Review: Creative and fun toy for kids of all ages! - We already own a design & drill set so I knew my kids would love this activity center and I was right! My girls who are 4.5 years old and 2.5 years old loved creating different designs and I loved seeing them take turns using the power drill and screwdriver. This set comes with 20 activity cards so my 4.5 year old enjoyed picking an activity card and creating it on the board. I love this is helping both of them to work on their fine motor skills and it is also teaching them to share, count, practice their colors and be creative! All the pieces are durable and high quality and even when my 2.5 year old is a little rough with it, it still works perfectly! This is the perfect indoor toy and I love that it can be played with by both of my kids in different ways. Also it is a great toy that kids can grow with and play with for many years! Highly recommend!
Review: Great toy! - This is hours of fun. I bought it for an 18month old who was able to start playing with it right away, although he had to use both hands on the drill. This toy is great for hand eye coordination. It's. Fun to practice drilling in and removing the screws. It also comes with pattern cards - you cannot lose any of the screws though. In your set, you have just enough to complete the pattern cards and no extras. Included on my review is a picture of how to get everything back in the box. The screw board has to be upside down.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the drill preferred to doing it by hand? How easy it it do do by hand for 4 year  olds? We want to introduce the drill later, if possible**
A: I purchased sets for two different 3 year olds, on their 3rd birthdays  Different skill levels, but both interested in power.  The drill was great for them.  They just need to change out the different heads to fit different screws.  They have no patience for the pattern sheets, but that was expected.  The entire set would be easy for 4 year olds

**Q: What age group is this item recommended for?**
A: I bought it for my 3 year old grandson. He can use it and play with it but for the designs he has help from his older brothers and parents. his older brothers are 15 and 17. and my 22 year old daughter was playing with it along with his cousins, ages range from 4 to 10. so not a set group but all seem to enjoy it.His dad told me a week later to take the toy home with me cause he wouldn't stop playing with it.

**Q: Can i just buy the screws? We have missed placed ours.**
A: We apologize. We do not have the screws available for individual sale.

**Q: Can i buy another drill?**
A: Yes you can! Seach "design and drill drill" on amazon and you will see our red drill to purchase.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great toy!
*by A***G on January 7, 2018*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Everyone loves the toy... but broke in 4 uses
*by J***S on January 1, 2013*

Everyone thinks this toy is great. Even my toddler took the box out, sat down and played with it ... correctly too! What I like: - The concept is great. Good for coordination and fine motor skills. Safe alternative to real tools and great practice for little helpers anxious to assist on household repairs and projects. Our children have been exposed to tools from an early age; the motorized screw driver is out regularly to replace batteries in toys. So they were thrilled to have their own. - I like the size of the pieces. This is one older-child toy that I'm comfortable leaving out with little ones around. - The forward and reverse (to take the bolts out quickly). What I dislike: - The drill stopped working on the forth use! And, though a loved-toy, my kids did not spend hours playing with it. They put a handful of bolts in each use. On the forth use, reverse stopped functioning, and a little later when I went to clean up, forward stopped working too. I've contacted Educational Insights and hope that they will resolve the issue. I assume that we received a defective drill. - The forward and reverse are mixed up -- Might be related to the defective drill? - The shape cards are not held in place and are difficult to see unless you are looking directly down. Personally, I prefer the kids to be creative in their own designs anyway. So this does not bother me too much. I will update this review when I have a response from Educational Insights. UPDATE: Educational Insights sent a replacement drill immediately upon receipt of my feedback, which I submitted online. They have a one year warranty, which I had not realized. The new drill works perfectly and has yet to have an issue. Also forward is forward, and reverse is reverse.
