hollyh Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 What do you think of them? Do you have them? What age did/do you kids play with them? I have seen them on a preschool blog and they look kinda cool, but then I think that the kids may not play with them long... Product reviews on amazon are great... Curious about your experience. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristusG Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 My kids got the starter pack of them 2 years ago when oldest was 5 and youngest was 2. It's something that they pull out every few months and play with for half an hour. They've never asked for additional pieces to go with the set. It's a neat concept....my kids just aren't that interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudGrandma Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 we have a set I bought second hand, my kids liked them and have asked for additional pieces, but I think they are getting too old to really enjoy them much longer...but if they were younger, I would probably get more pieces.

staceyobu Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 We have them and my kids like them. I think the more you have, the more fun they will be. I would like to get the set of cards that tell them what to build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MunRoLy Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 My 6 year old enjoys them in spurts. They are fun, but not as engaging to him as building with blocks or wooden trains or Legos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladydusk Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 My kids all three love the wedgits, but I only get them out occasionally so they're a treat. The quality of the individual blocks is really good. We have a "big set" and a double "regular set." They like to mix and match and make their own thing.

Ottakee Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 We had them and the cards are really nice. I brought my sets to church a few months ago for the preschool and older nursery kids and they are a HUGE hit there. Not sure they have the longevity of play like a set of wooden blocks would but they are very neat and the kids at church love to build with them--but only get to use them for about 1/2 hour a week.

prairiewindmomma Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 We have two sets. Our entire family loves playing with them. They are a great all-ages toy, especially if you also purchase a set of design cards for older children/adults. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 We had 3 sets. The kids liked them in spurts. I woudn't say they got a total of 5 hours of play though. DD12 was dissapointed when she found out I sold them.....6 months later. She hadn't noticed they were gone, until I mentioned it. LOL DD5 (3yo when we had them) wasn't interested beyond the first couple of weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyNellen Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 They are a really big hit here with my 8 and 4 year old's. We have three sets and some expansion pieces. My older kids will also occasionally get involved playing with them. They have been well worth the money here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWOB Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 All three of my kids played with them for months after we purchased them for Christmas '09. We did get a set of cards to go along with them. Now, My youngest will pull them out and play with them for quite a while. She really loves them. Last summer we had friends over from out of town. Their dd was about 2 and absolutely loved them. They purchased a set for her and have raved about them. I think kids under 6 will love them. Kids over 6 will play with them for a while as long as you have the cards to go along with them. I do not regret purchasing them at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Inna* Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 We have a few sets- KidsWoot had them for a great price once. The kids like them, even the 2 year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have the storage space for something that doesn't get used enough... :( Hate to waste all that $$$ though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErinD Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 We have three sets. My son got the first set for Christmas a couple of years ago and they were such a hit that he has requested one for each subsequent Christmas as well. Every kid who comes through our house seems to want to play with them. (And me too) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delighted3 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 All of my kids have liked them over the years. They don't play with them every day. They are in our game closet and my kids get them out once in awhile and have a good time with them for a couple of days and then they get put away for awhile again.
