Original Review Below
9 stick ends broke within 10 days. Hard to get sticks in balls. Return window closed after 4 weeks. I just gave son the game. Is there a way to reorder pieces?
Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2016
So when I got it, I put it high up on the shelf in the closet. When she was 4, she spied it up there and wanted it. So I gave it to her and let her explore it. (I always let her play open-ended with any new toy first before showing her some other things a toy can do.) She immediately created a "spider" and then a series of lollipops. She put those in an Amazon box we had gotten with a shipment that day and proceeded to ship and deliver her lollipops. Hello Amazon! The lollipop game lasted for weeks. Now 4 months later, she has progressed to other creations.
I expect this to be a toy with high play value for many years to come,
On the other hand, the picture cards are great. Varying levels and large, clear images.

Why so cheap plastic?? Is it so hard to use a little bit more durable kind? Also, the cards were too easy for my daughter, do you really need to make 3 different instruction cards for a simple square (in 3 sizes)? For a toy priced over 50€ this was a disappointment and robbery!! Use your money to something else instead!!
Attention, ils peuvent être tentés de forcer au début ce qui peut casser le bout en plastique.
