Step2 Real Projects Workshop Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This little workshop has got to be one of the cutest toys! I bought it for my daycare - but my 17 month old daughter loves playing with it too! The screwdriver "works" with batteries, and it comes with several other tools. I also love all of the foam "wood" pieces. Although my daughter doesn't understand what to do with them, she still thoroughly enjoys playing with them. She also really likes putting things in the pullout drawer. Assembly is pretty quick - although the holes are not pre-drilled for the 4 big screws. But pre-drilling them myself was no problem.
The ONLY downfall is that the foam blocks don't stay together that well. They can be put together, but are easily pulled apart through light playing. But overall, I would not say that's a big deal. I'm sure kids will enjoy playing with it no matter what!

Mega Brands CAT Workbench Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My son received this toy a few months after his first birthday and enjoyed having a base to build on that he could stand at. Early on we removed the 'screw' and 'nail' included because he was into putting everything in his mouth and we were concerned with choking. We also did not put on the stickers for at least a year because he would have just pulled them all off. Those two items aside, we have had no issues with this toy and my 3.5 year old still enjoys playing with it.
It was his first 'tool set' as well as connect-able building blocks and his play with the toy has evolved as he has aged. Early on it was all about mouthing everything (wash in a lingerie/net bag in top rack of dishwasher for easy cleaning) and putting the simple single pieces together. We were mildly concerned about the screwdriver at first but it never proved to be a cause for alarm, I could see how it might be an unintentional 'weapon' though for a young child around other children though so that is something to keep in mind (might want to put it away until the child(ren) is a little older).
It is nice that the base can hold all the pieces (and will fit more pieces as well) and the pieces themselves are big enough to make cleanup easy. A fun toy for a toddler, especially if they want to have a 'tool bench' like Daddy (or Mommy!) that will grow with them.

Step2 Soft and Sturdy Grid Lock Blocks Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My 4 year old son received these for Christmas this year. Within about 3 minutes he had built a birdhouse and then a boat with the blocks.
The block fit together well and the assembled shapes hold together well. The variety of shapes is not the greatest (no circles, for example) but they do provide a lot of fun.

Melissa & Doug Wooden Project Workbench Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is of the same excellent quality we have come to expect from Melissa & Doug toys. 100% all wood construction, very sturdy and hopelessly fun! This mom was able to assemble it all by herself in 45 minutes and handy she is not. My son loves this work bench and I love that there is no noise, batteries, or electronic doo-dads, just pure old-fashioned imaginative fun. I did give it 5 stars but my only complaint is I wish this toy was made in the U.S.A. For the price paid it seems the company should be able to employ American workers and I would gladly pay more for them to do so.
