About Zometool:
The quality and addictive fun were noticed this year by several prestigious award organizations. Dr. Toy named Creator 3 and Ice Crystals & Stars her 2012 Best Picks Winners. Creative Child Awards gave Creator 1 its 2012 Top Toy of the Year Award in the Build Construction Catory and 2012 Kids Product of the Year Award in the Kids Educational Product Category. And since the kits are made in Colorado, they were inducted into the Made in the USA Hall of Fame by the Made in the USA Foundation.
Not to brag, but Zometool has been used by some of the smartest people in the world from NASA
scientists to Nobel Prize winners. The same balls and primary color struts placed in the hands of middle schoolers have been known to open up a new world of 3-D thinking. Educators, parents, scientists, artists and college grads enjoy playing with the building pieces as much as the 6 to 16 year olds.
My daughter really had fun playing with the Zometool. She started by copying from the book, but finished up by creating on her own. Not only is this a good toy for quiet time, or rainy days if you use the enclosed booklet you will be able to do projects together with your child.
GREAT GIFT IDEA! Be sure to visit their website and see the other kits available. Ranging in price from $10- $62 there is a kit available for every budget and interest level. Oh, and here is the link to the Zometool Facebook page and Zometool Twitter page.
