High play and learning value toy
I bought this for our little one when she was 3. Somehow, I had overlooked that it was for 6+.So when I got it, I put it high up on the shelf in the closet. When she was 4, she spied it up there and wanted it. So I gave it to her and let her explore it. (I always let her play open-ended with any new toy first before showing her some other things a toy can do.) She immediately created a "spider" and then a series of lollipops. She put those in an Amazon box we had gotten with a shipment that day and proceeded to ship and deliver her lollipops. Hello Amazon! The lollipop game lasted for weeks. Now 4 months later, she has progressed to other creations.I expect this to be a toy with high play value for many years to come,

Several pieces broke within days
I am updating my review. Shortly after posting my review, I wrote to LR and asked for parts replacements. Within a week they shipped a new game. We received it soon after. At this point, weeks into the new game, nothing has broken off in the balls. I’m still unclear if it was the original toy that was the issue or if my son was just a little rough. It definitely works to move slowly and twist in and out of the balls.Original Review Below9 stick ends broke within 10 days. Hard to get sticks in balls. Return window closed after 4 weeks. I just gave son the game. Is there a way to reorder pieces?

Engaging but easily break
These are great and kids are super engaged by the challenges of creating the different shapes. The connections on the end of the rods break off easily in the round connector.

Love them. Happy I purchased for our homeschool.
This is amazing. There are enough pieces that both my 7 and 3 year olds can make shapes at the same time. The pieces are plastic/sturdy rubber and seem to be up to the quality of other learning resources products we have.The pieces are easy to put together for both children. With my 3 year old I need to make sure she has the balls turned the correct way.Which is my only real "complaint" to this kit. The shapes don't go together if you don't put the pegs in the right holes. But, it's all good, we pay close attention to the pictures and they all work. My kids have also invented their own shapes and made mini forts for their toys.

Breaks very easily
It’s a cute toy and I like the cards, that clearly teach the difference between 2d and 3d shapes, and their names. But we’ve only had it a few days and many of the pieces are broken, which is not normal for us. The ends of the long pieces break off and get stuck in the round pieces, rendering the long piece unusable and the round piece having one fewer hole that can be used.

Could be better
This is a wonderful material for learning geometry or simply building shapes for fun. My son prefers to use these for building right now, not least because attaching the rods to the spheres is pretty fiddly and he gets extremely frustrated. He builds a tiny building or snowplow or mallets or car or ship or whatever thing, and then leaves it assembled and doesn't build anything else until I disassemble and put away the pieces after a week or so. I won't call it difficult to work with these because it's not, exactly, "difficult," but for a child with low frustration tolerance and who hasn't built fiddly things before (think Lego), these could be challenging.Unfortunately, on top of being fiddly for a child, the tiny plastic bits on both ends of the rods which are inserted into the spheres break VERY easily. Within 5 minutes of introducing this material during our math games time, *I* (the very careful adult) broke a rod and the tiny piece stayed stuck in the sphere. Since then, 3 more have broken in the same manner. I've had to throw away 2 rods and 1 sphere. I would not call these durable.I think I would still buy these again. Overall, the idea is great. The size is just right for a child working at a table. The pieces are not soooo small so as to be dangerous for a baby sibling, though they of course should be closely supervised and not allowed to mouth the pieces. Thanks to their bright color, it's pretty easy to find any pieces which fall to the floor and roll away. The cards are helpful. It's just the durability of these that concerns me.
