I run a preschool and daycare program and I purchased this toy to augment the existing peg boards and pegs that we currently have. I think the concept is great however the materials are lacking especially for the price. The base board is thick enough to support the pegs and building however the platform pieces are very thin. My kids were super excited to play with the set but we've already had several bouts of tears because unless they keep the pegs in alignment with the lower level pegs, the structure collapses. Maybe this is a great way to teach building structure concepts for older children, but for preschool aged children, it has become an exercise in frustration. Also, the pegs are not compatible with other pegs found at teacher supply stores so the sets cannot be mixed together. Since this product just arrived I have no comment on the durability of the platform pieces but honestly, I am not that optimistic.

My 9 year old just informed me that if the platform pieces were thicker, the pegs wouldn't connect with each other. For this price, why not make the pegs slightly longer and the platforms thicker? Oh well, I think it is important to note these are not compatible with other peg sets purchased elsewhere, only with Lauri brand peg sets.

For my needs, If I had realized the differences I would not have made this purchase.

I run a home daycare, and also have older children. They all love this toy and better yet, no one knows it's educational and great for motor skills. My kids use it as patterning, building and constructing, and more. My toddlers love the bright colors and my 12 year old can't get enough! It's used every day! Great toy, thanks!

I had originally purchased this set for my 5 year old daughter. I'm not only a homeschooling mother of eight but I also have dual degree in elementary and special ed. I thought this would be ideal for my 5 year old and kicked myself for not finding this years ago for my older kids. Instead, when the box came, it was my 13 yr old who snuck this away to play with and only when his little sister happened to walk by and see it and she shrieked, "That's MY toy!" did he give it up.

My husband has also been caught playing with this too. It is alot of fun and very creative. Our family has spent hours playing with this.

The quality of the pegs are excellent and their large size fit nicely into any hand size. The large foam pegboard that makes the base is thick and sturdy. The pegboards that make the building platforms are very thin but sturdy during regular use.

Overall, we are thrilled with this new "electronically free" toy :)
