This is a very good thought process toy. It is fun to create shapes from your imagination! My son loves it and sometimes I even get a chance to play with it and have a lot of fun!

I am 9 and my brother is 6 and we both love playing with this. There are lots of different ways to put the ball together and take it apart. I think this makes a fun birthday gift and its great to take on the go. My teacher recommended it to me.
Good 'Busy' Toy for Grown-up Kids

We bought this as a Father's Day gift and were surprised at how addictive it was for all of us. There is something about feeling the shapes in your fingers, hearing them slot into place and manipulating them so that they stick in different configurations that is very compelling.
Great for kids and adults

I have a red one already for myself as a creativity toy, I bought the multi-color one for my young daughter who loves to make different shapes with it.
Review of Roger von Oech's Ball of Whacks

Our entire family has enjoyed playing with this--the 19 year old college kid to the second graders. It's fun and relaxing. I did notice that at least one of the figures in the book--the "articulated" star I believe it's called--needs TWO balls of whacks to complete. Fortunately, I had ordered two. You should also!
