MODU Explorer, jeu de construction menthe et vert

My child has been playing with the Modu The Explorer Set | Ocean Mint/Forest Green | Premium Life-Size Building Toy for a little while now and, honestly, I was not completely convinced at first. It is quite expensive, so I went into it a bit sceptical. But after having it in the house and seeing them play with it, I can sort of understand why it costs what it does, although I think it won’t be for everyone. The build quality is probably the first thing that stood out properly. The foam blocks feel quite dense but still lightweight, which is a bit odd at first but makes sense when children start picking them up. They have a bit of give in them if you press them, but they do not feel flimsy. The pegs and wheels fit in quite snugly too — you do need to push a bit, but once things are together, they stay together. I did not have things falling apart mid-play, which I half expected to be honest. Pulling them apart again does usually need an adult though, at least in the early stages. What I liked (and this seems to be the whole point of it) is how many different things you can build. We started with the booklet — simple stuff like a little ride-on or a step — and then kind of drifted into making random things after that. Some of them worked well, some were… questionable, but that’s part of the play. It is very open-ended. One thing I did not expect is how physical it is. It is not just building and sitting — there’s climbing, balancing, pushing, riding. It feels more like a play activity than just a toy if that makes sense. That part worked well. It kept attention longer than I thought it would, although not always consistently. Some days it was used loads, other times not really touched. A bit hit and miss. Age-wise, I can see how it stretches over a few years, but the way it is used changes. Younger children will treat it more like shapes to climb on or lean against, while older ones get more into the building side. Overall, I do think it is a well-designed, genuinely interesting toy that offers more than it first looks like. It just takes a bit of time to appreciate, and a bit of effort to get the most out of it. Not bad at all, just not quite as instantly impressive as I expected either. Lire la suite

I received this product through the Amazon Vine programme and this review is based on my girlfriend's opinions. I got the MODU Explorer Set for my nephew, and overall I’m really happy with it. It’s a clever concept—being able to build so many different things from one set keeps playtime interesting and encourages creativity. We’ve already tried a few different builds, and it’s been fun seeing how easily it can be transformed into something new. What I really like is how it supports active play. It’s not just a sit-and-play toy—my child is actually moving, balancing, and exploring, which feels much more engaging and beneficial. You can tell it’s designed with development in mind, especially when it comes to motor skills. The quality is solid, and the pieces feel safe and sturdy enough for everyday use. It also seems like something that will last a while, adapting as my nephew grows rather than being quickly outgrown like many other toys. It can take a bit of time (and sometimes patience) to figure out some of the builds at first. Once you get used to it, though, it becomes much easier. The value for money is just about OK. Overall, a versatile and well-designed toy that keeps kids active and engaged for hours. Lire la suite

Das ist so ein tolles Spielzeug! Unser Kind kann sich seine Alltagsgegenstände oder Fahrzeuge bauen und auch selbst als solche nutzen. Wir sind einfach begeistert!

Schnelle Lieferung. Teile machen einen robusten Eindruck. Schön sind die vielen Möglichkeiten beim Zusammensetzen der Teile. Kann durch andere Zusatzmodule erweitert werden, was die Kosten besser verteilt.

This is a fantastic construction kit for kids which is really safe to use. It comes attractively packaged in a box that has a carrying handle and all the various items are well packed into a surprisingly small space. My 8 year grandson is autistic and really likes building with snap-blocks which are modular cubes so I hoped that this would appeal to him so I just unpacked it it and let him get on with it and he has been constantly using them - to the extent that he has built himself a small chair to use whilst building his snap blocks. It's been wonderful to see him so engaged with these blocks - skateboards, droids, tables, vacuum cleaner, Tron light-cycle have all been constructed! At 8 he is above the suggested age range of 6 but I don't think that is an issue as long as he is enjoying himself and there haven't been any issues with weight or size. This is because they are very well constructed of a strong, light foam material and will take a lot of punishment. The blocks are quite big intentionally so you will need a bit of space if you leave the creations assembled - especially if you get more sets! They are a premium product at a premium price and I was lucky enough to get a review item through Amazon Vine as I am not sure if I would have purchased not knowing if he would engage with them but having seen them in action they are worth the price for the high quality and enjoyment they've created. If you can afford them I think they are great and would strongly recommend - they got a 'thumbs-up' from my grandson which is high praise indeed. Lire la suite
