Toys and Games Reviews of Tinker Toy 200-piece Plastic Construction Set
Customer Review: Stands the test of Time
Summary: 5 Stars
With so many toys on the market these days, it's hard to find one that will grow with your child. My son and daughter received this toy at 3 years old and 18 mths old. While we had to take away the extra small pieces, tinkertoys have been played with for more than 2 years now, everyday. They encourage creativity, sharing, motor skills, and teamwork. There's no bells or whistles, batteries, or noise. It's the perfect toy. My kids make everything imaginable with tinkertoys, recognizable or not. They have only broken 2 sticks in 2 years, as these toys are high quality and colorful. Tinkertoys are a must in every house.Customer Review: Our favorite toys are back!

My sister and I used to spend hours constructed dozens of buildings, designs, etc with our Tinker Toys. When choosing a gift for our 5 year old boy (who seems to have "architect" in his veins), we wanted to pick something to get him off his video games. I was thrilled to see this 200 piece Tinker Toy set in a large carboard drum. I was a bit disappointed that they chose to make these in plastic instead of wood (the wood was more durable), but the concept is still the same. Our son and my husband spent 2 hours putting all kinds of contraptions together. Still lots of fun to be had with this classic playset.Customer Review: Cheap plastic

I have owned these for about 5 years. Very disappointed in the quality. My child didn't play a ton with them or abuse them but I just had to chuck them in the garbage because the pieces continuously break off into each other & you can't get them out which renders them useless. Plus, it creates very sharp edges when they break. I don't know if the plastic just weakens over the years or what,but unless they have improved the quality over the past years, I would not recommend these. I am going to buy the wooden ones.Customer Review: GREAT TOYS FOR TODDLERS

WHEN THE TINKER TOYS ARRIVED AND MY TWO YEAR OLD TWINS UNPACKED THEM, I HAD FOUR SOLID HOURS OF PEACE AND QUIET AS THEY SAT AND PLAYED. THE DRUM IS STILL THE FIRST TOY WE PULL OUT IN THE MORNING AND IT'S THE LAST TOY TO BE PUT AWAY AT NIGHT. THE GIRLS CAN MAKE ANYTHING THEIR LITTLE IMAGINATION'S THINK UP-WITHOUT NEEDING HELP OR GETTING FRUSTRATED BECAUSE THE PIECES ALL FIT TOGETHER EASILY. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT LEARNING TOY FOR ANY CHILD OLD ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND HOW THE PIECES CONNECT TO ONE ANOTHER.Customer Review: Some advantages over wood
Summary: 5 Stars
True -- the old time wood tinkertoys seem more "real" somehow -- but my guys like the plastic because it's easier to play with. The rods fit better into the little holes, making spokes or windmills easier to create. Great colors too. We have both this and wood tinkertoys and they are interchangeable. We have found that the plastic breaks more easily but it does take intentional and considerable effort... (as does the training process toward good toy stewardship).
