I really liked the construction set because you can assemble very, very many things from it. You are really only limited by your imagination. I saw online what people make from it and decided to buy it and try it. I bought it for my 5-years-old daughter. The piece connection is stiff, but you get used to it with time. She did everything herself, I only suggested and corrected if somewhere the parts did not fit completely. But I think she really could have done it without my help. I just really wanted to assemble the carousel faster.
I just really wanted to see if it’s really possible to make a working model from a construction set. By the way, she started assembling it herself, even before I joined the construction. And she independently, without my help, figured out how to circuit and assemble the baskets for the carousel.
Making the roof of the carousel was more difficult. It’s strange that about no one wrote about this. We assembled it just like the scheme suggested. But the outer elements wher we inserted the tubes kept disconnected. Since we had to bend the tubes with force to connect them (a child would not be able to do this at all), they simply tore out the outer parts from their places. I never managed to make a circle. I had to wait for my husband – he, as an engineer by vocation, made it simpler (not as shown in the scheme). First he connected the outer parts with tubes, and then inserted them inside the resulting circle cross (middle of the roof).
The carousel is really spinning! And my daughter now refuses to take it apart to assemble other versions of the carousel. Now he rolls his bunnies and other toys in it. And I really want to assemble other carousels – I’ll have to order another set like this 🙂 In general, it’s a set with a great potential!
