STEM Explorers Bridge Builders - Building Science Toys, Fine Motor Skills, Toddler Explorer Kit, Gifts for Boys and Girls

Grandson liked it.

My granddaughter LOVED this project! The directions were color coded and she followed along nicely. We made magnetic castles and helped bridge the gap between the two building!

My nephew loved this as he is scientifically minded. Highly recommend for smart kiddos!

One of the standout features of this set is its focus on STEM learning. It encourages children to explore concepts like engineering, physics, and spatial awareness through hands-on play. It's a great way to introduce young learners to important STEM principles in a fun and interactive manner. The pieces themselves are sturdy and well-made, ensuring durability during playtime. The bright colors and different shapes make the set visually appealing and encourage imaginative building. The instructions included in the set are clear and easy to follow, which is helpful for children who might need some guidance. My only minor concern is that some of the connectors can be a little tricky to snap together, especially for younger children. It might require adult assistance to ensure the pieces are securely connected. Additionally, while the set provides a good amount of building pieces, I wish there were more design suggestions or challenges included to further enhance the play experience. Pros: Encourages STEM learning and problem-solving skills Sturdy and well-made pieces Visually appealing with bright colors and various shapes Clear and easy-to-follow instructions Provides ample opportunities for creative construction Cons: Some connectors can be difficult to snap together, especially for younger children Could benefit from additional design suggestions or challenges Overall, the Learning Resources STEM Explorers Bridge Builders set is a fantastic toy that combines educational value with fun building play. Despite a few minor drawbacks, it offers a great opportunity for children to develop important skills while enjoying the process of building and exploring.

Great bridge building kit. Great learning experience to

Not too much to put. Son loves it. Great STEM toy.

Overall I think that this is a fun building set and is great to mix it up and do something different than typical building sets that I have seen. I like that there are different cards with different things you can build, and you can also just ad-lib it and make your own creation. The backsides of the cards also have other languages. My almost 4 year old and I had fun with it for a little while until she said it was boring and she didn't want to play anymore, lol. I don't think this kit is boring (I had fun with it), but I do think that she is too young to really get the point of it and to enjoy it to its full extent. It says for ages 5+ and I'd say that for the average kiddo they should be at least 5 for this. My only issue is that the large square pieces are super hard to snap together and to pull apart. In addition to that, it seems to be straining the female connectors on the pieces when they are going together and coming apart and I wonder if there will be any issues over time when they are put together and pulled apart enough times. On the other hand, you don't have to worry about them falling apart when you have your structures together.

These are great intro to STEM for young ones but even my 8 year old son loved playing with them and using his imagination to create structures to use with his other toys. There are 9 bridge build cards that are inspired by real engineering principles. The cards do not provide step by step on how to build the bridges but graphics are clear and the pieces basic enough that young ones should at least be able to get the basics completed. The pieces are also robust and easy enough for little hands to put together with a little grit. For the blue/yellow pieces that connect together, just a tip ;) they slide on and not snap together (like my son was determined to do).

Learning Resources es una de mis marcas de referencia en cuanto a juguetes educativos se refiere, por la sencillez en su diseño, precio y propiedades que hacen que los más pequeños de la casa desarrollen sin pretenderlo, sus habilidades latentes o potenciales. En este caso la marca nos ofrece un set de construcción de puentes que consta de 9 tarjetas cuyas instrucciones deberemos seguir y que son de dificultad creciente. Un juego que se engloba dentro de los llamados STEM, que provienen del inglés y quieren decir Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, lo que en español viene a significar ciencia, tecnología, ingeniería y matemáticas. Un juego que es ideal para estimular a los más pequeños a nivel cognitivo, para que trabajen la psicomotricidad fina y la coordinación óculo manual, para niños a partir de los 5 años.

My 7 year old had lots of fun building with this and he could do it all on his own

What a wonderful toy to develop my daughter's spacial awareness and building skills. I was truly fascinating by it, every little girl should have the opportunity to play with this toy if we want to beat the STEM gender gap. Clear instructions, she required a bit of help from me but she was so proud of her creation in the end. Amazinf

Juego de construcción de puentes, para que los jóvenes ingenieros desarrollen la motricidad mientras aprenden algunos conceptos de ingeniería básica, físicas, etc... Deben pensar como colocar las piezas para que los puentes no se caigan. El juego está formado por piezas planas para forma el puente, que se pueden colocar de 2 formas, sobre pilares, y enganchadas unas a otras, dándoles movilidad en el puno de unión, por lo que sirven para hacer puentes fijos, o colgantes. Además se incluyen piezas de unión y cuerda para hacer tensores para los puentes. Con el juego se incluyen 9 cartas con distintos puentes para construir, y además en la web de Learning Resources se puede descargar un PDF con 4 cartas más con 4 puentes más avanzados (no sé por qué no las han incluido de serie, el juego no es precisamente barato). Está orientado a partir de los 5 años, pero dependiendo del niño puede quedarse excesivamente corto, sobretodo si tiene experiencia con juegos de construcción de bloques y similares. Para algunos realizar estos puentes no tiene ningún misterio, aunque es un concepto diferente al típico juego de bloques. No está mal, los materiales son de calidad y las piezas encajan bien, pero es algo básico para su precio y andar racaneando cartas con los modelos a construir.

Got a Xmas present for my nephew, he loved it. Very good quality and very creative toy for five plus years kids
