Contina
Posted 2/12/2009 by M. Austin
Rating: 
This is my son's second set of Bamboo Contina planks. He loves them and can build almost anything with them. He got his first set when he was six. He bought this set himself with his own money at age eight. When it arrived, he, along with my older son, quickly set to work building a Contina version of the Titantic! These blocks are so simple, yet so well-designed, they offer endless opportunities for the imaginative builder. Great product with limitless possibilities!
Beautiful, Fun, and Imaginative

Great colors and limitless possibilities. My son loves these even though he's younger than the age range. I also love that it comes with a little brochure of suggestions for those of us adults who might need a little jump start for the imagination.

My rating of Bamboo Collection Contina
Posted 7/4/2008 by Linda Pleven
Rating: 
We were disappointed in the Contina Bamboo Collection. My 4 year old granddaughter is a master builder, (no dolls, no stuffed toys etc.). When I saw this product, I assumed they were arches. Well, not only are they not arches, but the most adept adult who's tried to make them stand up to construct those arches pictured on the cover failed dismally. Our granddaughter is totally disinterested in the strips because the colors are not up to her standards in terms of vividness of color.

Basically Colored Wooden Sticks
Posted 6/17/2008 by Matthew Loyd
Rating: 
Setting: Home
These are just colored bamboo sticks (like a shorter, thicker tongue depressor) They're just sticks that if you are really, really patient and meticulous, you could stack to resemble the product photo. On the positive side, the packaging is lovely. The sticks themselves are smooth and the paint colors are gorgeous. And you get a ton of them. But they're just sticks, which was disappointing to our family. We'd expected something that was easier to build and more fun to play with. My kid is happier playing with Legos, Tinker Toys and other better designed building toys. (Note from Fat Brain Toys: Please note the additional photos provided for this product.)

Pretty Colors
Posted 6/6/2008 by Sandra Szumiloski
Rating: 
The finish on these blocks is slippery, making it not so great for building. The colors are very pretty. I think the Kapla are really far superior for building.
