**lucypede** · 10-08-2009, 09:07pm

Wow! I think 8

**Helski** · 10-08-2009, 09:08pm

10?

I bet the answer is an 18 month old or something

**Jubjub** · 10-08-2009, 09:09pm

8. I think it would be too hard for a 5 year old to concentrate long enough.

**parkejm** · 10-08-2009, 09:14pm

10? they look fab, whatever age!

**Amanda36** · 10-08-2009, 09:15pm

I think 5, my ds used to sit ages making stuff statues like that.

**Samba** · 10-08-2009, 09:17pm

I thought 8 ... but have a feeling you are going to be a proud mummy and say much lower

**Mrs B** · 10-08-2009, 09:17pm

8 or 10. Berluddy impressive whatever age!

**Bettie May** · 10-08-2009, 09:20pm

Answer: Five!

Can't quite believe it either. Actually if you knew my 8 year old you would know he couldn't concentrate past the first brick!

Here's the master craftsman himself!

Meccanno and so on the Christmas list I think!

Just seen your multiple choice at the bottom

Beautiful structures - 2 questions though:

How long did they take to construct?

How long did it take the 3 year old to knock it down?

**Helski** · 10-08-2009, 09:21pm

Posts crossed - WOW - very impressive!!

**Jubjub** · 10-08-2009, 09:23pm

That is very impressive. I have no experience of 5 yr old boys, but I'm sure that must be remarkable display of ingenuity.

Probably about half an hour...

He actually put the bag over the top of the second one and knocked it all over IN the bag!

He plays with them everyday at the moment and once built the playmobil men get to climb them and have a battle on top.

Yes, none of my older ones were like this at that age.

He seems to just love building things. His report from his teacher said he loves building models from their bricks and boxes etc and usually directs the other kids in what to do!

Hmmm maybe an architect?

**Mrs B** · 10-08-2009, 09:31pm

Wow, seriously good skills.

**Bettie May** · 10-08-2009, 10:11pm

Oh my.... just found these beautiful blocks he would adore.

Only do you think it worrying that mummy can't make head nor tail of their system for working out which set you have...

**Frosta** · 10-08-2009, 10:11pm

I'd say 5.

ETA: Now i've read the whole thread! Very impressive. My (nearly) 4 year old would be good at that too, maybe in a few months mind!

**Damsella** · 10-08-2009, 10:13pm

I was going to say 10. Wow!

They are called Planx if you wanted to look for them although Kapla are similar. Best toy I've ever bought for a family with such a lot of different ages. They all use them.

**L66TTY** · 14-08-2009, 05:59pm

I was going to ask if they were Kapla they are used LOADS at Stiener schools my friends little boy has them and will do great models with help but not normally on his own. So he is doing really well!
