Fantastic Modeling Kit

I'm not sure what the age rating is for this "toy" but it's definitely something that will need adult input to get it going...in fact a lot of adult guidance will be necessary. I purchased this for myself (42 yrs old) and I find it's more of a professional level tool for house model building. My expectations were greatly exceeded for this - I was blown away! However, I think only a child with a LOT of patience is going to be able to handle this.

Product review of 3-D Home Kit
Posted 3/22/2010
Rating: 
This kit has great supplies for creating a model home. The problem was that it doesn't have instructions to follow. You really need to start from scratch, and most young people don't know where to begin unless they have someone instructing them along the way.

3-D Home Kit

The kit is really cool, I bought it for my brother who is into building things and he loves it. I didn't buy the extra instruction guide as he likes to build independently and that worked out great. He really likes the kit and has been building for days now. He is thirteen and at what I feel to be the perfect age for this type of toy. It's a little too sophisticated for my 11 year old brother.

A rating of 3-D Home Kit
Posted 12/26/2007 by Tricia
Rating:
This is a great product. We visited Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater, and it peaked our son's interest in architecture. He's reading about Wright's teachings, and wants to design a house using these materials. Great for kids who are detail-oriented and ready to visualize their ideas in 3D.

Rating:
My grandson was really excited to get this. He likes to learn and have a final product through experimenting with hands-on materials. This kit is great, instructions and all, no disappointments that sometimes happen with other products. There are some videos online that can be viewed to see others putting together sample homes with the kit.

Good for grown-ups too

Setting: Home
We got the 3-D home kit to do mock-ups of planned home remodeling projects. We knew we'd have to knock out walls and the kit seemed like a great way to visualize results before we started using a sledge hammer. For us, the kit worked as it was intended because we have a drawer full of exacto knives, good straightedges and glue from other projects, but if you didn't have that sort of thing, or hadn't done much cut-and-paste work, the kit might be sort of daunting. For us, though, it was great.

My son has "planned communities" with paper and tape in the past. This is a dream for him to do it with "real tools". He is 12.

This product is for adults or teenagers. It will require patients and craftsmanship to use properly. In the right hands it is really neat. Not for kids under about 14.

Good product for teenager with passionate interest in architecture and building/planning/landscaping. Needs a few more pieces such as siding. Uncomplicated, hands-on, tactile learning to develop spatial learning.

The material is not strong enough to provide for long term use or repeated use and the writing on many of the pieces is too small to discern.

A rating of 3-D Home Kit
Posted 12/23/2009 by Linda I Clifford
Rating: 
This was the most ridiculous toy I have ever seen. I could have xeroxed a set of plans or a model of a home. It's like paper dolls, only for a house. I guess I bought $23 worth of paper.

Good news. Fat Brain Toys carries 5,000 other selections to choose from should an item not meet your expectations! Please visit our Returns & Exchanges center for details and peace of mind. Ms. Clifford was issued a gift certificate to try another Fat Brain Toy.

I bought this 3-D Home Kit for my 11 year old nephew. He loved it. He needed some help to get going, but then was able to create his own model. Great gift for the future architect!

Review of 3-D Home Kit
Posted 1/2/2012 by Debora Foote
Rating:
I was disappointed in the quality of the product and the material it was made of, I thought it would be more sturdy. However the recipient was pleased and is looking forward to constructing it. I hope it holds up or he will be disappointed. (Fat Brain Toys: If your 3D Home kit doesn't open doorways to great thinking, here's your window of opportunity.

I resisted the urge to open this and fool with it before giving it our granddaughter. It looks to be very versatile, giving you the materials to create nearly any type of home. Good for adults who want to prototype a remodeling project as well as kids who want to dream about becoming a builder or architect.

This was advertised as a toy and it is not. Maybe an adult will use it sometime. As it was a gift, I purchased something else for my grandson.

I bought this with the intentions of giving it to my 11 year old son. I was very disappointed with what I received. Just a stack of paper in a plastic bag! Really? ... Looks cheap and nothing I would ever give as a gift!
