home made forts, tents and more with Toobeez

Toobeez are a wonderful addition to your household this season. It’s that time of year when we spend more time indoors and ponder how to keep the kids physically and mentally active. With this set around there won’t be enough hours in the day to make all the things kids will want to make!

Toobeez click together, NO magnets to worry about losing or kids swallowing! I thought it would be too hard for girl2006 but she even understands how to put in the tube and twist to assemble. For boy2001 and girl2004 it’s a great lesson in construction! a couple of things they made couldn’t stand up or weren’t big enough to hold all of them.

Another thing that required some forethought was that the tubes slip into the fabric inserts which I love, no clips to contend with! There are enough Toobeez in the set to make one big project at a time so I was interested in how well all three of my kids would work together.

I always have to watch boy2001 and girl2004 so that they’re not imposing on girl2006! I’m happy to report that she’s holding her own and has gotten the set out on her own when brother and sister are at school to make things.

With families trying to do more with less, Toobeez is a great family gift. Especially good as a gift for homes with more than one kid because all ages will enjoy building and imagining new creations. Currently we’re using these inside but I can totally see us this summer making running hurdles on the lawn and mazes.

A very nice set from an American company! Thanks to FRN for making this review possible. There are a couple of sites that will be giving away a 15 piece set, I’ll make sure to let you know where YOU can win your own set of Toobeez!
