Toys for 4 Year Old Boy- Puzzle Games for 4 Year Olds Boys Fat Brain Toys with Marbles Stem Toys Age 4 5 6 Board Games for 4 5 6 Year Old Boy Birthday Gifts for 4 Year Old Boys

This puzzle is a challenging and engaging toy for children. The interlocking pieces are designed to help children develop problem-solving skills and hand-eye coordination. While the game is intended for 4-year-olds, it may be more suitable for older children. The instructions are helpful in assembling the game, but it may still require some patience and persistence. Taking the game apart can be tricky, but with care, it can be done without damaging the pieces. Overall, this game is a great option for families who enjoy puzzles and are looking for a fun and engaging challenge but just consider the fact that it's a bit hard to fit the pieces together and take apart.

I got this for my 4 (nearly 5) year old - which is the recommended age for the product.In the box are four green tile pieces that lock together. The disc pieces can then be inserted in a large number of ways to produce a track for the small dinosaur cart to drive along. The dinosaur has a scoop to hold plastic balls that are designed to tip into the end piece at the end of the track.My son needed help inserting the pieces - it isnt easy.He then needed help to wind up the dinosaur - that is also very fiddly.Lastly, you need to be an octopus to hold the dinosaur in place (without letting the motor turn) and then put the balls in the bucket.This is a good idea, but is really rather fiddly. With adult supervision there is some fun to it, but it hasn't been a popular toy in our house.

I am reviewing what is described as a marble run board game.Firstly, this isn’t what I would describe as a marble run, but like a board game it is best played on a flat hard surface like a table. The pictures make it look huge, but for those not familiar with inches it is only about 35cm square. The instructions explain the best way to put the board together, but it is still difficult and putting it away again is almost impossible due to how stiff it is and the twisting motion needed and I was sure it was going to break. There is no need for it to be this difficult, I’ve had other games similar to this that interlock like jigsaw pieces so that children can do it themselves, whereas even adults struggle with this one. If we planned to keep this game (spoiler alert, we don’t!) we would have to leave the board in one piece all the time, but then it wouldn’t fit in the box anymore.The aim is to position the pieces so that a path is made from the start to the end, and the book tells you where to put the start and end pieces and which other pieces you have to use to complete the track in-between. Once you’ve finished the route you have to run the dinosaur backward over a surface to “wind it”, hold the breaks to stop the wheels moving straight away, put it on the track, add a marble then release it. This takes some practice and co-ordination, and ideally help from an adult. We had mixed success with whether the dinosaur actually reached the end – it sometimes got stuck on tight corners – and when it did it didn’t always hit hard enough to tip the marble into the end piece. It works better if you wind it for quite a while to ensure it has plenty of power, especially for longer tracks, but we worried about over winding and breaking the mechanism, which the book warns about.The real problem is that whilst it is fairly easy to put the pieces in place, getting some of them back out again can be very difficult. The green and yellow ones are fine as they have cut outs you can get your fingers into, and the start and end ones have raised features you can try to grab hold of. The pink/peach ones with the two curves get stuck in place all the time though on our version and completely spoil the game. Tiny fingers can get a grip on the small cut-outs, but they are held too tight for small children to pull them out. Larger fingers don’t fit in the cutouts so if the pieces are in one of the middle four holes there is nothing to get hold of and you have to lever them out with a screwdriver or similar. If they are in one of the eight outer squares the board slopes down which makes it a little easier to get hold of them, but you have to put them where the solution requires, not where you know you’ll be able to get them back out of.The initial puzzles are quite easy, but even my verify nearly 9 year old got frustrated which the highest level of puzzles which says it is for 6+, and normally he loves this sort of thing. I tried to help him with 111 and I gave up in the end too. At this level it needs a lot of trial and error to see what works, but you can’t do this given how hard it is to move some of the pieces.The idea of this game is good, but the dinosaur is fiddly to operate, the board is a nightmare to put together and take apart and some of the pieces are far too hard to remove once you’ve placed them. With a redesign it could be five stars, but as it is I can only award two.

Grandma always has the best toys.This one is a puzzle really and I definitely think 5+ is an appropriate age.Getting the track together is a little challenging and takes patience, though the best method is shown on the back of the box.Getting it apart again to put away is even trickier. We managed it by carefully working one corner loose. After that it's easy.The game itself requires some cognitive exercise to plan a route that won't result in a dead end.The cute little dinosaur in his digger truck moves marbles from one place to another.Comes with a booklet that shows possible routes to set up.Overall a cool little game to keep a child focused for hours.
