SmartGames Trucky 3 Wooden Skill-Building Puzzle Game Moving Trucks for Ages 3+

We are using this game in a special needs classroom. Its fantastic for following steps, motor planning, visual perception and fine motor skills. Our OT LOVES the game. I had bought the game previously but my children lost two of the pieces. I wrote to the company to see if I could get replacements and although it took a few weeks, they did respond and send me new pieces. Of course I already bought a new one by that time because I thought they didnt get my email but at least they will replace missing pieces and now I have two full sets so thats okay.

My three year old is loving this! Just a few pieces, so its hard to lose the parts, and the puzzles are just enough to make her think and plan. I actually enjoy doing these with her, and we got Camelot Jr. for her older sister. I think this is not just more fun, but better designed. It has a clear goal, and a clear path to that goal, and the obstacles are obvious and present themselves as a problem(a piece simply not fitting, or being too long).

This was recommended by our daughter. Their son had hours of fun with it and now we bought it for another grandson. We practiced with it after receiving it and since some of them took a bit of thought for us were sure he will find it a challenge. Promotes good planning, spatial, and thinking skills.

Great game! My 2 year old gets the idea but mostly plays with the trucks and lays the right color shapes in the trucks.

My grandsons really enjoyed it. The one whod spent a lot of time on Smart Games Bunny Boo probably enjoyed its colorful inventiveness more. Id suggest bring along a toy knight or two to create an additional play element with it.

This is a great set to add to our homeschool curriculum! Its engaging for the kids and it also challenges them. Our kids range in age from 8 down to almost 1, and our 2 year old even enjoys it. I was afraid it would be too hard for her and too easy for the oldest but, with the booklet that comes with it, theyre able to find puzzles that fit them. Great set!

The idea behind this toy is that there are a handful of pieces that can be constructed into different configurations that arent always obvious in the puzzle book provided. The children must try to replicate the designs based on what they know about how the pieces fit together. I admire the idea behind this, but my kids (5 and 2.5) are completely uninterested in it. They each opened the box once, and quickly became bored with its contents even after I showed them the puzzles and worked through the first one with them. I think this is because there are so few pieces (4 blocks and 3 towers), so there is little room for imaginative construction. It kind of feels like homework. There are other building toys that have pictures of a constructed building, or plane, or elephant or whatever that similarly encourages kids to use logic skills, although the ads for those other toys dont highlight that fact. Those other toys also allow more imaginative play. Some examples of those are Lego, Magnatiles, and Wedgits. Of those, my kids like Magnatiles the best - building complicated structures with them daily. But if you want something that emphasizes the logic aspect most, Id go with Wedgits. They have hidden blocks in some of the constructions, so kids have to figure out how to position the blocks using basic logic and engineering skills. With Wedgits though, there is still a lot of room for experimentation and creating novels designs and structures.

All good

Excellent game, delivered without damage. I recommend

Great toy. Great gift. We received one two years ago, and have given this as a present to others. Its a few simple pieces made of solid wood, and you must fit the pieces together to replicate the picture in the book that comes with it. The puzzles in the book progress from easy to hard. Kids of multiple ages will enjoy this, and most kids 4 and up should be able to do this on their own without needing constant help. When we first got it, my then 3 and 5-year olds could do it together. Adults like it, too.
