Our grandson loves to build with this set we recently got him. He became familiar with these at a hospital we visited. We saw he liked them. I have a Lincoln Log set when I was a child & incorporated along with other toys while playing which he seems to do on his own. it has a lot of the small log pieces, so I would recommend keeping everything together in the box when playing is finished so that the next time the child wants to play with it, it will all be there!
