We find a slight nomenclature problem with some Wedgits sets: We would call this the "starter set," and the pack labeled "starter set" we think should be "Junior." We think the names are historical accident - when this set was named, it was "junior" to the "deluxe," and when the set with the larger octahedrons came along, the name was already taken. Oh well. This is the most basic set in the standard line, and a very suitable starting point for all but the youngest children.

From the Manufacturer
You will be amazed at the unique designs that your child can create with the WEDGiTS Junior building block set. As kids get older they desire more challenge and stimulation. WEDGiTS Junior set adds yet another dimension to the WEDGiTS Starter set with the addition of a small octahedron shape. Designs take on more life-like character, or, unique link-ability. Watch as an inch-worm actually comes to life. You'll be amazed when your child asks you, What does my WEDGiTS owl say?, or, Look, my WEDGiTS dog sits when I tell him. This 15-piece building toy has five progressive block sizes that nest, stack, link and even ¿wedge' together. Kids create 3D sculptures, futuristic space craft, towering structures and mechanically levered creatures. Children are fascinated with the endless designs they can create with their WEDGITS¿ set. The natural ¿learning-value' of the WEDGiTS blocks provide support in critical thinking skills. Geometric reasoning is developed as children figure out how to build and align angularly and multi-dimensionally. Kids develop scientific principle foundations as they link WEDGiTS into water molecules and crystal like structures. WEDGiTS...build your mind

Customer Reviews

Excellent Toy
My five year old twins recieved the deluxe set (basically 2 Junior sets packaged together) for their birthday a few days ago and have been playing with them nonstop ever since. Its the first thing they pick up when they wake up in the morning. My children love building things so it is hard to say whether a child who doesn't enjoy that kind of activity would love them as much but the wedgits are fascinating, colorful and easy to manipulate. My kids delight in building their own structures as well as the many designs in the book and haven't needed much outside help from me. When they go to bed I play with them too. The toy in its plastic holder is attractive, almost like a piece of modern art. Overall a great toy.

Wedgits Construction
Wedgits offer entertainment value while exercising one's ability to figure out the various picture puzzles to construct. The picture cards vary from easy to difficult, the pieces feel good to work with, and figuring out a picture offers its own reward. One can work out their own designs as well. These have captured the attention of older children as well as the young. Adults easily get pulled into the wedgit challenge making it a fun time to spend with little ones. These make great gifts in which to build a collection. I haven't been able to find anyone selling a used outgrown collection to have available at "Grandma's house", however, indicating others are finding these to be keeper toys.

"My favorite blocks"
My son (age 5) received this 3 months ago for his birthday -- and is constantly playing with it. He liked it so much that we bought it for his best friend too. We are looking forward to getting additional sets in the future so he can expand on his creations.
