Lakeshore Creature Builder

Overall Rating: 3.9 out of 59out of 9 reviewers would recommend this product to a friend.

May 29, 2025 - By Nancy Bontumasifrom Spring Lake, MI

Some of the pieces are a little hard to snap in place without help but are very fun to put together. I plan on getting another set.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Creature Builder

August 14, 2024 - By Caitlin McQueenfrom Mount Kisco, NY

The Creature Builder is good for fine motor development and play. The pieces can be difficult to insert at times, and some support may be needed with younger children. It is a good addition to a fine motor center or toys and games center. One star deducted for the price.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Recommended ages off

April 26, 2021 - By Tiffanyfrom Junction City, KS

These were a little pricey for my liking, but my preschool students had high interest. It was disappointing that none of my 3 year olds and a few of my four year olds were not able to connect the parts on their own because of fine motor development. They are quite challenging even for my more developed students.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

not good for 3 yr old as stated

June 18, 2019 - By cynthia keelfrom kingwood, TX

very hard to put pieces together. not good for my 3 yr old as she is not strong enough to push parts into the body. better for 5+ unless you have a strong child with a good grip.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

February 22, 2012 - By Chrisitnafrom Albany Ny

My kids had an absolute BLAST playing with these in my classroom! They love making all kinds of creations and using their imaginations! The only problem is that some are hard to get togther. You have to use a lot of force to get them to snap.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Fun creature creations!

December 28, 2011 - By holliberryfrom American Fork, UT

My kids had an absolute BLAST playing with these! Making all sorts of creations and using their cute little imaginations! Lots of pieces to make several creatures. The only frustration my 4 year old had was a few parts were a little difficult to connect. Other than that they are great!

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Fun but hard to get pieces together

December 07, 2011 - By PreschoolTeacherfrom Colorado Springs, CO

The pieces themself are very cute and well made. The only problem is that they are hard to get togther. You have to use a lot of force to get them to snap. This is usually more force than a preschool student has to give.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Fantastic for quiet time and creative learning

November 28, 2011 - By ehillfrom Castlegar, BC

The children who used this product were 3-5 years and had a great time creating and laughing about their various monsters and creatures during quiet time and free play.

Yes, I would recommend this product.
