Title: A Great Thinking Toy
Review: My daughter just turned 9 and had received a small Ello kit a few months prior in her Easter basket. I didn't really *get* it until she showed me the display at the toy store.I was pleasantly surprised by the price and bought her two sets for her birthday - a people set and the larger Ellopolis...she loves them.What I love is that this isn't a brainless toy associated with a movie, TV show or cartoon character. It requires thought and creativity. I appreciate that the pictures are "ideas" and not detailed plans. Legos are great - but how creative is it to buy a kit and build it precisely according to plan?There are small pieces but no more so than Legos. Hayley has a plastic bin that she works out of - larger enough to hold pieces she doesn't want to disassemble and parts she has yet to use.
