The Learning Resources STEM Explorers Pixel Art Challenge is an absolute hit in our house! Although it’s recommended for ages 5+, we got it for our 4-year-old daughter who loves puzzles, and she absolutely loves this activity. It’s easy enough for her to do on her own and keeps her engaged for a long time.The set is super easy to assemble, and the quality is great. I also love that it comes with multiple picture options, so there’s plenty of variety to keep her entertained. The brightly colored foam blocks make it easy to see and create vibrant, fun designs.Another huge plus is that the blocks are foam, not magnetic, so we don’t have to worry about magnets being around our younger child. This is such a thoughtful and safe design feature.Highly recommend this for any little one who enjoys puzzles, challenges, and learning through play. Great value for your money and an overall wonderful product!

It’s great for my ND kid. It’s hard to get him entertained that does not involve Amazon kindle or bouncing off the walls. Love quiet toys that keep my wild boy calm and focused. Would have loved a nicer storage box/container, but I am not complaining about it.

We love these mosaics from Learning Resources. They are very good for students to learn about coordinates and provides an excellent outlet for creativity!

The set has plenty of challenges and a good number of cubes in varying colors. All in all it is a great idea and I expect hours of educational entertainment for my kinder.The downside is the cubes in the set are not square, so you have to pay extra attention to make sure you are putting them down right so they hold in place well and the end result looks good. My son (five) was getting irritated by this and doesn't yet have the motivation to figure out how to "do it right", so unless your child has a long attention span, it might be best to wait until they are six or seven.I also didn't realize that the cubes are foam, so I expect them to not hold up very well and get lost easily. If I had read that in the description earlier, I would have purchased a different set.The cubes all came together in a resealable bag, though I wish we were given multiple bags to keep the colors sorted to make building/design a bit easier. There also isn't really enough of each color to make a solid background around the completed designs, so having an extra ten of each color would have been more ideal.

Bought this for our grandkids to use while camping in our 5th wheel. The 5 year old especially loved it.! It was his activity of choice almost every evening when everyone was visiting or playing games. Even when he woke up early he would get it out to work on.It does have lots of tiny blocks so be cautious of choking hazard. Also, you should do some pre-teaching regarding clean up so you don't end up losing all the pieces. We talked about it before he played the first time and he was really good at picking up all the pieces.His older cousins also enjoyed it!Love it so much am buying a second for my classroom.

Good idea, poor QC. The board is well made and the ideas in the booklet are fun. It starts off with showing how the pictures are made and the number of blocks needed to make the picture and progresses in complexity of design to instructions that would make a middle schooler think.The problem comes from the foam blocks they included. While some of them fit into the slots, a lot were either too large or too small. The foam is only 9mm high when the slots are supposed to be 10mm. Also, some of the cuts in the foam weren’t complete or were too large at 10.5mm. The foam itself is also too lightweight for ease of use and pop out of the slots way too easily.Since I have a 3D printer, I printed out all the cubes in the appropriate colors. This allowed my son to still have fine dexterity but was more forgiving in placement since I made the blocks 9.9mm cubed and they weighed more than the foam ones.I only recommend this product to kids older than 7-8 since the foam is too lightweight or if you have a 3D printer to make your own blocks. I’d also only buy this product if it was $20 or less. The quality isn’t worth a higher premium.

Excellent, very entertaining, where you can spend hours creating figures alone, thinking and creativity in a game

Got this to donate to Toys for Tots and it looked super cute! all the pieces seemed there and it looked like it kids would have alot of fun with it. Overall the build seemed sturdy for being a small inexpensive toy. Its definitely educational and has some really cool papers to go with it. I would recommend this for Kindergarten and up kids. The pieces are small and to really enjoy it you need to read some of the steps
