Wonderful Hands On Learning

The kiddos saw a similar museum exhibit, this is a great mobile version! It was awesome seeing them problem solve and hypothesize why different structures worked better than others. A lot of critical thinking involved.

Bought for my upcoming 5 year old's birthday, he loves building things and this takes it to the next level. All of my kids were fascinated by this toy on display in the store, so I couldn't pass up the sale price, especially with the approaching birthday.

Excellent! Fun and learning!

As a homeschooling Grandma, I am always looking for things that combine teaching with fun and this is it. He's 4 and asks to play this a few times a week. I do wish there were more pieces. I would love to see other color buildings and maybe even some non building pieces to add to it's continued playability.

Grandson Approved

It was a gift for my 6-year-old grandson, but my 8-year-old grandson seems to have claimed it as his own. He showed a LOT more interest in repetitively building different structures and initiating earthquakes. I would recommend.

Educational and Fun for kids and their adults

My 9 year old grandson loves this product. He has tried many variations of buildings and asks me to predict the damage to ensue by his choice of the strength of the vibrations. The pieces are made of sturdy plastic and all fit neatly into a sturdy box. I love the quality of Lakeshore products.

Hours of Fun

Originally purchased for my son who loves to build things. Even my daughter gets into building towers and seeing if they will stand. It has a good number of pieces that they can build things but not so many that we are losing them.

breaks in a year

I boughtthis item and it stopped working within a year. Lakeshore replaced it and it stopped working withina tear again. I would get it out to do a building activity with small groups and the kids loved it. Very disappointed when it just stopped functioning.
