Roylco Straws and Connectors, Pack of 400

These straws have been a hit at our house. Our girls don't usually like "building" toys that much but we tried these out at our local Space and Rocket Center and they were hooked. My 4 yr old and 8 yr old work together to build big projects or sometimes build simpler designs. The only complaint is they aren't very sturdy if you're building something big. They tend to start falling over or need extra support. In a way this is good because it forces them to problem solve and find a way to build better from the foundation or add additional support.

I ended up buying 3 of these product for about 20+ kids in the classroom. The kids spends hours playing into this straw. After a while (within couple of plays) the edge of the straw does crack and split. And that makes the jacks (connectors) unable to hold the straws. But that cracked edges can be taken care of with the clear scotch tapes. The module instructions inside to make the rockets and all requires you to cut some of the straw pieces in half, and I wish that they should've just included the ready made half straws. Each straw is about 8 inches, and its a great ways to teach kids about volumes and distance with this connector.

My grandson is 51/2, and it it so difficult to find a toy that engages him for a length of time. This is his second set of straws and connectors, and he loves it and returns to it . He feels a sense of accomplishment bc he doesn't want his work to be dismantled and put away. It combines engineering and creativity in a way that doesn't frustrate. We love it!

This is the best thing I purchased for my classroom this year.. kids love them so much - and the things they make are impressive.BTW - my Kindergarten students haven't broke any yet! Very sturdy!!

Fun for all ages! The blue straws don't stay connected very well but we have found ways to make it work in our creations.

My kids LOVE these!!! I have since bought again and would love to keep supporting them. I tell all my family and friends about this product! I’d love to share on my IG and fb feed too if that’s ok!?

My 4.5 year old was so excited to build with this. Awesome concept but the pieces pop apart and you can't keep them together. Mom AND dad had to stand ther and hold them in place while son attempted to assemble and they still pooped apart. Very frustrating.

Bought these for my Grant Grand Son, because all by sons, grandchildren, and now great grandsons have always enjoyed building with them. Even loan them out to the neighbors when they have grandkids over. You should see some of their constructions projects!

Pour mes petits enfants. ils adorent

The kids (4 and 8) had a blast. Friendly customer service. Product manufactured in Canada. The straws are more rigid than they were 4 years ago, but they advised it’s to make the structures more stable.

Unserem großen gefiel das Geschenk sehr gut, er kannte es aber auch bereits aus dem Hort. Die Anleitungen sind ein wenig mit bedacht zu betrachten, da man dort viele Teile zerkleinern müsste. Freies bauen gefällt besser. Trotzdem top.

Pour donner en cadeau à un enfant qui aime les jeux de construction. Intéressant de créer.

Super produit mes filles adorent et il joue régulièrement
