Guide Review - Hexabits - Building and Construction Toy
Hexabits are great for building up your child's imagination, as one has to be inventive to come up with new designs. Younger kids will find the Hexabits too challenging, so I would say the construction toy is more suited for older age groups. There is a learning curve involved to get comfortable with the little pieces and the way they interlock together. Once that is overcome, the fun begins, and the building possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
