Imaginative for young children
I got this for my grandson who is almost 3. On the one hand, I was disappointed in that it has a lot more plastic than I'd have wanted, remembering my set from the 1960s. On the other hand, the plastic allows for more shapes and imaginative designs.

Great Building Toys
We LOVE Tinker Toys. These are made from a sturdy, flexible plastic. They are super easy for young children and older children to create different figures. I have them at school for my students to use during free play and frequently give them as gifts. Everyone always raves about them. It comes with a pamphlet of different building idea to help kids gets started, if needed

Tinkering
Hours of fun spent building with these. My grandson was extremely proud that he was able to build something. Bonus of counting and color matching as we look at the picture to determine how many pieces and what color was necessary for our project!

Retro large tin storage, 100 PLASTIC pcs
PLASTIC pieces, not wooden. About 1/3 of the pieces are very small. The tin is too large for the number and size of pieces. I’m disappointed because wooden was mentioned in the description ……. “Nostalgic Wooden Construction Toy” My grandson and I have enjoyed making most of the models that are advertised. The plastic pieces are very sturdy, colorful and easy for him to handle. It would be nice if more pieces were included for the price.

My 4 year old son loves them. I find them to be our easiest toy to take out and clean up.

A sad let down accept for the cool can!
The can is vintage which is cool, but they just aren’t the same old tinker toys as they are plastic! Not too many in can and I’m not sure if you can buy more or if you have to buy another can. My grandson played for a day, but there are too many building options these days. I guess I bought these for me and now I’m sad! 😢

We love tinker toys
My very hands on 5 year old loves these. He loves to look at the displayed designs and try and replicate them himself or make his own. He can sit and play with this for a long time. Love the bright color and he very rarely has a hard time putting one together or taking one apart. They’re plastic but still seem durable. Would make a great gift!

My son loves tinker toys and they're so hard to find and so when I found this one in a big container I jumped on it really fast. I absolutely loves them. They're strong little pieces and perfect for children, especially with autism as it gives him something to focus on and he really loves them

El envase retro es genial, pero las piezas son de plástico y no de madera como originalmente lo conocí

Not quite as amusing for my son as the older 1980s set but still does the trick. The only complaint i have is sometimes the plastic sticks get stuck in the other connector pieces and trying to get them out makes them lose shape and not connect well the next time you use them. I feel like this is a safer option than the older ones though and that was the main reason for purchasing
