Good toy for toddlers

This toy is really cute. I got it for a 4 year old and he likes playing with it but I think it would’ve been better for him a year ago. He likes that the box transforms for play but the cutouts don’t really stay up which is frustrating

Toddler loves it!!

My toddler has played with this every day for 2 weeks! I got this at a Black Friday deal, thinking why not?, and I’m glad I did! Awesome drill, easy for older toddlers to hold and still feel like big kids. Quality of drill is amazing! Much better than other toy drills we’ve had in the past. Excited to buy more from this brand!!

Super fun to watch kids play with

My son loved playing with this. I will say, however, that after one day most of the pieces were missing. That's mostly my fault for not staying on top of it. He still finds the green base, bolts and the drill and loves to screw the bolts in. I would have to say his favorite part is using the drill. It's so cute and easy to hold. My son is 3 and he was able to figure out how to use it all on his own. The barn is cute as well. It's made of high-quality plastic and comes with a page full of stickers to put on it. You put stickers on it for the windows and animals in the barn. Then, once you have everything set up, you get to use the box to build the rest of the farm. It has roads and trees and other cute drawings to add to the experience. Everything is perforated nicely and doesn't tear when setting it up. I do believe this has helped my son's motor skills and also helped him think outside the box. Overall, this is very well designed and lives up to its description. I'm fairly confident your toddler will love this just as much as mine does.

so fun

This toy is so fun and creative to use. The best toys are open-ended, and this one definitely fits the bill as your child can build all different designs in the farm house. I love that the barn creates a storage box for all the pieces. It is so much fun!

really nice but they sent a plane not the farm

nice little toy that allows your child to feel like they are assembling their toy themselves, the drill works nicely and only takes 2 batteries, my daughter really enjoyed operating the drill, she said it made her feel like daddy out in the shop, she really enjoys it and has assembled and disassembled the plane many times and it still works like new, a very nice toy that i recommend

very cute toy!

My daughter already had a tool set from this brand before and she loves it, and she loves animals so I knew she was going to like this as well! Its a really cute Barn set that you get to design yourself with stickers and all the pieces to screw in. She did need some help, but she is able to use the battery operated drill pretty well on her own! Really fun/different toy that helps with hand-eye coordination and helps them learn skills for the future!

Extremely well made and a good educational toy.

The media could not be loaded. On opening this box it was obvious from the quality of the contents that it’s been made to an excellent standard and ideal for kids aged 3+. I actually gave this to a three and five year old and they loved it…fought a little over who used the drill so as a parent you may need to arbitrate. So the box needs to be opened with care as it creates a play board. As it’s only made of cardboard this won’t realistically last too long and my two youngsters weren’t really bothered with it. The farmhouse is really nice. The back clips off to create the field and there are stickers to add some extra details. The doors open on the farmhouse and it also has holes into which you can fit the bolts that hold the characters. You get four farm animals and a farmer as well as fences, sweetcorn and flowers. The drill is a really nice interactive toy. It requires 2 AA batteries and you need a tiny Phillips screwdriver to remove the battery casing. The drill operates both in forward and reverse with the flick of a switch. I also liked the fact that you could see the gears revolving through the plastic cover on the side of the drill. You have to position the drill correctly over the bolt head and then drive it into position. The drill even has a ratchet sound. If you get it slightly off centre it won’t work….see my video. You then fit your character onto the bolt to hold it in position. These also have to be positioned in line with the bolt head. The three year old initially found this tricky but eventually got the hang of it. My youngsters built a path of bolts and just moved the characters around in line with their imagination. I was able to talk to them about colours and animals and how to line up the shapes to get the characters to fit. They could both operate the drill after a bit of practice. We had a most enjoyable couple of hours watching them play with this toy and I thought it had good educational value. When it was time to pack everything away all the bits and pieces fit inside the farmhouse which is ideal for storage. This set costs £45 at time of writing this review and having looked into this brand you can buy additional kits to expand your child’s experience. As it’s fairly expensive I think you would want to be sure your child is into building things before you purchase it but if you are confident that your youngster would love to get their hands on a drill then it is worth the money and is a quality make. There are no rough edges and it’s a robust toy. In conclusion this went down very well with my young visitors and they played happily and constructively once we made them take turns with the drill.

BUILD a barn, cute construction toy for preschoolers...

I think this is really cool, it’s a compact playhouse with a barn theme and lots of interchangeable component parts to encourage freeform creativity and keep young kids occupied (3-5 age range is ideal for this I think). The barn itself doesn’t require any assembly but all the stickers to bring it to life come on a sheet and need to be sorted before play (this is part of the excitement though). You also get an assortment of cute characters which themselves can be mixed and matched so there’s better scope for creative play. An electric screwdriver (a “boltdriver” if you will) is included but if you get caught short without the batteries needed, the bolts are all large enough to be able to twist them into position by hand (some children may well prefer this tactile option over using the drill); regardless, it's wonderful for developing fine motor skills and quite rewarding for young children to be able to interact in this way. I think it's great; a very accessible construction toy with a high degree of playability that encourages skill development, interactivity and learning. As a side note, we also have the plane from this range which I think is a bit more basic from a construction point-of-view compared to this barn house which comes with lots more parts and feels more open-ended and customisable. The two toys can be played together in any case; both have the same style and fit the farm yard theme. B o n u s : don’t throw the box away! It unfolds into a landscape for additional play. N o t e : Electric bolt driver requires 2x AA batteries and a tiny screwdriver to open the base plate (neither are included).

Great product

This is a really good practical learning toy for kids. It gets them thinking and being creative. My daughter found this farm toy a lot of fun. It comes with a child safe screwdriver which is see through so makes it even more interesting that you can see the working parts of the screwdriver too! unfortunately the screwdriver doesn't come with batteries, it takes 2 AA batteries and needs a small screwdriver to open. Be careful on opening the box as it doubles up as a play mat which is an ingenious thought/design - although cardboard isn't the most durable for a small child! This play set comes with a number of characters and animals, crops and flowers. The back of the building unclips to make a field, my daughter has had lots of fun adding fences, crops, moving the people and animals around, the screwdriver fits well over the bolts which are supplied and it is so easy to use. There is also a qr code to scan and that gives you a lot more information and activities to carry out. The building and other pieces are well made, good quality and the product also doubles up for storage for all the pieces. A Well thought out product.

Very happy with this farm

This is a great interactive toy to play with. I love the little battery powered drill to assemble the farm how you like. It encourages creative play. My 2 year old really has taken to this, she has played with it every single day since we received it. I have popped all the bolts and pieces in a sand which bag to store in the farm and the drill fits nicely in the top section where the roof is so it’s nice and compact to store. The box it comes in can be folded out and set out as a little farmers market which gives you extra play options. Very good quality toy, would recommend. Currently priced at just under £40 which is reasonable for the quality.
