Review: Well made, open-ended building set! - My 5-year old loves this building set. It is very good quality, and the picture are sturdy enough for him to build bridges and other structures and take them apart over and over again. The pieces are made from very strong plastic and the instruction cards show how to easily put pieces together to create bridges, an elevator, and baby other things. I highly recommend this product. I hope you find my review helpful! Review: Wonderful activity toy for creative thinkers. - We purchased this for our grandson’s fifth birthday and were very impressed with the detailed instructions and suggestions that necessitates adult/child time with the child doing the work and the adult being the encourager. The directions and questions got an eager response from our yet non reader. We enjoyed how it made him work on figuring things out and then think about how he would do things differently (or not). Problem solving skills were challenged and worked through. The suggested projects are great and the possibilities endless! ## Features - BUILDS EARLY STEM SKILLS: Hands-on building play introduces kids to basic engineering concepts as they design towers, bridges, and city structures - ENGAGING DESIGN CHALLENGES: Includes activity cards that guide kids through the engineering design process-ask, imagine, plan, create, and improve - MADE FOR YOUNG ENGINEERS: Designed for preschool and early elementary kids who enjoy creative building, problem solving, and STEM toys - OPEN-ENDED BUILDING PLAY: Kids can follow guided challenges or build their own city creations, encouraging creativity and critical thinking - CITY-THEMED ENGINEERING SET: An 89-piece building kit with cards and stickers that works perfectly on tables at home, in classrooms, or homeschool spaces ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0728L78KC | | Age Range Description | 60 months to 96 months | | Best Sellers Rank | #103,564 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #3,193 in Toy Building Sets | | Brand Name | Learning Resources | | Color | Multi-color | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,330 Reviews | | Educational Objective | Problem Solving Skills | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00765023828436 | | Included Components | Counter toys | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Is Assembly Required | Yes | | Item Dimensions | 10.1 x 3 x 13.8 inches | | Item Type Name | City Engineering and Design Building Set | | Item Weight | 1 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Learning Resources | | Manufacturer Maximum Age (MONTHS) | 96 | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 60.0 | | Manufacturer Part Number | LER2843 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | No Warranty | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Number | LER2843 | | Number of Players | 1+ | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Set Name | City Engineering and Design Building Set | | Supported Battery Types | No batteries required | | Theme | Love | | UPC | 765023828436 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Images ![Learning Resources City Engineering & Design Building Set - Preschool Building Toys, STEM Toys for 5 Year Old, Kids Engineering Kit, STEM Gifts for Kids - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71xMwjoyoRL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How do I buy it?** A: add it to your cart, and purchase!!! **Q: Do the pieces in this set interlock with the Gears Gears Gears pieces?** A: These gears are the same design in a different scale, so they aren't interchangeable with Gears Gears Gears (these require a much smaller post). But if you can think of a way to use both sets together where all the gears are mounted to their native sets, then I think you could probably get them to turn each other. The teeth are not a tight fit but it seems like it would work, more or less. But like, are they made to work together, no, it doesn't look like it. **Q: Would this be too advanced for a 5 yesr olds birthday? His mom asked for building and block sets** A: No, My five-year-olds love to play with this in my classroom. They get creative as they try to build and rarely follow any directions in trying to build it. **Q: Are these compatible with construx? Thanks** A: Can’t answer that but probably not ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well made, open-ended building set! *by P***Y on December 8, 2025* My 5-year old loves this building set.

So many educational concepts are taught through STEM, and my boys have a lot of fun with this toy too! The cards are great to show the boys how to build various building like a bridge, a skyscraper, an elevator, etc. Then, they can expand on those ideas and change them or make them differently. On top of that, there is a creative element where the pieces can be used to create a variety of buildings.
