Great compact building toy
My kids love legos and magnet blocks so any creative building toy is up our alley. We got these and my kids enjoy building with them! It includes a booklet of different builds that you can make for ideas. My kids love to free build and the best part about this toy is that it comes in a very small container that’s easy to store. It doesn’t take up a lot of space. The blocks click together well and my four-year-old is able to build and take apart pieces easily. We would buy this toy again.

My sons (11 and 7) love playing with the flakes. The possibilities are endless! They love to play for hours and I don't have to fight with them to get off of their tablets. We ordered 2 sets, so that we have more options with building and who am I kidding, so they didn't fight but they work as a team. I couldn't ask for a better product! I even love clicking them together while they are playing.

Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2023
I got this toy for my granddaughter who is 3 years 9 months old.

The storage bucket is pretty good, with a screw-on lid so things inside will STAY inside. The handle on the lid had a tendency to come loose, but that's not a huge issue. There were plenty of "flakes" in the bucket, in a nice variety of colors.

The flakes themselves are pretty solid. They are large enough that I think it would be "difficult" for a child to choke on one, but smaller children should still be supervised. The flakes fit together by connecting slots, and snap together firmly. Each flake has 8 slots positioned evenly around the edge (so "north", "northeast", "east", "southeast", "south", "southwest", "west", and "northwest"). The sizes aren't perfect - if you attach 8 flakes to a central one, then 8 more to an outer ring, they will overlap very slightly, but not enough to make an issue. All construction will use "octagonal" forms rather than "hexagonal" which is probably easier for kids to understand. It means that structures will naturally build right angles and straight lines.

The paper instructions included excellent step-by-step directions for 3 structures, showing exactly how many pieces of each color were needed and how to fit them together. There were pictures of a dozen or so other structures that could be built, with several noting that you needed more than one "bucket" to make them in the colors shown. The instructions for those items were accessible by QR-code from the manufacturer website, so not ideal for kids but reasonable especially if you were to print them ahead of time.

My grandkid (not quite 4 years old) is not quite up to the recommended 5-year point but was able to connect the flakes herself into a simple straight line and then disassemble it again, but didn't quite grasp the nuance of 2-dimensional building strategy. She's probably a little too young to really appreciate them but will grow into them over the next few months. Nonetheless, she was able to use them adequately. I look forward to many years of building in the future.

I bought these for my daughter when she was 3. They became her favorite toy instantly and are still her favorite today. It's the only thing she will actually sit and play with for over an hour and it really gets her using her creativity. Endless possibilities.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 6, 2023
Quick delivery! Fun to use. Can be played with from the age if 3. Very versatile, and easy to assemble. Little hands can learn how to do it very quickly. The pieces just clip nto one another.Therefore, it's excellent for fine motor skills. The pieces are large, but not too large and any age and any gender can have fun with it. The colours are very bright. Very young children could learn their colours from playing with this toy. Excellent quality and very sturdy and very well made too. When not in use, its stored in a large tub with a carrying handle. Great value for money.
