Lucky Doug Building Set for Kids, 602+ Blocks, STEM Toy for Toddlers, Creative Playset House Model for 3-9 Years Boys & Girls

My kids like this set a alot and have built some cool stuff. It seems like a quality product that will keep kids entertained. We like it!

We built this together as a family and it was way harder than anticipated. The recommended age is 3+, however it is not possible without an adult participating. The cement takes time to dry out so you either need to wait between each layer or have the risk of it falling. Ours feel apart as soon as we got to the second floor.I got it as a fun activity for the children who were learning about construction but there frustrations weren't wroth it.

Really cool STEM building kit. I would definitely say this is not for children under the age of 6 at the earliest. Has a lot of small parts. Good quality and my 9 year old old enjoyed building it together with one of his friends. It's hard to find non-screen toys that can keep kiddos this engaged. Great item.

Well it's a neat concept.I really was looking forward to figuring out the "cement" stuff.But after working with it for a bit, I can see some flaws in this.Bricks don't wanna stay still. Doesn't matter if you cement them up or not, they will move if you bump them.The whole cement process is a lot easier on real bricks because of the weight distribution of the brick itself, something these small bricks lack.Because of the easy movability of the bricks, you'll get cement everywhere and the final product will come out a lot less on point than advertised.Also the instructions is just a double sided small piece of paper that gives very very rough instructions.It's a good learning tool and would be a fun project with a kid. As somebody who is into model building, I'm better off using super glue tbh.Overall I would probably recommend it, especially if there is a kid involved. More for the educational aspect of construction and how that all works.

Fun and easy directions. Great for a gift. Kids really loved it.

I’ll start off by saying that the concept of this was super exciting. The concept was to build a 3 story structure using the blocks, materials and “mortar” that would dry to have a model. We laid everything out, mix the mortar mix according to the instructions, 1:1 ratio of mix and water. The mortar was super runny, so we were adding more mix until it was the thicker consistency it said it would be. The instructions are SUPER vague, the bricks, pillars and patio borders slide around on the base, even after the “mortar” dries. Then you start on the second layer and you are guessing where each “rebar” goes, as it’s included to keep the structure stable, but doesn’t show you where they are to go. You are supposed to put a thin layer down, let dry part way, then put a thicker layer and place the bricks together, then let dry again. The problem is, when almost dry (or dry), it starts crumbling, so applying the second layer just removes the first layer. So we tried different ways to see if we could get it to work. We just started layering, and got the first floor built and decided to let dry to stabilize it before continuing to the 2nd floor. After 3 days, we decided it was safe to start the next floor. One bump and the column fell, then when my son went to get it up, his hand accidentally bumped the side and that fell. Mortar was wet still in some places and dry and crumbled in others. We took it all apart and will try gluing it together just so he can build it because he was super excited about completing it. I did this with my advanced 5 year old, he lost interest into it because of the mortar not being structurally stable. The idea and concept is great, but needs work on a mortar that actually works to bond the bricks together, there also needs clearer instructions on where each rebar piece goes, and a more stable base that is not a slick cardboard material. This just didn’t deliver what we expected, we will figure out a way in the future to build this with a different material to bond.

The media could not be loaded. So the plaster you’re supposed to use for the bricks doesn’t even stick that well, and the cardboard base that it came with won’t sit flat because it was folded in the center; which is a huge problem when you go to build because if you have a base that constantly wants to fold in on itself, then none of your bricks are going to set right. Also, the bricks are just falling apart (see video) no matter how much of the plaster I add to them, they just won’t stick. I don’t really see how anyone can even play with this nonsense.

This is a cute, well made building blocks set. It's easy to assemble. It kept my grandson busy all afternoon.
