SmartGames Trucky 3 Wooden Skill-Building Puzzle Game Moving Trucks for Ages 3+

Great game. I sit with my 4 year old while he solves these challenges. His attention span is pretty short, but he always gets at least three done before he wants to do something else. When hes done with a challenge, he likes to look at the solution on the back of the page to see if he did it right. Its a nice way to get him to think about finding solutions, and a welcome change from jigsaw puzzles, duplo, lego, and other toys and games.

This was a great game that is sturdy and my grandson enjoys fitting the pieces in the trucks

Amazing boy perfect for brain development

This is such a great simple toy. This year we set a rule with family no toy that uses batteries at first we thought it would be very difficult but with products like this we are very happy. Our daughters love playing this more than their hand held electronic devices. It is very durable and great as a traveling toy. We now bring this with us when we visit family. Highly recommend excellent purchase.

The idea behind this toy is that there are a handful of pieces that can be constructed into different configurations that arent always obvious in the puzzle book provided. The children must try to replicate the designs based on what they know about how the pieces fit together. I admire the idea behind this, but my kids (5 and 2.5) are completely uninterested in it. They each opened the box once, and quickly became bored with its contents even after I showed them the puzzles and worked through the first one with them. I think this is because there are so few pieces (4 blocks and 3 towers), so there is little room for imaginative construction. It kind of feels like homework. There are other building toys that have pictures of a constructed building, or plane, or elephant or whatever that similarly encourages kids to use logic skills, although the ads for those other toys dont highlight that fact. Those other toys also allow more imaginative play. Some examples of those are Lego, Magnatiles, and Wedgits. Of those, my kids like Magnatiles the best - building complicated structures with them daily. But if you want something that emphasizes the logic aspect most, Id go with Wedgits. They have hidden blocks in some of the constructions, so kids have to figure out how to position the blocks using basic logic and engineering skills. With Wedgits though, there is still a lot of room for experimentation and creating novels designs and structures.

Im really surprised so many people like this so much. Its basically $20 for seven wooden blocks and a booklet. My daughter has played with it maybe three times (she is 3). She took out the book and tried to copy some designs, and she seemed to enjoy it for about 10 minutes each of the three times. Now it is abandoned. It is kind of expensive for a handful of simply painted blocks and a booklet. Its not awful but in my opinion it isnt worth the money.

I bought this toy thinking my 4 year old girl would like a different type of puzzle and that my 2 year old son could play with the blocks. When my daughter opened her gifts on Christmas morning (she probably had 50 toys to choose from, big family) she stopped and played with this one. I was a little floored. I mean, she had a Power Wheel in the living room! She did several of the pages before I forced her to move on to opening the rest of her presents. I am very impressed with the quality of the toy. It is very well made. The castle look has peeked my sons interest and he plays with the blocks so I am hoping that when he is older, this puzzle will also entertain him. My daughter came back to this toy after all the presents were opened. After all the toys were put away in their new homes this is the first toy she asked for. It is a good addition. It is also a very nice gift for a birthday party. I think age 6 would be my limit on that though. I think age 6 they would still have a little room to grow into it and wouldnt find it super easy. This will be a go to toy for birthday party invites. Depending on the price fluctuation.

My 5 year old is enjoying this game! I like watching him think through how to solve the puzzles, make mistakes and figure out how to fix it.

Nice toy for young child

I love this product! We have had it for my son for a couple years now and have bought it several times for a gift. It is fun and works on problem solving skills.
