Toys and Games Reviews of Educational Insights Castle Logix
Customer Review: Exceptional Toy with only one flaw
Summary: 5 Stars
"Santa" purchased this toy for our three year old who loves puzzles and building challenges. In a year where he got Tinker Toys, Lego's, Lincoln Logs and Magnetos, we thought that this would round out his stash and keep him occupied through the brutal winters here in NE Wisconsin. As teachers we correctly expected that the challenge from this game would keep his brain active as well as entertained. The quality of the wooden pieces is exceptional. The value of the puzzles in the book is incomparable. He flew through the first 3 sections in a matter of two weeks. The book is not un-challenging, he was simply enthralled by it and kept returning until he could master all but the fourth section.
Our only complaint, and it is a small but significant one, is that while the puzzles develop progressively throughout the first three sections of the book, they evolve too sharply in the last section. Granted, the puzzle does say that it is designed for kids aged 5+, however, turning the page from "Expert" to "Master" requires the child to graduate through 2 or 3 different concepts simultaneously. Perhaps for an older child this would create excitement and could be learned once and then applied. For my otherwise quick study son, however, this was crushing and baffling. On three occasions we have returned to the game only to find him frustrated and angry. While we value challenging experiences, to him this is more than daunting - it is impossible.
We will return to the first three sections and enjoy doing them again and again. In a few weeks we will put it away and keep it out of sight for some months and try again later. I just wish that more care had been taken in the final progressive leaps so that the child could acquire 1 skill at a time rather than 3 at once.
