Nano Blocks Fever
Nano Rabbit
The kids have been asking for Nano blocks to play with since they were introduced to it at K’s birthday party in March. Similar to Lego but in much smaller scale and certainly takes lesser space on the display cabinet in the house after it has been fixed up.
A few weeks back there was a sale at a major shopping center and I purchased the rabbit, electric guitar and grand piano sets for the kids to try out.
The electric guitar
All of them were eager to try fixing their new sets however the level of interest waned rather quickly when they found difficulties following the instructions and manipulating the small pieces.
Tiger girl gave up after she saw the instruction manual as it was beyond her ability to comprehend as a three year old. Instead she did the ultra smart thing- pestering me to fix it for her and hurrying me at it as she felt that taking 10 minutes to complete the figuring was an EXTREMELY long time.
The White Grand Piano
Doggie boy fixed half his electric guitar before conveniently passing it over to me to complete the figuring for him citing that it was a bit too difficult to comprehend.
Monkey boy and his creation
Only Monkey boy had the patience to complete his set from start to finish on his own. I guess that age does play a part in understanding the complexity of the instructions and following it through.
Do you kids love Nano Blocks too?

We also have those small sets, but I’m not sure if ours are Nano Blocks. We have a Despicable Me minion and a Master Yoda. So quick and easy to complete. Perfect for my 8-year old.

I think my son is not ready for nano blocks yet. I only give him the bigger version first. Later on I consider getting the same. 🙂

Are those the same as K’nex? Maybe not, but my kids love the legos and the K’nex!
Those are pretty cool designs too!

There are many many designs.. we just did a few more this week with the kids. – Places of interest, animals and different objects each set is min 100 pcs.

My little one is not ready for it either, right now she’s into dolls, musical toys and books.

The Nano is perfect for my little boy once he gets little older, Your son did a great job completing the whole thing, It looks really nice..:)

Mine are still too young for Nano Blocks. They love their Duplos and Legos though!

How innovative the makers of Nano block are! And it’s nice to keep your boy busy and his mind active while finishing this project 🙂

We don’t have nano blocks. Only toy cars (lots of them!) for my son is a Lightning McQueen and Mater fanatic! 🙂

Cute stuff! You have very talented boys! But this is the first time Iv heard of nano blocks, so supposed to be quite smaller than the lego? I would love to check this out when I go to Toy Kingdom 🙂

We don’t have nano blocks but we have similar building blocks which my toddler son loves to play with. He always imagine things with it like planes or trains and he always ask his dad to build one for him. haha! 🙂
Nano blocks look interesting

I do remember the LEGO brand that we used to play when we were still kids.

Those are cute. Might consider buying these for our son. We’ll try to look for those here.

I think I love to play this one. Yes, it is for me. 😀 The nerd in me loves puzzles.

Now’s the first time I hear about Nano blocks, those look really cute! My nephew loves his blocks, but I don’t think he can follow instructions for figures like that yet. He will also probably pass it on to us to make for him. hehe. But in a year or two maybe he’ll be ready 🙂

First time I heard of Nano blocks…. but toys like this are really great for the minds of the kids… of course, age has something to do with them being successful in creating the end product!

Smaller than Lego? Could be a bit more difficult to handle but I guess for small hands, no problem. Toys like this build creativity and patience. 🙂

Those kinds of toys make kids creative. I have been seeing lots of block toys around for kids to tinker with. Good to see that not all toys are electronic.
