ZOOB PiecesZOOB sets have 5 different styles of pieces that snap together in 20 ways to make connections that rotate, limbs that extend, axels that spin and much more. The pieces move after they're built together, so your child can create toys to play with instead of just looking at them. ZOOB's shape is inspired by nucleotides, the basic structure that makes up DNA. ZOOB captures the dynamic movement based on the way things move in nature instead of using traditional stacking connections. |
Encourages Kids to Use Their ImaginationThe best part about playing with ZOOB is exploring, discovering and using imagination to create any design that comes to mind. This gives ZOOB built-in educational value because children must use the most important tool of all for creation: their imaginations. The included instruction guides also teach children how to build different creations for those who prefer to go by the book. |
More Pieces make bigger projectsAll ZOOB kits are compatible with each other, so with each new set your overall collection grows. With enough pieces, you can create anything. |
ZOOBZOOB is an award-winning building set with a difference—the pieces move after you put them together, so you can play with your creations, instead of just looking at them. Although we provide instructions and suggestions for models to build, the best part of playing with ZOOB is exploring, inventing, and discovering how you can build and deciding what you want to create. ZOOB is a member of the Alex Brands family of products. Visit our Amazon page for more information on Alex Brands and our best-selling line of educational and entertaining products for kids. |

pros-
Zoobs are really great, you can build tons of things, they move, they are chunky which helps little hands. They are a different type of building toy at a really great price and go on sale often. The zoobs stay together and do not fall apart unless you are trying to dismantle it, this is great for builders that might knock their piece over. The clicking noise the toy makes when moving or bending is perfect for kids and not annoying to adults. This toy appeals to all age levels. The mini booklet of ideas has a very cool and detailed dinosaur build in it and it shows you how intricate the zoobs can be, we are still on necklaces and cell phones. :)
Cons-
The container with this set is top heavy so spills happen. The toy is a little tough to pull apart. It is not as hard as trying to get a little tiny Lego off another Lego, but it is a little tough. Children will get the hang of it just like they did when they started pulling apart Legos.
You should try this toy if you are looking for a new building set. We have Magformers, superstructs, Tinkertoys, quercetti, all different Legos, wedgits, and blocks. These are up there on the list of toys my 5 and 7 year old will play with. They did not fall flat as some other building toys did. Great gift too.
Pros:
-Nice colorful instructions with varying levels of difficulty so the kids can gradually grow in their building skill
-Many different attachment possibilities
-Fairly sturdy pieces. None have broken so far
-Can make accessories for pretend play
-Good amount of pieces to build with
-pieces are large enough that littles toddlers can't swallow. We have a 14 month toddler who would put them in her mouth. Pieces are about 5/8" x 2".
Cons:
-Storage container may be cute and strong, but not shaped for optimal storage and has sharp edge. We quickly moved the set to a store bought box. Maybe the coainer can serve as a narrow trashcan.
-Pieces require a considerable amount of force to click together. Thus it is not appropriate for kids 5 and under. They may get their fingers pinched ( happened to our 3 year old).

The plastic bin the product comes in in a good size. Inside the container there are red, green, yellow, blue and gray builders. The builders are a solid plastic. They are soft enough that you can bend the tips a bit when fitting the balls into the sockets, but not soft enough to easily bend. It is not hard to snap together the pieces, only a small amount of force is needed to join and unjoin them.
There are tons of configurations and ways to design using these blocks. there are also peices that you can combine in the center, as well as 4 way connector peices.
