This was purchased as a gift for my nephew. I couldn’t decide whether to go for the Basic 101 or Basic 201 as he is at the age for the 101 and has a younger sibling but is very good with his fine and gross motor skills. I decided one could be put away for Christmas so at the moment the Basic 101 is a huge hit. He is able to follow along with the instructions himself which his Mum has said is really impressive as they are actual size and the pictures can be understood by the child. He is very proud of himself when a model is completed each time. Lots of beautiful smiles. So happy we discovered Smartypants Toys and LaQ and we love that there are options for older children and adults too to enjoy and spend time together and have fun. We will definitely be recommending to friends.

My child loves to create his own designs which are easy to do, it allows his imagination to go wild

Basic 201 - 9 Models, 350 Pieces

It is a well made product. My son and daughter (aged 5 and nearly 3) both like playing with it. It encourages creativity and problem solving. Sensory play for the little one. I highly recommend.

I gave the basic sets to my 5 year old niece who has suffered from some learning challenges and also struggles to hold attention at times. She was mesmerised by these sets and within a very short period had built a number of 2d sets. She easily grasped the instructions and how to click the pieces together and then was also checking it with the instruction images (which are to scale) to check she'd done the right thing. We had to pack it up before she was ready to stop. It was also super fun for the family too! Highly recommend for anybody interested.
