Brain Flakes 500 Piece Set, Ages 3+, Interlocking Plastic Disc Toy for Creative Building, Educational STEM Learning, Construction Block Play for Kids, Teens, Adults, Boys, and Girls

My son fell head over heels in love with Brain Flakes at school when they introduced a rainbow fish. He was so enamored with them that we couldn’t resist buying them for home use. The first night we opened the box, he was overjoyed! These Brain Flakes are not just fun for the whole family; my two-year-old particularly enjoys putting them away, which is great for developing fine motor skills. Everyone else loves building and creating new things with them. Considering how rough boys are with toys, their durability is a huge plus. They come with a guide, and if you’d like, you can purchase more Brain Flakes. I highly recommend these Brain Flakes, especially for your autistic children!

Really fun for all ages. Keeps kids busy in different ways for an extended period of time. As an adult, I love playing with them too

bought these for my twin grandsons. they love them. they went 48 hours without asking for any TV or videos!! LOL The creations they make are amazing.

Ordered as a teacher gift for her class, the kids loved it

The best set I've seen in years! Addictively fun to put together even for adults. And there are so many in this jug, that you could go on forever. Beautiful colors, go together very easily and stay snug. Highly recommend for any kid or adult!

I got this toy for my granddaughter who is 3 years 9 months old. The storage bucket is pretty good, with a screw-on lid so things inside will STAY inside. The handle on the lid had a tendency to come loose, but that's not a huge issue. There were plenty of "flakes" in the bucket, in a nice variety of colors. The flakes themselves are pretty solid. They are large enough that I think it would be "difficult" for a child to choke on one, but smaller children should still be supervised. The flakes fit together by connecting slots, and snap together firmly. Each flake has 8 slots positioned evenly around the edge (so "north", "northeast", "east", "southeast", "south", "southwest", "west", and "northwest"). The sizes aren't perfect - if you attach 8 flakes to a central one, then 8 more to an outer ring, they will overlap very slightly, but not enough to make an issue. All construction will use "octagonal" forms rather than "hexagonal" which is probably easier for kids to understand. It means that structures will naturally build right angles and straight lines. The paper instructions included excellent step-by-step directions for 3 structures, showing exactly how many pieces of each color were needed and how to fit them together. There were pictures of a dozen or so other structures that could be built, with several noting that you needed more than one "bucket" to make them in the colors shown. The instructions for those items were accessible by QR-code from the manufacturer website, so not ideal for kids but reasonable especially if you were to print them ahead of time. My grandkid (not quite 4 years old) is not quite up to the recommended 5-year point but was able to connect the flakes herself into a simple straight line and then disassemble it again, but didn't quite grasp the nuance of 2-dimensional building strategy. She's probably a little too young to really appreciate them but will grow into them over the next few months. Nonetheless, she was able to use them adequately. I look forward to many years of building in the future.

We bought these as a gift for a 6-year-old and they were an absolute HIT! His mom told me that his older brother (7-year-old) woke up early the next day to play with them first before his brother got a chance to tell him "no", lol. They built with them for HOURS! I love that they are lightweight, don't hurt when you step on them (like Legos), and have a hole in the center (which will be safer if baby sister puts one in her mouth). These provide endless fun that encourages creativity, problem-solving, and active STEAM play. I HIGHLY recommend!

My students are obsessed with these. They are so fun to create whatever they wish.
