Skoolzy 24-Piece Nuts and Bolts - Montessori Motor Skill Set for 18 Month+ Kids with eBook

My little one is obsessed with tools, so this Jumbo Nuts and Bolts set was an instant hit! He gravitated to it right away and loves twisting, matching, and exploring how they work. The pieces are big, sturdy, and perfect for small hands to handle on their own. It’s a great mix of fun and learning—helping with fine motor skills while keeping him entertained. Definitely a great buy for any toddler who loves to tinker!

My son has CVI and is on the spectrum. Buying toys for him can be a challenge, he needs something to keep his attention, keep his fingers busy, but can't have anything visually distracting or it's overwhelming. The toys have to be big enough its not taxing to look at and solid primary colors or he loses the edges of the shape and can't identify it. These are perfect! I was surprised with the quality of the plastic, I had expected them to be cheap like most standard shape sorters that shatter when they get tossed but these are nice and thick, durable. I was pleased. The only thing that I was surprised by was the size of the bag. In the photo of the product there is a young child wearing the bag like a backpack...that was not our experience. If you read the dimensions for the product those are more accurate to what you will receive. The bag was big enough to fit each part of the toy and we appreciated the easy clean up that mimic'd closely the work he does with his therapists. The colors were bright and accurately pictured, great for him to see easily. The size of the edges of the nuts and the motion of twisting them really encourages kids to develop that pincer grasp which is the basis of most skills they will develop. My son loves traditionally opening and closing the nuts and bolts, but also will fixate on them as a "wheel". He will spin the toy around the axis as though daydreaming but he enjoys the sensation of the movement. I was impressed, this toy exceeded my expectations and I will most likely be purchasing the pegboards as gifts for his therapists this holiday season, or even more of these sets. This is a toy that masters both aspects of being therapy and a toy, enjoyable, yet educational.My son's therapists are big proponents as well, they often pull this toy out of his toy chest to work with him, using it in ways I hadn't considered. Versatile enjoyable toy.

The media could not be loaded. This set is really great! First let me say we accidentally ordered 2, we only meant to order one but I am actually glad we did, here's why. I have an active, curious and busy toddler. She is 23 months old and I am always on the hunt for things that are educational without being boring or electronic. When I saw this I thought, perfect let's give it a try. First, I was happy to see the bag they come in is not just a carry pouch but a little backpack, too cool! Second when we opened them I was happily surprised at the size of them, they are larger and more lightweight than I thought they would be. They have no rough edges, no weird chemical smell (some toys I have ordered her from Learning Resources we have had to return for having a strong chemical smell) and even though she may be a little young to sit and do the whole bag right now, they kept her busy and interested..which brings me to why I am glad we accidentally ordered 2 not 1. I have put the second set in the car! Sometimes we dash out for a quick few errands that turn into more, these have been perfect to stash in the car and not have to worry about batteries and heat and it easy to keep them from getting lost in the car since they have their own brightly colored bag and even though we might lose one bolt here or one nut there, unlike a matching set where everything has it's own specific match, if we lose a bolt, then she can just learn you can problem solve and screw a second nut on to a bolt with one already.

I am actually a pediatric occupational therapist and I have been using the nuts & bolts set in therapy sessions this week. So far, I am loving the product. It seems to be very well made and I believe it will last me for a large portion, if not all of my career. Durability is very important to me, as I spend my own personal money on most of the toys that I use in therapy. I love that the nuts and bolts have to be matched by not only color, but also by shape. This adds a valuable cognitive aspect to the toy. I think the challenge of assembling and separating pieces is “just right”- meaning not too easy and not too difficult. Initially when purchasing, I almost did not purchase because of the price. Now that I have the toy and see that it comes in a carrying case (drawstring bag), I believe that the price is a little more justified. Ideally, I think the price point would be better closer to the $15 mark, but honestly as of right now that is the only improvement I can think to improve the product. This toy is great for visual perceptual skills, bilateral motor coordination, dexterity, hand eye coordination, hand strength, motor planning, and more! I am only a few days into using this toy, but I see it being a frequently used item in my therapy materials!

Good quality. Just as pictured.

I like the size of the toys, and the color variety is a great way to help learn colors along with shapes. The children enjoy competing with each other to see who can assemble them first.

My son loves them! Perfect to teach your little one colors, shapes, matching and fine motor skills! Would be great for a road trip or to throw in your diaper bag to take with you to a restaurant! Great price.
