Clothespin Cars (Chicken Socks)

The idea is great, but the quality of the products is not always there (some pieces come defective) and then there are no extra parts so if there is a defect, you just can't make all three cars. I've bought four of these and had three defective parts. As a travel book, for which we purchased them, they are very effective time consumers and entertaining for a long time. The small parts, and no extras, make it a little hard for use in an airplane (as we did) but if you are careful and conscientious it is fine. My boys have used these since age 2.5 and at 3 and love them and use them over and over.

I was looking for other ideas for my craft display of using cloths pins for my craft sales. Kids love them.

Very good book for any little one, especially when we are in the car traveling. Keep them very busy.

Arrived and is exactly as pictured. Boy child will love it.

I made these with my 2.5yo son, and it was a really fun, sweet little project for a rainy afternoon. He needed a good amount of help, but was able to do enough on his own that he felt like he did it himself. The top part is interchangeable so three wheel bases can become several different vehicles. Very cute artwork, and a little cut-out paper city to assemble too. The finished cars are super cute and go really fast, and he really enjoyed them...until his older brothers got home, the cars disappeared into the boy-cave, and promptly got stepped on. The hubcaps that attach the wheels have very thin little plastic pegs to hold them on, so they really can't tolerate any rough handling. Extra parts can be ordered, but I'm annoyed at having to spend more money to repair a toy that only lasted 6 hours, so I may not. I still think this is a very cute kit, for an older preschooler up to maybe first grade, or younger kids if you make sure the cars stay in adult view.

Highly recommend this for parents looking for a good way to occupy traveling tots and young kids. My very active son is 2.5. On a recent overseas trip, we found these in an airport. What a great, small, lightway toy for hours of entertainment during flights/layovers. He needed to be supervised and helped while putting these together, but after that, he played on his own with them for quite a while. Great! Would recommend to buy ahead of the trip, so you can take only the pieces that are needed for the cars. Also, the cardboard buildings require sissors - would be better if they punched out as well. We gave another set to my 6 year old nephew and he had a blast with them too.

Easy assembly for 4 and 7 year old. Easy to bring on vacation. Kept children busy for a good amount of time.
