Today we
received a lovely new building set from Learning Resources to review called
Candy Construction. It’s a set of rods
and connectors that can be used to create all sorts of different
structures. It’s great for developing
Ethan’s Creativity as well as his Physical Development in putting the pieces
together.
The set is
available to buy from the Learning Resources website and sells for £27.95. The recommended age range is from 4 years and
up, so Ethan is a little bit young for it, but still got a lot out of it. The set itself is really well made and good
quality, it comes in a box with a carry handle (which I really appreciate, I
like a place for everything to go) and I definitely think it’s good value for
money.
Ethan was
excited to open up the box and unwrap all of the little pieces, he doesn't eat
a lot of candy, but he did recognise the pieces that look like chocolate and
thought that was quite funny! The first
thing that we tried to create was a car (of course) which was quite fun, and
then we made a house. I followed the
instructions in the booklet that’s included, often doing one side of the house
first to show Ethan and then giving him the opportunity to copy what I had
done. He was able to follow my
instructions and put the pieces together, only needing help to click them in as
he’s not quite strong enough to do it himself.
We had a lot
of fun building with this set, it’s lovely because it’s very different to the
other block construction sets that we have.
I look forward to building lots of different things with Ethan and
seeing his creativity begin to shine through.
