Google ‘nugget builds’ and see what others have created with this thing! It’s a blast for the kids and parents. My son LOVES when I surprise him with a new creation and I love seeing his creative mind at work as he tries his own ideas. Highly recommend for a wide age variety- even our 14 YO will sneak in and play with it!
