Pure Creativity November 20, 2008
Deborah Conner (Plano, TX USA)
We purchased WEDGiTS for our 4 year old son after his tonsillectomy as we were looking at toys to keep him quiet but interested. This toy is perfect. It is great at teaching 3-dimensional thinking. You are not only building and stacking but also putting objects into other objects to create literal works of art. We were even able to create the WEDGiTS hopping frog (you push his legs and his whole body moves up and down). The deluxe set is perfect as it comes with two WEDGiTS sets. I would be afraid that with only a single set (15 pieces) you wouldn't be able to build as many structures. We enjoy creating our own structures but also copying structures that are depicted in the booklet that comes with the toy. I notice that there are add on sets. We may purchase these to broaden our building capability even further. All of our family enjoys this toy (ages 4, 8, 39, and 39).
Wedgits 30 Piece Deluxe September 19, 2008

Bought this for my daughter when she was 4. She is now 6 and still plays with them occasionaly. Lots of ways to build with them. She brings them out whenever kids visit because most kids enjoy them. Even older kids and baby sitters get involved.
Everyone in our house loves this toy June 25, 2008

This is a GREAT toy!! Every house should have a set. My kids really enjoy building with them, and I love to try different designs too! I like that you can challenge yourself with the multi-level cards (purchased separately) or just free play with them. Great for developing spatial sense. I think it will become a gift item for me to give those "hard to buy for kids".
Makes the adults want to play with it too March 28, 2008

These wedgits are a fun challenge for adults as well as kids. You can do easy or complicated creations. WEDGiTS Deluxe Set - 30 Piece SetGrandpa and dad can't leave them alone. They provide an opportunity that's fun for adults to play with the kids.
Fun for ALL ages January 28, 2008

Wedgits are by far the best Christmas gift we received this year. So cool, in fact, that I bought another few sets to augment our collection! My three year old and ONE year old love these things. They are easy to stack - their unique construction makes it so you can stack large on small or small on large, or even stack on a diagonal. The expansion pack allows you to "bridge" pieces together to create QUITE a variety of fun things.
My only complaint with the Deluxe set is that it has very small pieces (relative to the others) which although they are useful to the older builder are an enticement to my 1-year-old's mouth! I'm sure the box says 3+, but my 1-year old LOVES Wedgits because he can stack them himself and they STAY put, instead of like regular blocks which will topple if they get too high. So I just put the tiny pieces aside until we're past the "mouth" stage.
I gave these toys a 4 for durability only because in the original set one of the smaller wedgits came apart (albeit after some abuse). It was easily super-glued back together, though!
LOVE this toy!
