Editorial Review
Tinker Toys have entertained kids for decades--ever since their 1913 invention by Charles Pajeau, who was inspired by children playing with pencils and empty spools of thread. This set features 102 versatile wooden spools, connectors, and brightly colored dowels packed in an easy-to-store keepsake canister. Simply add a child's imagination for hours of creative fun. --Jane Snyder

 It's ok..but that is it December 27, 2008

This is an ok toy. While my son desperately wanted it for Christmas, it is not the toy he wants to play with unless prompted. If you are debating between this and the Lincoln Logs, go with the Lincoln Logs!
 Bringing back childhood memories and loads of fun December 15, 2008
Sr Patricia Raelene (Cleveland, Ohio)
I bought this for a Christmas gift for a friend after listening to her tell me the story that when she was a child this was her favorite toy and how much she appreciated until a fire broke out in her family's house and they lost everything they had. She never got another set because they couldn't afford it. So, I thought I would bring back her childhood memories to her and all of the fun she had with it. I can't wait until she opens it on Christmas day!

After many bad experiences with revived classic toys (for example, the robot game), I was very pleased to find this set to be the high quality I remembered.
This is a toy the whole family can enjoy together on a rainy afternoon. My 2 year old and my 7 year old both enjoy this set (beware of small pieces for younger children) and how they can build huge things in seconds.
This encourage imaginative thinking, problem solving, and builds fine motor skills. Just make sure you get more than 1 set to release the creative possibilities.

My daughter-in-law found the item at Amazon.com and sent the link. Grandpa only had to click on the link and then I bought it with a On-Click purchase. My grandson and I played with it for a while at his birthday party. He and I are very happy with Tinkertoys.
Regards,
Bob

My grandchildren love these Tinkertoys. They are great Lego fans so I was not sure they'd be interested. Their ages are 5 - 10 and they all really enjoy them and are always thrilled to show off their creations.
