love that we use these products in math, science, blocks, the use is endless. did not like that the pully rope would get tangled which did not make it kid user friendly

Students love the tools for our block center. All my students can't wait to visit the block center. The tools are sturdy and durable. They are equipped for small hands and inspire conversations about how things work. Thank you .

the machines seem fine however I expected that a set of blocks would come with them

Children lose interest in machines with the length of time it takes to crank them up - especially with the same mechanism on each of the three machines. Sturdy wood but not worth the price for how little engagement they provide.

I have these simple machines in my block area and the kids are able to get them if they would like to add them to their creations. They love all three of them, but the conveyor belt is probably the most popular one (even if they small wedge underneath sometimes goes missing). The only small glitch is that sometimes the string comes off the crane. This is quickly fixed by an adult and the kids are off and running again.
