User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Fabulous fun for both grandparents and grandchildren!
Love this product!! Shure – Deluxe World Fusion 218 Pieces

Bought it for our 4 year old grand boy for his birthday and it is a great hit! His Mom has her master’s degree in interior design, is NCIDQ, and works at an architecture firm, and she is absolutely taken with the quality and beauty of the blocks. Great educational toy, fun for parents and children, and I am buying one for myself and my husband from Santa to put under the tree this Christmas! I bought the set for the grandchild yesterday at Books A Million for $149.99, and came to Amazon to buy one for myself. I am disappointed to see the $50 extra price at Amazon. Perhaps they will consider revising the price.

5 Stars Fantastic!
I’ve purchased this toy for my almost 7 year old son and its a sensation!

These are a fantastic construction toy and highly educational because the book that comes along with the blocks includes a series of facts about architecture, architectural history and symbolism; the book has a child friendly design with bright illustrations.

As the perfect touch the book also includes in the last page a guide of how to arrange all the blocks back in the case!! As a parent you’ll understand how important this is.

The quality and design of the product is very good.

I find it a great a toy for all ages (from 5-99, an Architect friend of mine is dying to buy one!), I’m personally delighted playing with it and I think that’s the main idea, that parents can spend time playing with their kids in something both parties can enjoy.

My son loves it and he can follow the built ideas very easily.

It also includes an ID card that you can use on the product website (haven’t visited yet) but I’m sure its worth seen it.

I highly recommend any of these ArchiQuest sets (they come in various sizes and themes, I purchased the biggest one). They are the perfect gift idea for parents that want to add more value into their kids play and also a cool gift for an adult.

Have fun Playing!

5 Stars A great product for thinking kids!
I bought this product for my son and was extremely impressed with the quality, creativity and educational value of this product. As a history and architecture buff, I thought this was a pretty cool building block toy and book for my son but soon I found I had as much fun as my son. So far we have been building all kinds of architectural models, and the book is full of interesting history and fun facts. I highly recommend this product!

4 Stars Fun and Educational
I purchased this Leappad Educational Book for my granddaughter. She is 3 years old and just loves it. I highly recommend Leappad and the various books that accompany it[...]

5 Stars Nice idea
My 3 year old got this with her first leappad and adores Dora, so it was an immediate hit. She listens, repeats and plays quietly for ages.

Well worth a buy for any Dora fan.

3 Stars fun fun fun!
My daughter loves this as Dora is her favorite character. Otherwise its not that educational at all. Pretty much fun and game activities.

5 Stars Good!
My daughter likes this game very well. She plays it every night just before going to bed. I have had no problems with it. She has already mastered all the games on it though within the first day she had it.

5 Stars great! A+++
Worth every penny! We had the Leap Frog already just got the book. Our daughter is to little to really catch on to it, but she loves hearing Dora’s voice, boots too. Well worth it and something she’ll play with for years to come.
