had fun making it and it is great for developmental skills. Jamie really enjoyed playing with it and thought it was great fun. I don’t think it offers great value for money because you have to buy more cement but it is a really nice toy for creative children. I would not have bought this if I had seen it because I don’t like messy toy but I think some of my friend’s kids would love it. A really well made toy and very different to what I’ve seen before. My son loved the fact that he could be like Bob the builder too! Kirsten Mitchell – Jamie 3 Years
