MODU Curiosity, construction motrice 10 modèles orange

I ordered this for my almost 3yr old granddaughter, as the description sounded a lot of fun. The set consists of three blocks, a rectangular one with a raised square, a smaller square one and a rounded, half a cylinder shaped one, two different lengths of pegs and four, double wheels. The blocks are sturdy and well made, and the pegs and wheels fit snugly in the holes that join the blocks together. A booklet with ideas is provided and it’s very simple to put the pieces together. Ours are in a beige/light grey colour. We first constructed a balance toy, using the rounded block. My granddaughter needed support for standing on it but quickly worked out if she turned it upside down it was an easier balancing toy. We then built a sit and ride train for her to play on. The wheels that come with this toy are really well made and spin freely and quickly across our solid floors. My initial feeling was that at the current price of £119, it’s a bit too expensive, however, the quality of the product is so good and clearly Scandinavian and the versatility if you bought this when your child was 6 months old or so, it would last for years and would grow with the child. When you look at it that way the price actually seems really good value for money. Lire la suite

Geburtstagskind hat sich gefreut! Alles super

My little one has been playing with this MODU Curiosity set for a bit now. At its core, it is quite simple; just three large boards with holes in them and a collection of plastic plugs to stick them together. The blocks are made of a dense foam, and because it has this "give" to it, I was a little worried that it wouldn't hold up over time... but it's proven me wrong, I've not had any damage even after months of use. The plastic pegs and casters fit well and run freely without problems too; it hasn't loosened up over time. The set comes with a lovely book that gives detailed, step-by-step instructions for builds; it's helpful to get you started. My daughter and I have tried the vehicle builds, but I've mostly found her using the individual boards as seats because she seems to find them quite comfortable; they are essentially big, soft platforms. Because this is just the starter kit, it does limit the range of what you can actually construct; the little ones have a great imagination and will give anything a go, but you'll eventually hit a ceiling with only 3 foam blocks, some wheels and pegs. It has been quite a bit of fun watching her experiment with the shapes and create things that she can ride or stand on. It's a fun little toy that does encourage building and some problem solving too.

Schön für Kinder. Wird gerne bespielt und fördert auch das räumliche denken

This modular building toy set is ideal for children aged 0–6. We bought it as a gift for our first grandchild, and I’m really impressed with its versatility and quality. The set includes 13 interlocking pieces and an assembly / instruction guide designed to grow with your child. It can be used to build ride-ons, walkers, balance toys, and even obstacle courses, supporting motor skill development throughout the early years. The instruction manual is clear and easy to follow, and the pieces are quick to assemble. We tested it with our 2½-year-old great niece—her ride-on was built in under five minutes, and she quickly worked out how to take it apart and rebuild it herself. It’s great for encouraging creativity and independent play. It kept her quiet during our lunch, allowing us grown-ups to talk in peace. Made from EPP foam and food-grade ABS plastic, the materials are lightweight, durable, and impact-resistant. They feel safe and well made, with non-toxic components that meet high safety standards. The pieces are also easy to clean—just wipe with a damp cloth or rinse with water—making it ideal for everyday use. The instructions also say it can go in the dishwasher – pointing out that in regular use it may need a clean! The main drawback is the price – which almost led to us reducing this to a 4* rating. We’ve kept it at 5* based on how our great niece loved it – and clearly felt it was worth every penny so it would make a great birthday or Christmas gift. It’s advertised as a 14-piece set at £119. In fact, it consists of three large blocks with attachments, including four long poles, two short poles, and four wheels with the assembly guide as the 14th piece. While the quality is excellent, more blocks would improve versatility without needing extra sets – especially if you wanted to use if for more than one child (for example a toddler and a slightly older child or as part of nursery equipment). Overall, it’s a fun, well-designed toy, but slightly pricey for what you get. Lire la suite
