My son's hand-eye coordination has improved so much since we got these—he'll sit for twenty minutes connecting the pieces into triangles and squares, then proudly announce the colors he used. The multiple connection points make them way more versatile than regular blocks.

My 3-year-old loves counting the different colored sticks and making simple shapes—the multiple connection points really help her build without frustration. It's been perfect for quiet playtime and I've noticed her hand control improving already.

The pieces snap together easily enough for my 4-year-old, though a few need a bit more muscle than others. We've used them to build triangles and squares and count the colors, which keeps her busy for a good while.
