Advantages: good toy

Disadvantages: price

We bought my grandson the Brio 34534 Builder System: Construction Vehicles Set. This set cost us £39.99p.

The recommended age for this toy is 5 years. I think that's about right a child may be able to manage to build this at a bit earlier age but certainly over 4 years old. I think I can see Adrian playing with this until he is about 8 years old

This set comes with 244 pieces and includes a flashing light and engine sounds. There are 2 button batteries needed these came with the set. There are heavy duty wheels and linking pieces to make a caterpillar track also included are 3 plastic tools a screwdriver, a hammer a spanner.

Basically this set makes construction vehicles; it will make 5 different ones. It makes a digger, a carrying truck a caterpillar vehicle and other pieces of machinery I do not know the name off

The pieces are made of wood and plastic the main construction pieces to make the trucks are wooden. There are plastic screws /nuts and bolts a plastic bucket a plastic compartment for the driver. The caterpillar tracks are plastic too.

Brio construction sets are really good toys they are ones that children will play with happily and learn while they are playing.
A child will get value playing with this on his /her own or with other children. Playing with this toy constructing vehicles helps their fine and gross motor skills. This set will inspire and encourage your Childs creativity.
Once built your child can play with the vehicles and Adrian was fascinated by the fact it had a light and made engine noises. Adrian pushed his creations around using them to construct and move other objects, Adrian is playing at being a construction worker. His friends can join in too helping them learn co-operative play, how to share

Brio construction is well made the pieces robust. This brio set would be suitable for a child care situation or for home. I am sure it will still be in a good condition to sell after my 2 grandchildren have outgrown it, or they will be able to keep it for the next generation.

Overall Yes I think this is a good toy I am sure it will provide hours of play.
