In order to build the items from the directions, it is necessaryto cut the straws. Also, the straws do not bend they fold.

We gave this toy to our daughter for her 7th birthday. She had it in her classroom last year and loved it. Her and her 9 year old brother built a fort with all of the pieces right after she opened it. They both love it.

Product review of Roylco Straws and Connectors Jumbo Set - 705 pc

I purchased this for a science club at an elementary school. My son is 7 and loves it. We started building a fort with it immediately. I am an engineer and I liked how it clearly showed the need for reinforcement and distributing the load so that the structure would support a sheet. My son had to think about these things. Also, it will appeal to the entire age range for the elementary students. It's also easy to put together and take down for the younger kids.

The toy is rated for ages 4+. My boy is 3.5 and he told me, upon opening it, that it was too hard for him and Santa should've given it to a bigger boy. Since then, we have played with it some, but it hasn't gotten the response I was hoping for. You can build all sorts of things with it- not just structures, but hats, clothes, fishing poles.... it takes a good long while to build something big and feels like a lot of work. Sometimes the connectors are hard to get into the straws and sometimes the connection is too loose, so the straw pops off if you're building something round. I'd say about 2/3 of the time you get a "good" connection. The box it comes in is not very sturdy, and it is not easy to fit all the pieces back once the toy has been played with. So you will have to buy a container. All that said, I am still in love with the concept of the toy, and it seems to be fairly rugged (we haven't broken a single piece yet!) Maybe in a few months it will be more appropriate for us.

Maybe not perfect, but great

My seven-year-old grandson is thrilled with this building set. He needs some adult help to do the job, and that is a bit disappointing, but all in all, he loves it.

Great fun for kids and mom

This toy got a lot of play over Christmas break. Mom and all the kids got involved, building variously a boat, a rocket and a house. Lots of hand toys, including guns, lasers and various animals were made. Given the large number of pieces to clean up, I have kept it on a shelf, which has reduced the number of instances in which we play with it, but when I bring it out, it is always a hit. That first day, several of the connectors lost a nub, but there are certainly plenty more for building all but the most ambitious structures.
