I bought this toy to use as a more male oriented tool on a dementia unit, and it is perfect for this. Lots of great different, brightly coloured pieces, and the drill is easy to handle. There are some sturdy pattern boards to follow, which have a blank side too so you can make your own. My patients LOVE it actually, including one of the ladies, and this is the only thing one of my patients will actually become involved with for longer than a few minutes. Could do with some sort of container for all the bits, this would make the toy perfect, but overall it is an excellent educational toy and very absorbing to use. Batteries seem to have lasted quite well (not supplied) so doesn't use too much energy each play session. Very satisfied.

Great little toy for my three year old. He loves drilling like a big boy and making pictures! I got the original version and the only difference between it and the large seems to be that it doesn't have a carry case.Honestly I wouldn't want my son taking it out with him as if he lost the Utd and bolts I'd probable be more upset than him.This is great for teaching them their colours and how to follow instructions. Above all else I think it teaches patience and concentration.

A very simple but occupying toy. I wasnt very exited about it to be honest but it exceeded all my expectations. My 3 year old cant have enough of it. I would literally buy this as a present for birthdays.

I bought this toy for my 4 y.o. son - he was into contruction toys and absolutely loved it. You do need 3 AA bateries to buy to make the drill work - luckily I had them so we could enjoy this toy stright away. The plastic looks bright and made nicely. Everything is very simple and easy to play with. The only thing I would improve is the colour of the work surface - I would rather have it a little bit transparent as you cant quite see through those hole the pattern you are supposed to follow. But he creates his own patterns and looks very pleased with this toy.

I bought the original at £27.99... it looses a star as I think it's over priced... it's fantastic and sturdy! My 4 year old who has autism loves it!! He loves to do a job and repair things.. this is just up hus street!!! It is a brilliant concept and educational..should be a max price of £24.99 and then it's still expensive.. the quality is there so I guess it's ok to pay more as it won't break that easily!

I think this set costs far too much for what it is. The plastic board was rough round the edges and it looked rather cheap. My 5 year old son played with it once in three months so I took it to school for them to use in foundation. Wouldn't buy again. I like the fact they have different pictures to put underneath so you can make different pictures but the holes to look through to see the colours are small.

This was the perfect gift for my 2 D.I.Y obsessed toddlers. 1yr and 2yr old, they love anything to do with drills and 'fixing'. So i was pleased that i found this as they absolutely love it. It is also lovely to have a game they can do together. I brought the screwdriver aswell so they had one each. They don't make patternds yet, but do enjoy drilling in the screws and changing the drill heads etc brilliant idea for an activity, and they play with it on a daily basis. Well worth the money!

This was a present for my son’s 4th birthday. It’s a great idea and he loved it - until the drill just stopped working on the day of his birthday after barely any use.
