ExcellerationsEarly STEM Toy, Connecting, Fun, Pop Beads, Linking Bead Set in Storage Bin, Pack of 28 (Item #FUNPOP)

I purchased these for my 2 year old great granddaughter. My son had some like these MANY MANY years ago and he loved them and played with them all the time. There were more pieces in the set (in fact I still have 5 pieces from the original set) and the beads actually stayed together unlike this set. The string of beads break apart when picked up or moved. The original 5 that I have are the only ones that stay together.

I bought these for my granddaughter in hopes to show her toys that were similar and fun to what her mum had. These beads would NOT stay together and the plastic is very hard. The point of calling things STEM is for teaching science, technology, engineering and mathematics - this toy teaches nothing beyond frustration both for the adult and the child. Do NOT waste your money on these.

I was so disappointed in the quality of these beads. They do not stay clicked together at all. My 3 year old grand daughter played with them 5 minutes, and was so frustrated that they kept falling apart - she walked away and never touched them again. Very expensive for such poor quality.

read reviews prior to purchase and was skeptical because it was not the "original pop blocks brand" however I was pleasantly surprised and the fact that it has its own storage bin (WIN WIN) pieces stick together just fine and is enjoyed by all from 1 years through 5 (that is only ages i have right now) i am sure this will be around for many generations

Purchased these to include 4-5 in each Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes I put together - very well made toys. I know the children who receive this will be happy.
