This Puzzibits can be a great choice for a patient child who like building and creating. However, for students with weak visual and/or fine motor skills or who are prone to frustration there are definitely better choices. The kit comes with 1250 rubber hexagons, identical except for the 12 different colors. A child can create anything he chooses, but there are instructions to show how to construct 3-D and 2-D objects. The pieces are well-made and come in a nice carrying case: they will not break and will generally stay together for the child to proudly display his creation. Unfortunately, this also manifests in the pieces being a challenge to snap together for those who are not determined. A good product with some major drawbacks.
