Great tool for creators
So great for creators! My 7 year old is quite the cardboard architect and saves all the cool boxes she can find. We usually have to resort to the ol’ butter knife for cutting but this is a great tool to actually get the job done. The saw is durable and easy for a small person to use. The bolts hold together very well. Personally I love the scoring tool. Great investment for artistic kids!

Best tools out there for screen free creative play.
These kits are the best thing ever for creative kids. I got a set for my kids and they love it and will play quietly for days.I sent another set to my nieces and nephews after my brother complained they were using scissors, steak knives, and tape to build stuff out of cardboard. They immediately got to work and built a dragon with leg holes and took turns running through the house. That was just day 1!This tool kit is worth every penny and gives so much joy, independence, and (sometimes) quiet play. 🙂

lots of possibilities
interesting kit, but does require adult help to learn how to use it. Fasteners and safe cutters to make use of cardboard to build all kinds of structures. Instructions are included, but once kids understand how to use it, they can create their own structures. Seems like a good indoor activity that may require some adult or older child assistance, at least at first.

A fantastic learning and therapy toy/tool
This was a last minute gift for our daughter. She is 9 years old but has learning disabilities along with being autistic and adhd. She is also legally blind. She has sat for hours since opening on Christmas day (7 days so far) and used this. She is using her imagination! She is using her fingers (she has issues with her fine and large motor skill) and hands. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this toy. The tools are strong! She hasn’t broken anything yet and that is really something to brag about for his company.

Grandchildren love it!
This was a Christmas gift for our 7 year old granddaughter. She’s always enjoyed crafts, and absolutely loves this set. She and her 4 year old brother are constantly building with it. He never really cared much about crafts before using this set with his sister. A good value here. The tools are safe for sure, but not for very young kids who could put the screws in their mouths. Will buy another set for my nephew’s birthday.

Good product but expensive
We’re a box fort family. However, grandma and grandpa usually create the structure before the grandkids arrive. This kit allowed the 7 year old complete involvement in the construction. The tools and screws were very easy to use. A simple box fort was created quickly and a great time was had by both grandpa and granddaughter!The only downside is the cost which seems excessive for what you get.

Cardboard designs
My kids were so excited about this they love building things from cardboard. I do wish more of screw connectors came with the set but all in all it is a really cool set.

The saw takes a little getting used to, especially for little hands, but the functionality is there. Love this open-ended toy, you can create anything with it.My 5 year old has a little trouble using the saw, but he’s great with adding the screws in with the screwdriver.
