Guidecraft Screw Block - Kids Multi-Color Matching Game, Classic Wooden Toddler Memory and Sensory Skills Development Toy

This is an AMAZING toy!!! My 3 yr old couldn't stop playing with her own screwdriver!! She sat and played with the screws for THREE HOURS straight, I have never seen her play with any single toy for that long-EVER! She was also learning, not only fine motor, but also patterning and matching(which really she already knows, but practice never hurts). We have asked her to put all the screws in the matching colors, to put the green screws in the yellow holes, etc etc.As background, my 3yr old is very girly! She plays dress up(and dresses the dog ;-)), picks her own clothing, has loved tulle and lace since she was old enough to see it...but she also loves to play with tools. Tools aren't just for boys or tomboys, I love that too, that I can teach my daughter that she can be anything she wants, that she can play dress up, dolls, and with her screws all in the same day!!The construction is great, solid wood, yet smooth(no chance of splinters here), the paint is done well, the colors of the screws and holes match perfectly(which should always be the case, but isn't always so). I love that the screwdriver has a secure place in the block so the entire set stays together(less chance of loosing pieces)-basically there is a rubber ring inside the screwdriver hole(its a bit difficult to get it in and out the first few times, but not impossible-even for my 3yr old).My now 11yr old son had an entire tool bench with screws and screwdriver, yet I like this better, it is portable, has a small footprint(it can fit in the diaperbag, my purse, toybox, etc), my son's was also plastic and this wood set is far more stable, no wobbling/bending screws or bench.I bought this for my 3yr old daughter after purchasing children's furniture that she "helped" assemble. She couldn't get enough of the screwdriver, so when I saw this, I couldn't resist.I truly thought this would be an occasional use toy or that she would loose interest fairly quickly, however, I have 2 more daughter's coming up(my young ones are 3, 2, 1) and at this price point, that would be ok. That was definitely not the case.I am beyond happy that this toy was available for my daughter!!

I have bought a few tool sets (including a $130 tool bench) for my son and he has played with this toy more than any other of his tool toys. My son is only 3 but has had this for almost a year. It's a great manipulative toy that includes the screw driver in one of the holes that can be easily stored in the block when not in use. It's very easy to screw and unscrew the screws into each hole and it's also color coded which helps children learn their colors. It is extremely high quality and I plan that this will last several more years. Also, it's one of the few toys with several pieces that actually stays together. It's also a great size that would easily fit into a purse for taking somewhere but also not too small. This is a great toy for any little kid who enjoys playing with tools.

Nice little toy, good quality and build. The only issue is the screwdriver can be a little hard to remove, but I expect that with use it will get easier. The screwdriver slides easily out of position as well while screwing the screws into place, but I feel this is part of the learning experience. My son got this as a new two year old. He is working hard on figuring out righty tighty, lefty loosey and maintaining the direction he chooses until the job is done. Lots of brain work happening here! He enjoys matching the colored screws to their proper spot and also thinks it's pretty funny to mismatch the screws and then fix them. This is one of those simple toys that has a lot of learning potential. And it stores nicely too.

This was smaller than I expected (my fault for not reading closer) but in the end it's really the perfect size. I bought it for Christmas for my 18 month old niece. She and my 2.5 yr old daughter really love it. They both use it with the red screwdriver or with their fingers. My niece especially loves turning and turning the screws. That little fine motor movement is right up her alley. She's just starting to match the colors too. My daughter can do it all independently but still finds it very fun.It's very well made too. Smooth wood and nicely stained colors (no chipping paint flecks). It will last through many happy kids.

My 18 month old learnt how to unscrew using this device and it was such a wonderful skill to watch him develop.It isn't a toy he plays with for hours but each day he disassembles it and I re-assemble it perhaps 3 or 4 times.The screwdriver that it comes with is beyond him and I find it a little clumsy myself. My son uses his fingers and I don't blame him. I would too.He can't screw things in yet and, as I just mentioned, he doesn't use the screw driver. So there is still room to grow with this toy. Still, it has it's limits as it is basically just a tool to teach dexterity in one manual task. My husband and I value this type of dexterity so we love the block. Perhaps some families might not think it worth the money though.****UPDATE****My son is now 20 months and still loves this. It gets unscrewed a min of 5 times a day. Limited only by how fast us adults re-screw the pins in again.

My 2 year old loves playing with this and enjoys trying to turn the screws. She loves using the screwdriver (it came attached to the block already and pulls out with ease) it's fun and gets her brain working. Sturdy and Montessori approved!

My 3 year old son is in OT for fine motor problems. I like this toy because it is interesting to my son and made well. he does not use the screwdriver yet, but you can easily put the screws in without it. We have been working on teaching him to unscrew caps and take off the tops of markers. This toy reinforces those skills his OT is helping him with and I love the quality.

At young ages (2 to 4) the screwdriver only causes frustration. It is an interesting game as it developts fine movement and color coordination as well.

Die Form und die Größe ist für Kinder ab 15 Monate perfekt. Kein Schnickschnack und kein Gedöns. Es bietet 3 verschiedene Spielvarianten, Schrauben mit der Hand rein- und rausdrehen,Schrauben mit dem Schraubendreher rein- und rausdrehen und Farben zuordnen.Und am besten ....es ist aus Holz und macht keine Geräusche. Der Preis geht völlig in Ordnung.

Perfect if you like very well made toys!

I loved this toy for its quality, look and practical play idea. However, it was simply not for my child and it wasn't engaging enough for her. I think when you observe a child that is interested in screwing things in and out, it would be a great and engaging toy to practice motor skills with.

El destornillador no encaja en la ranura de los tornillos, he tenido que hacer un apaño con un cuchillo. No lo recomiendo.
