Erector Build & Play – Motorized 6V Construction Set, 100 Pieces
My grandson turned 6 years old last September. I bought this for him because I wanted him to focus and learn during his play.
The set and directions are simple enough for his age and up, but an adult should explain how to use the directions the first time. Also, occasionally they may need guidance, or a tight part they need help with.
So far he has made the moving race car and helicopter. We also worked together building a crane with magnet lift head and a rubber band powered slingshot.
He recently told his grandmother that it is the greatest gift in the world, so I guess he really likes it. I do too.

My 5 year old son received this as a gift. He’s pretty dexterous and likes other building toys, such as lego, tinkertoys, etc.
PROS: Comes with two instruction books: an easier one that doesn’t use the motor, and a harder one that does use the motor. From the easier book, my five year old could perform many of the steps without assistance, and was proud of his creation. The harder book required active parental participation, but has cooler projects.
Plastic hardware is reasonably easy for small fingers to handle.
The carrying case with a few (albeit flimsy) internal dividers is so much better than just a plain old box and keeps the parts a little more organized.
CONS: As others have pointed out, wheels don’t stay on well, screws need to be tightened and re-tightened. On the whole, the car we made was more fun to build than to play with.
Might be too easy for a child over age 7 or 8, or a kid who is especially good at building stuff.
We noticed no problem with chemical odor.

The directions aren’t quiet as easy as we hoped, but it is a great construction toy.

I bought this set for my 8 year old daughter and she loves it. When we first opened everything I noticed a very strong smell coming from the plastic parts. It seemed that the parts needed to out gas, so I put most of them off to the side while we were building with the other parts. After a while both my daughter and myself started getting a headache and I needed to open all the windows to clear out the smell. We were in the kitchen, so it was not due to being in a confined space. A few weeks later my daughter was taking apart the two robots she had built that first day and was going to make something different. After about an hour she again complained of having a headache. This set is made in China and I am worried about the chemicals used. I have returned this set and purchased a different Erector set made mainly of metal that hopefully will not have the same issue.
