Discovery Toys Motorworks Review and Giveaway!

I was excited when Krista contacted me to do a review of a Discovery Toys product. I was even more excited when this arrived in the mail. Discovery Toys Motorworks. This junior mechanic set comes with a screwdriver, a working power tool (requiring 2 AA batteries), and all the parts to build three vehicles. The vehicles include a race car, prop plane and motorcycle. Also included are a toolbox to keep everything in, manual, extra tool bit and extra screws. This toy is recommended for children 4 years and up.

You can see the full company description here.

My kids have had an absolute blast with this toy. We have been playing with it daily since receiving it. It is very easy for them to manipulate. The screws go in and out easily and they both love the power tool! My 4-year-old spends a lot of time sorting out the different colored of screws into piles and then tries to figure out which pieces go to which vehicle. He is completely content sitting there putting the vehicles together and then taking them apart. I love that it comes with a toolbox to keep everything in. There are lots of little pieces, so this toy is not recommended for children under 3 due to this reason. I was very impressed with the sturdiness of the product as well. My kids have put the vehicles together, driven them all around the house, taken them back apart, and put them back together again. They are surely going to get a lot of wear around this house!

My overall impression of this toy is a good one. The toy seems tough to break which is a good thing around our house. The toy teaches order of operation, following instructions, color matching, and helps develop hand eye coordination. These things hit the learning stage my 4 year old is in right now. As I said above this toy keeps his attention for a long time. My (soon to be) 3 year old enjoys the toy on a different level. I think he is a little too busy for it right now, but he loves the tools and playing with the cars when they are put together. I would recommend this toy if your child is in the same stage my 4 year old is in as it appears to be a well built toy that helps development and is fun to play with.
