Erector Build And Play

Not appropriate for a 5 year old. The instructions are too complicated. The pieces, bolts and nuts did not readily hold together. If you want a toy to share with a child, this is great. If you expect a 5 year old to do this unassisted, not so great.

thank you for providing such a selection for little boys. It is so hard sometimes to shop for little boys when you are looking for toys that are "boyish" but yet not with monsters and all that yucky stuff that seems to get deemed as a boy toy these days. I believe this company promotes toys for boys that are wholesome and I don't have to worry that the toy will come with Hulk on it or some other character that does not teach the values we believe in. thank you Fat Brain toys for having a huge selection of toys for boys!!

A bit difficult without parents assistance but the pieces are sturdy and the screwdriver and wretch are perfect for little hands.

Review for Erector Build & Play Easy Bucket
Posted 4/27/2010 by Sanjiv Sarwate

Rating: 

Setting: Home

We were thrilled to find this product. Our four year old daughter has recently expressed an interest in machines, a welcome departure from the princess stuff. This beginner set seemed perfect to stimulate her interest.
The only reason I give this four stars instead of five is that the included booklet only gives plans for some of the machines shown on the cover. While I understand that the set is meant to encourage open-ended play, it would be nice to have the plans for at least the models shown on the box.

My four-year-old grandson loves it. He likes one of his parents to help him but, in time, I think he will be doing it himself. He now wants the mechanical bucket that compliments the Build and Play. I said 'Yes' when he can follow the instructions on his own.
Wonderful learning tool. Wish there were more pieces so he could display his accomplishments and still be able to build more.

We purchased this product for our nephew who enjoys building. This set offers the child the chance to build something they can later play with so there's a sense of accomplishment and then the fun of playing with it afterwards. Lots of pieces for lots of building options. And great quality, too!

Perfect hands on toy for my four year old son to play with. Dad grew up with Erector sets and I his son to play with things other than the computer and video games. This is perfect for the smaller builder and he will have plenty of help from his older sister building with it. Thanks so much!

Product review of Erector Build & Play Easy Bucket
Posted 12/28/2010

Rating: 

For an early 4 year old, it is a bit too complex for him to put things together. However, the more he plays with it, the more he can do with it. I anticipate that within a few weeks or a month, he will be building regularly with it.

Posted 11/23/2009

Rating: 

Given that this toy is targeted towards kids 5+, I shouldn't have been too surprised that my precocious 3-year old wasn't as interested in it as my 7-year old. I would've given this toy five stars if there were a greater variety of set/pieces that allowed children to make a wider variety of things.

This one was more difficult for our 5 yr old grandson. Definitely needed help. Since the pictures of projects were 3-D, it was much harder for him to figure them out.

This is a great introductory building set with a lot of versatility. Our son was very excited to construct the different vehicles with dad. With time, I think he will be able to do it himself. Great toy.

This is a terrific beginner erector set. The instructions are based on images of the parts, which helps the youngest builders. The finished products are much larger in size than I was expecting, which my 4 year old appreciated. Especially liked the "robot."

This was purchased for one of my 3 year old twins who is into unscrewing and taking apart everything.
At this point this is definitely too challenging for him to do alone, but working together (including his brother) we are all having fun building the many different "machines." Once we get the hang of all of the pieces and how they work together, we'll explore creating our own. I'm excited by this toy's potential!

Both my 6 yr olds loved it - one girl and one boy. With help they can build the easier designs and are learning how to read the instruction pictures. They like assembling the pieces to make alphabet letters too.

Love the product! My 4 1/2 year old sons loves creating "imagination" items using the parts! he enjoys the carry case although it is a little hard for him to get shut. Using the descriptions they have to build items is interesting-- as they are quite hard for even adults to build. All and all a great purchase and I would get it again.

Looks nice but...
Posted 1/13/2011

Rating: 

Setting: Home

The set looks great but...the plastic nuts and screws won't tighten very well. Whatever you build falls apart. My son who is 5 can't build with this yet. We will keep it for awhile and see if we can do better with it. The bucket with the dividers is great.
 |
 |
Here's the clincher. If it's easy to put together, it's generally equally easy to take apart. Young children who find pure fun in putting pieces and parts together love Erector Build & Play sets. Kids who expect their self-created plastic Erector bulldozer to push heavy stuff reliably develop new patience for imperfection. We offered our customer a return or exchange. Please visit the Returns & Exchanges center for details.

I bought this for my three year old grandson. He loves taking things apart and putting things back together. His Dad is an Engineer. This is advanced for his age, however with adult guidance and interaction he does very well with it. Getting the parts needed.....following the picture directions and creating his masterpiece! Product is well made. Directions booklet is easy to follow.

Erector Build & Play Mechanical Bucket

We bought this for our four year old son, who is about to turn five. He hasn't built a thing with it, although he usually loves to build things. He is a pretty smart little guy and can figure things out on his own, but this seems to be something his Daddy will need to play with him.

Surprisingly fun

Easy carrying case, great instructions on putting things together, but some of the pictured items aren't fully functional. For instance, we built the dune buggy but the wheels are covered with rubber. Makes it difficult to move the car in any fashion. While he was disappointed in that, we did enjoy building it together. And plan on constructing the other listed items soon.

If the Erector case is broken, there is only one thing to do - build a better experience by calling us! We contacted the manufacturer on behalf of our customer to request a replacement. Please visit the Returns & Exchanges center for the nuts and bolts of great care.

My 4 year old grandson hasn't really got the hang of it yet, but his uncle is slowly but surely showing him how to do it. He asks for it as soon as he walks in the door. Grandma babysits him. It sure helps to keep him entertained. I already have my next Fat Brain toy picked out and ready to order.

I did not give it the full 5 stars just because I do not know how the product holds up with a 4 year old yet, as this is a Christmas present. As for the appearance and what I can see, it looks like something my child will have fun playing with for hours. I can't wait to see his face when he gets it Christmas morning.
