Building and construction toys are great early learning toys that develop strong hand-eye coordination, fosters imagination play and open ended creativity. Playstix does all of the above and in a way that our testers found appealing on a variety of levels. Starting with the bright colors that are eye-catching and appealing, kids couldn’t wait to start building. By the way, those bright colors make cleaning up much easier as they will stand out on virtually any surface. Testers were prone to comparing this set to the Lincoln Logs of their youth. Playstixs fit together much better than traditional log sets and the connections make structures sturdier and able to stay together longer. Kids were pleased with what they were able to construct but ran into an issue that comes up with every single building system no matter the size, namely wishing there were more pieces.
