Jumbo TinkerToy Construction Set

Ages 3 to 7

I used to play with TinkerToy Construction Sets when I was a little girl.

So of course I was overjoyed to see it make a comeback. Today it is available in in 66, 102 or 200 piece sets.

This American classic is well packaged to give any child hours and years of fun. The sets include durable wooden and plastic pieces (some sets are complete made of plastic) that children can interconnect to create whatever their minds can conjure up.

The Jumbo TinkerToy Construction set does include a design guide that can jump start a child's imagination. Most sets include rods, spools, and connector clips to keep kids (of all ages!) busy either alone, or in a group, happily creating one building project after another...

Why Parents love this Toy:

· It's an American Classic - adults love nostalgia
· It never gets boring
· The TinkerToy construction sets come in sturdy canisters
· All ages can enjoy together
· Builds motor skills in children
· Encourages imaginative play and creative development
