"But design and construction is only half the fun. As parents know, there are few toys as exciting to young children as large boxes, which can transform in a child's mind into planes, trains, automobiles and more. Your children's TOOBEEZ creations will inspire imaginative play, and they are a lot more durable than a cardboard box!
TOOBEEZ can grow with your child. Younger children might need help figuring out how to build more complex designs, but older children will enjoy the challenge of trying to replicate a design or construct something original. And adults will be tempted to play with them too."

"[Building with Toobeez] was so easy my 3 year old could do it. We added the slide on curtains and they did a mini puppet show, then we threw some blankets over it, gave them their lanterns and played inside. There was room for their mini couches, me, some stuffed animals, [two] blankets and [two] kids. We changed the configuration easily about 5 times...
"Before the kids went to bed we had to talk them into pulling it down promising them we could put it together again tomorrow. We put all the pieces into a giant storage bag that was included with the set. Love the bag because it easily holds all of the pieces, zips up and has handles for easy transport...I doubt we will be running out of things to make with Toobeez.
"...the possibilities are endless. Whether you are a school teacher, gym teacher, Occupational Therapist, Brownie leader, home schooler, you won't run out of ways to utilize Toobeez."

"My thirteen-year-old high functioning son on the autism spectrum used to spend hours building Bionicle Lego toys. They were displayed all over the house. Now we have Toobeez, which is similar to tinker toys, but on a much larger scale...
Toobeez is suitable for indoor and outdoor fun while being portable to take to the beach, vacation, school and camp. The creations can be made solo, as a family or a group activity. This will help spark the imagination of kids within all age ranges.
You can use the Toobeez to make items you would normally have to buy in the store, like a cat house can be put together with the tubes and spheres - this idea is courtesy of Nicholas...[Toobeez are] sure to keep kids engaged indoors while stuck inside...Nicholas has made a cube, helicopter, cat house, fort, windmill, scooter and a trampoline.
Nicholas says it is fun and entertaining and that you can never get bored with the TOOBEEZ. If you are looking for something to spark imagination or creativity in your child, this is the ultimate giant construction building toy for kids of all ages. This makes a great activity for a birthday party, summer party, holiday gift and something to have at grandparents house for visits. Therapists, clinics and support groups take note of this educational building toy."

Mike Parsons, a special education teacher, says his kids "ate it up!" Working with a mixed population of 12-17 year old teens who are severely emotionally challenged, with varied diagnoses, Parsons' goal "to make school here as positive and successful and experience that we possibly can." When he first introduced Toobeez to these students in his classroom, he met with instant success: "We split the kids into two groups. I stood a large mat on its side, so that they couldn't see each other's ideas. I simply asked them to 'build a house.' They INSTANTLY kicked into cooperation mode. They were communicating, sharing ideas- you could almost hear their minds working. I was flabbergasted!"
