Really great value toy!!
My children love this toy ~ it keeps them happy for hours and is really good for hand eye co-ordination skills and teaches them to co-operate nicely with one another. The cork board is very good quality and big enough for sharing and the two hammers means no fighting!! There are also plenty of shapes and nails for both of them to use together and I have found this really useful for getting them to name the shapes and colour of the wooden tiles they are using ~ very pleased with this set and consider it to be really excellent value for money.

Great toy to spark some creativity
Bought for my 5 and 9 year old who both wanted to do lots of hammering with wood and nails. This set has been really popular with both of them. They have one each to avoid arguments.

Supports areas of play, just not enough of it
I work with pre-school children and this is great for fine motor, colour and shape recognition, art and design and self-confidence. It has to be used with adult supervision, obviously. My only complaint is there are two hammers but only one board. Admittedly this could be used to encourage sharing and collaboration but the boards aren't that big. A four year old did comment that two hammers and one board 'makes no sense' and that's a child's opinion!

Fun
Gained the all important approval of my 5 year old nephew. That's enough for me.

Perhaps not suitable for 3 year olds
Let me say that all the Bigwigs toys I have bought (I think my grandsons have every single train that Bigwigs have made!) have been excellent. I ordered the cutting vegetables and this Pin a Shape at the same time. One for each grandson. They are both 3 years old but this particular toy, although looks good, I don't think is suitable for a 3 year old. The toy is still in the box unused and will remain so until the boys are older. The pins as really tiny so although I don't think they would put them in their mouth I think they could be hazardous if they trod on them or put their hands accidentally on them which is why I have only given 4 stars. Sorry Bigwigs as I really like your toys and I'm sure this toy will be fine when they are older.

The perfect gift
I am currently writing this while my 2.5 yr old is playing with this (supervised) while breastfeeding my newborn.This is currently his favourite activity to do and has been ours too. I love the open ended play with endless possibilities. Its perfect to awaken his little (big) imagination.I wish they had a little "match this" book to encourage matching and also help (me) with inspiration. I also found a piece that didnt have a hole, some also needed to be pinned in for the hole to form. But overall an amazing product.
