I regret not reading the single review these had before.
Whoever buys these will regret it. If you want accurate easy to assemble shapes these are not it. If you want two dimensional shapes the connectors work fine but three dimensional shapesneed three dimensional connectors not the rubberband style things provided.

Great idea, but...
This toy looks better than it turned out to be. My son loves to put things together and was very excited to get this and put it together right away. Unfortunately, it's not as easy to assemble as it would seem to be or could have been made. The connecting pieces are made of a plastic foam-like material that does not have pre-made holes. The wooden sticks provided to link the pieces together are not sharp and very difficult to poke through the foam pieces. You need to make your own holes in the pieces with an orange stick type tool that comes with the kit. My son ended up using pointed toothpicks instead, which worked much better. Wooden bbq sticks would also work well. The kit would have been much better if the sticks provided had pointed ends, but I guess for safety reasons (i.e., company liability) they give you flat sticks, with a slightly sharper, slightly bigger wooden stick to poke your own holes. He still enjoyed the kit, but made his own shapes.
