I have the bigger set of this ad my little one loves it as it is easy to put together and take apart.
on the minus side it isnt very strong when built up and keeps falling down but keeps the kids amused for a while

It is quite floppy but if it wasn't you wouldn't be able to build so many different designs. I would only use it indoors though, we built it outside once and the wind blew it apart. Might be ok for the one day of summer we get.
Definatly worth the money.

Lucky you! I got one from amazon last week for £20 and thought I'd got a bargain. The kids love it though so I don't begrudge paying £10 more really. However must get to homebargains and stock up for the half term hols. I usually get some good craft kits for the older kids.

Its good for all ages. In my house the 11 year olds build it and the 2 year olds play in what they have built. Its definitely a bargain at that price.
oooh get her
i will buy one tomorrow or two if they have any left Miffy
i was buying so much that a lady asked me if they were a birthday gift :laughing:
so i said as loudly as i could that i was a childminder, any buying toys for my new starter :thumbsup:
she then said... oh you must be a lovely childminder to go out and buy him new toys :clapping: :thumbsup: :clapping:
