Police Headquarters

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Building Sets
from: LEGO

January 01, 2008
I had never bought an actual set to build before. We have a ton of legos that we just bought in buckets. This toy is the best! The instructions were so easy my 10 year old built it herself. The prison cells have little toilets and there is a water cooler in an office. All those little extras that make you go "COOL!".

iPlay Build-A-Road

My 4 yr old had gotten this for a birthday present. She just loves putting together all the different track layouts. It is so easy to snap all of the tracks together, and they are so flexible, that she tries to drape the tracks down the front of the couch. It comes with 2 hard SUV cars.
CONS: The only issue we had with the cars, is there are small round rubber treads that go over each of the wheels. These tend to come off, and if stretched out the cars won't really work on the tracks. When calling the company they said they will send more rubber treads out to me, so it must be an issue with these. Because they can come off pretty easy, I would watch with smaller kids around who may put these into their mouths.
I wonder why ... Read More:

Kid K'nex Zoomin' Buddies-81 pcs

Hours of play. Only took my 4 year old a short time to figure out how to look at the diagram & make them. Pieces are larger so they can easily fit them together, builds confidence that he can make these intricate creations. Excellent toy.

LEGO 15 x 15-inch Building Plate

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Building Sets
from: LEGO

June 12, 2006
I bought this building plate for my granddaughter knowing its very serious limits. It is not rigid enough to support any Lego project unless it is placed on a flat hard surface. After it arrived I immediately glued it to a 15 x 15 inch board to make it usable. Why would Lego produce such a chintzy product?

Magna-Tiles Translucent Colors 100 pieces

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Building Sets
from: Valtech Company


We first played with Magna-Tiles on trip up to Portland Oregon. We took our boys to the Children's museum, and noticed a rather large group of kids standing around a table. They were waiting their turn to play with the Magna-Tiles. We got to test them out for a few minutes, but my boys just loved them. We got them for our youngest's 4th birthday and he hasn't stopped playing with them. Both boys use their imaginations to make castles, parking garages, and all sorts of cool things! It's now the one toy that all children visiting our home want to play with! We're thinking of adding another 100 pc set to our home!

LEGO SpongeBob SquarePants Rocket Ride

My 6 year old got this for his birthday and loves it. The pieces are very small and it was a challenge for him to put it together, but he did it. There are lots of cute little details that we both got a kick out of. Any child under 6 will probably need some help putting this together. My one complaint is that it falls apart pretty easily.

LEGO Star Wars MagnaGuard Starfighter

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Building Sets
from: LEGO


My son, who usually loves Lego Star Wars, wanted me to write this on his behalf after becoming frustrated with this kit:

"I had a forty-dollar gift card and spent it on this toy. I love other Star Wars Lego sets, but this one was different. It kept on falling apart! So, it took like 7 hours just to put it together! That's because each wing is held together by only 2 pieces. I had to add extra pieces just to keep it from falling apart as I built it.

But I have to say it looks really cool. And I have tried to play with it but the rocket compartment keeps on falling out.

If you build this, don't expect to play with it, just say it is a decoration."
