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

My son got this as a gift from a cousin. Its one of my favorite toys. I enjoy solving the problems just as much as he does. Ive now given it to friends as a gift and they ask Where did you get that? At three my son wasnt quite ready for it, but by four he definitely could do the beginning puzzles himself.

3 and 4 year olds enjoy this puzzle with trucks. I expect they will get better at it as they get older.

This item provides challenging, fun for my 5 year old! She loves to play by herself or work together with a friend/family to build the castle!

Hate those daggone media princesses- you know who Im talking about! But despite my efforts to make our house Barbie and Princess-free, nieces and school friends have gotten the best of my 4 year-old. Got this game to at least get some LOGIC in there- love it. She even thanked me for it a few weeks later.

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.

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).

Our three year old loves these puzzles! They give her a good amount of challenge, but a challenge that she wants and needs! She really enjoys figuring out how to solve each one, and I tend to find her in the harder sections giving it her best try. This could make a great gift for any child!

I was a little worried ones i received it that my kids would find it boring after a couple of uses but i was wrong my 7,6,4 year old love it! They like to challange each other and they even drew out new challanges of their own after they played for about an hour my husband and i joined and we went on to play for another one finalla someone said im hungry and that was the only thing that tore us of the game lol this is more to get younger kids to start thinking of desing and maybe even intro to coding i ordered because of the great value in STEM that this game incluides in each challange loved it! Wish it came with even more blocks!

Amazing boy perfect for brain development

Daughter loves making castles. Really a nice mind bender for a 3 year old. Shes up to 6. She likes figuring it out. She also likes picking the hardest ones and seeing if Mommy can do them.... none are that difficult. The back page shows how to get them done if you are ever in question . Great tool for spacial reasoning. Need those STEM toys? This fits the bill, a nice primer for organic chemistry.. without any kiddo knowing it. We work on having the colors and the sides line up. Now just need some enantiomers.
