Building bridges
My granddaughter LOVED this project! The directions were color coded and she followed along nicely. We made magnetic castles and helped bridge the gap between the two building!

Engaging STEM Toy for Budding Builders
One of the standout features of this set is its focus on STEM learning. It encourages children to explore concepts like engineering, physics, and spatial awareness through hands-on play. It’s a great way to introduce young learners to important STEM principles in a fun and interactive manner.The pieces themselves are sturdy and well-made, ensuring durability during playtime. The bright colors and different shapes make the set visually appealing and encourage imaginative building. The instructions included in the set are clear and easy to follow, which is helpful for children who might need some guidance.My only minor concern is that some of the connectors can be a little tricky to snap together, especially for younger children. It might require adult assistance to ensure the pieces are securely connected. Additionally, while the set provides a good amount of building pieces, I wish there were more design suggestions or challenges included to further enhance the play experience.Pros:Encourages STEM learning and problem-solving skillsSturdy and well-made piecesVisually appealing with bright colors and various shapesClear and easy-to-follow instructionsProvides ample opportunities for creative constructionCons:Some connectors can be difficult to snap together, especially for younger childrenCould benefit from additional design suggestions or challengesOverall, the Learning Resources STEM Explorers Bridge Builders set is a fantastic toy that combines educational value with fun building play. Despite a few minor drawbacks, it offers a great opportunity for children to develop important skills while enjoying the process of building and exploring.

Ages 5+
Overall I think that this is a fun building set and is great to mix it up and do something different than typical building sets that I have seen. I like that there are different cards with different things you can build, and you can also just ad-lib it and make your own creation. The backsides of the cards also have other languages. My almost 4 year old and I had fun with it for a little while until she said it was boring and she didn’t want to play anymore, lol. I don’t think this kit is boring (I had fun with it), but I do think that she is too young to really get the point of it and to enjoy it to its full extent. It says for ages 5+ and I’d say that for the average kiddo they should be at least 5 for this.My only issue is that the large square pieces are super hard to snap together and to pull apart. In addition to that, it seems to be straining the female connectors on the pieces when they are going together and coming apart and I wonder if there will be any issues over time when they are put together and pulled apart enough times. On the other hand, you don’t have to worry about them falling apart when you have your structures together.

NOT ONLY EDUCATIONAL BUT GREAT FOR IMAGINATION PLAY
These are great intro to STEM for young ones but even my 8 year old son loved playing with them and using his imagination to create structures to use with his other toys.There are 9 bridge build cards that are inspired by real engineering principles. The cards do not provide step by step on how to build the bridges but graphics are clear and the pieces basic enough that young ones should at least be able to get the basics completed. The pieces are also robust and easy enough for little hands to put together with a little grit.For the blue/yellow pieces that connect together, just a tip 😉 they slide on and not snap together (like my son was determined to do).

Learning Resources es una de mis marcas de referencia en cuanto a juguetes educativos se refiere, por la sencillez en su diseño, precio y propiedades que hacen que los más pequeños de la casa desarrollen sin pretenderlo, sus habilidades latentes o potenciales.En este caso la marca nos ofrece un set de construcción de puentes que consta de 9 tarjetas cuyas instrucciones deberemos seguir y que son de dificultad creciente.Un juego que se engloba dentro de los llamados STEM, que provienen del inglés y quieren decir Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, lo que en español viene a significar ciencia, tecnología, ingeniería y matemáticas.Un juego que es ideal para estimular a los más pequeños a nivel cognitivo, para que trabajen la psicomotricidad fina y la coordinación óculo manual, para niños a partir de los 5 años.

What a wonderful toy to develop my daughter’s spacial awareness and building skills. I was truly fascinating by it, every little girl should have the opportunity to play with this toy if we want to beat the STEM gender gap. Clear instructions, she required a bit of help from me but she was so proud of her creation in the end. Amazinf
