Toys and Games Reviews of iPlay Cool Tools Activity Set
Customer Review: tools for development
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my go-to gift for 1-yr-olds, though could probably be given earlier and can certainly be used long after that age. We got ours 5 years ago and it seems the design has been tweeked since then. I'm sending in this review after ordering it for someone else. Amazon shows 'similar' toys that are all tool kits for little ones; I'd be just as inclined to compare it to 'busy box' activity sets. It contains a surprizing number of activities for such a small package, and will be in the front of the toy shelf through several periods of development.
The tools are safe for little baby hands just learning to pick things up but have enough details for preschoolers' imaginations, and can be used to actually turn the screws/bolts and pound the nails. Some of these make cool noises. I don't think they are small enough to be a choking hazard. The drill doesn't really seem to me like it fits in. It makes noise, but doesn't turn any of the screws. It's not too loud, but my son didn't find it very interesting either.
The gears have a mirror--for a baby--and are great for young minds just starting to think about machines. The music doesn't come on whenever the box is open--only when the crank is turned. My son is quite sensative to noise, but this never bothered him (or if it did, he stopped turning the crank and played with the other stuff).
There is also a shape-sorter which used to make funny noises but now apparently names the shapes, which makes it a little less multi-cultural, but oh well. 4 basic shapes are plenty for a little one to get the concept, and it is nice for the tot to be able to flip up the sorter and--tadaa!--find the shapes they just put in.
Ours came with the plastic liner shown in the photo. It didn't stand up to our use at all, was probably gone within a week, but the tools fit in the box anyway. There are about 10 pieces which come out of the box, but we haven't lost any of ours, probably thanks to it's being such a cute little set that we like to put it back together.
