If you've never built anything with Plus-Plus, then you really need to try it. It's such a simple concept, but it's so much fun! Kids of all ages enjoy them - even the adult kids! The pieces are all the same, shaped like a puzzle piece, and they can interlock in any way you choose. Whether you do a flat build, or a 3D creation. And now they've come out with a new line of sets called Plus-Plus GO! They've added wheels and a new smaller baseplate that allows you to build vehicles that will roll. They provided me with two different sets from their new line, so I could try them out for this review. You guessed it... I love playing with these things just as much as my kids do!
The Plus-Plus GO! Street Racing Super Set comes with everything you need to build and stage your own little drag race. For $49.99 you get 900 pieces in a dozen different colors, 12 wheels, 4 baseplates and instructions to create 3 cars and accessories. Build two street racer hot rods and the police cruiser to chase them in hot pursuit. Customize each vehicle to suit your personal tastes. Build a traffic light and some street barricades to throw in as well. Be creative and use your imagination and this set will provide hours of fun!
The Plus-Plus GO! Hot Rod Set includes 240 pieces in 10 different colors, 4 wheels, 1 baseplate and instructions to create the Hot Rod. It's priced at $17.99. You can build the Hot Rod, race it and customize it. It's so much fun!
Plus-Plus GO! has already received the ASTRA award for Best Toys for Kids int the Construction Category. Building these 3D models will challenge kids to develop their fine motor skills while encouraging the use of their imagination.
Plus-Plus is made in Denmark in a zero plastic waste factory powered by renewable energy. Each piece easily connects to the next and lets your imagination create colorful flat mosaics or work in 3D to make more intricate builds. You can even make curves thanks to the unique design of this deceptively simple shape. You can even download their free app for even more building ideas. This is a perfect STEM toy to develop fine motor skills, focus and patience - as well as design, imagination and creativity. If you haven't tried Plus-Plus yet, what are you waiting for?!
I was lucky enough to receive a starter set from E-Blox for review, and my kids are creating some awesome masterpieces that really light up! E-Blox are compatible with other toy bricks sets, so you can build with your existing bricks and use the E-Blox to light your creations up.
The E-Blox Power Blox Light Up 3D Starter Kit has a retail price of $32.99 and comes with everything you need to get started except a 9V battery to power it and a small screwdriver to install the battery. You can even download build instructions from the website, or look up instruction videos online that will walk you through several creations, like the simple robot (they call it an alien in the video), the heart and the light tower. This is recommended for age 8+, but slightly younger children will also enjoy it with proper supervision. It's not for ages 3 and under due to the choking hazard of the small pieces.
As you can see, the video walks you through each step to building the cute little guy that is pictured on the front of the box. It shows you how to insert the battery into the E-Blox battery box and testing to see if it works. It goes on with the complete instructions on assembling the alien (or robot) and even gives trouble shooting tips and suggestions. It's very easy to follow.
The Starter Kit comes with 25 Power Blox pieces, in different sizes, that can be used to create the designs on the back of the box, or use your imagination and design your own creations. There are different colors of light bricks too (blue, green and red), which I thought was cool. You can purchase additional E-Blox sets and combine them to create a bigger masterpiece. Or combine them with your existing building bricks and the possibilities are endless! Create buildings, vehicles, robots and more! Imagine the joy on your child's face when they see their creation light up!
You won't find this Patented Technology in any other toy brick set. It will stimulate young minds with creativity, imagination and science, making it a great addition to any STEAM curriculum. There are no wires, you build the circuits directly into your projects as you light up the 3D circuits with the unique power block. You'll love using your imagination to create awesome structures, combining other toy bricks with your E-Blox to enhance and bring lights to every creation you can come up with.
