I worked in a preschool class where the children really enjoyed making different structures with the crystal climbers. It was a favorite center time. However, sometimes you had to push the pieces tightly enough together so the structures wouldn’t fall apart. This sometimes made it hard to pull the pieces apart and resulted in breakage. Despite this, these crystal builders were so well liked, that I purchased one as a gift for a 4-year-old.
My 3 year olds love building whatever their imagination takes them. It’s a beautiful and easy to use product. So far we have spent hours playing together and I listen to the imaginative stories they come up with as they are building rocket ships or castles or zoo animals.

My friend who bought the crystal climbers for my granddaughter and I were disappointed that there was not a booklet with ideas for the children to build with the crystal climbers.
I needed toys both my boys could play with together, building especially. It's such a simple toy for them to understand and not break right away. They found how patterns work and used their imagination building caterpillars and castles. Usually keeps my boys busy for a while, which is definitely worth it in my book!

These are just like the ones I had when I was a child, so I was thrilled to find them. They break fairly easily, so I have to make sure I supervise my first grade students that tend to have a rough touch.
Every design is unique and challenging! Good learning tool for shapes and colors!

I bought 2 sets of Crystal Climbers for my 3 year old great-granddaughter. She won't get them until Christmas. I bought them because in 1969 my parents bought 2 sets for my pre-school sons and they loved them. On that long ago Christmas morning, they had to wait their turn to build with them as their father and his brother also loved them.
We love these so much we recently ordered a second set. It arrived on time but had several triangles and a red square broken. The box container should be improved.
My kids love to build stuctures with thes crystla climbers. They are so colorful and beautiful. Especially if you have it on a light table.
