Build and Play is yet another step along the way to becoming an Erector master builder. Specifically designed to be more project oriented, each SKU has enough parts to build several different models when the child follows the instruction booklet. The real creativity begins once kids learn that it's OK to depart from the instructions and build a few designs of their own! New flexible pieces have added a whole new dimension of fun to the creations a child's active imagination can come up with.

"Falls apart. - bought this for my son. He enjoyed putting it together with me, but after we put it together it fell apart. The pieces do not stay together at all, if it is moved the bolts come apart. Wished this toy was made better. Would be fun to put it together and play with it."

"durable assembly toy - I purchased this toy for my 6 year old son as a transitional piece from Lego to metal piece assembly toy sets (what is the name of that one?) that are for 8-year-olds. The merchant arrived within two days of the order and everything was as good as expected. Instructions are complete and straight forward. Alex spent less than 15 minutes for the first model (jeep?). His younger brother played with the four wheels afterward. Both enjoyed the toy very much."

"Good Construction Set for Young Ones - My 5 year old son and I built the ATV version this morning. The parts and tools work well for a 5 year old as the nuts and bolts are large sized and the tools fit nicely into small hands. I usually try (argue) to get my son to work on these types of projects himself and I only audit the effort to provide a little guidance here and there. He first had a little trouble getting the tires on the hub and I provided an example of how you need to wiggle it just so, ensuring a good fit. This was out of sequence, but it's hard for me not to put the rubber tires on the hubs right away so I couldn't give my son a hard time. Going through the 11 or so steps to get to the end product had a few difficult moments. The bending of the pliable parts to make up the back fender that has some extending piece that connects to the seat is difficult to accomplish for a small kid. It wasn't all the clear from the illustration that you needed to fold certain pieces and that was tough for my son to visualize based on following the green lines that guide you on how the pieces are to be put together. That really was the crux of what caused me to remove a star. I think there was one other difficult moment, but I think my son could have struggled through it without my help, but sometimes you give in to stifle the whining. Overall a good construction set for 5/6 year olds and I am looking forward to watching my son dismantle the ATV and attempt to build one of the other configurations."

"lack of foresight by company - This is a great toy for our 4 year old. However, they could have supplied extra screws and nuts in case they get lost. My son built the ATV right out of the box and used every single screw and nut. This is bad since they work themselves loose and fall off if he plays with it for very long. We have to be extra vigilant to keep an eye on the parts. As another post said, the headlight eyes pop off all of the time, so much that we just remove them and put them away. Other than those issues, it's a good learning toy."

"Good Purchase- Building Fun - I bought this erector set for my son for Christmas. He just turned five years old and loves to build. He had to have help reading the instruction booklet and needed help to put it together. I think he will catch on and be able to construct by himself once he gets a little older. He was very excited to make the four-wheeler and asked when he could make another. It is a good toy and seems to hold up well other than the little "headlights" fall out easily. We are happy that we made this purchase and it was cheaper on Amazon than in the catalog I had found the product in."
