worth it
Initially, seemed overpriced for what it is, but it pays for itself after hours of play. I was concerned the planks would be frustrating to build with because of their lighter weight, but have not had issues. For reference, they are a bit longer, flatter and lighter than Jenga tiles. If your kids like to build with dominos, legos, or anything at hand, this is a great set. No fuss - hundreds of identical pieces to build whatever you imagine. Neat book for tips and designs.

Intriguing Gift for Kids
My granddaughter was so excited to get this for her 11th birthday. She is so intrigued with the concept of building contraptions without interlocking pieces. She is ready to explore building without a guide soon.

Teaches problem solving skills and builds perseverance
My kids received this for Christmas, and out of the 20+ toys they had for Christmas, this was the most-played toy. My 8-yr-old likes building marble runs with the planks. We had some citiblocs from few years back, and they were compatible with the Keva planks. So with about 400 planks, he could build rather elaborate marble runs. I like how it teaches him perseverance, and problem solving skills. For example, what do you do when your ball doesn't have the desired velocity? Sometimes his structure falls apart when he isn't careful and he gets all frustrated. I would tell him to take a break and then come back again when he is ready. More often than not, he comes back to build another one, sometimes even bigger than the previous one. i believe this helps in building his resilience to what life brings in future. The video is the first marble run structure he built by himself over Christmas.

Need steady hands and a calm demeanor!
After the initial frustration of having a nearly completed contraptions fall to bits, the children (ages 5 and 6) got the hang of how to balance and how to be extremely careful in placing those final pieces…and they had loads of fun. And continue to.

How are the contraptions sets different than the structures sets?
myra s. | November 17th, 2020
  • BEST ANSWER: Thanks for asking! Contraptions sets include specially-designed lightweight balls for creating action stunts and the 18-page idea book includes contraption ideas. Structures sets do not include the balls and the idea book is filled with structural ideas.

| December 14th, 2024
  • BEST ANSWER: It depends on the building strategies, but we do provide tips and recommend this set for ages 7 and up to help support a successful experience.

I am having trouble choosing between the contraption reaction set and the 200 piece contraptions set. If I get the contraptions reaction set, will I still have enough pieces to build the structures in the 200 piece contraptions set?
| December 11th, 2024
  • BEST ANSWER: We're here to help. The Contraption Reactions set contains 178 wooden planks so this is a little shy of the 200 planks needed to make all of the structures in Contraptions 200. you could add on our 50 plank set (sku 62089) and then have enough to make additional builds.

Can you use regular marbles?
| December 5th, 2024
  • BEST ANSWER: The KEVA balls are roughly the size of ping pong balls and for the best results you will want a lighter, larger ball for these runs. However, KEVA is great for creative building and we would love to see what could be created with marbles.
