My Grandson, London (2 1/2 yrs.) just loves his workshop. He loves putting things together and then taking them apart. Grandma & Grandpa purchased the workshop for Easter...much better than giving a lot of candy. My daughter said that she loves the shelf on the bottom to store all of the pieces. It is realistic and a great learning tool. Boys just love to tinker no matter what the age. My daughter would recommend it for any child 2 and up.

Overall, we were pleased with the realistic nature of the bench & wooden pieces and the overall quality of the items. Although the "wooden" pieces have many blueprints of projects for toddlers to make, the bench itself is quite small in height for our 3 & almost 5 year-old sons. The bench doesn't have ample storage for all of the "wooden" pieces which I dislike. I would like to see a bigger bench for toddler-aged children. There isn't one out there-this is the closest we found. Finally, the drill that came with the set didn't work when we opened it Christmas day, so our sons had to wait for a replacement drill to play with their present.

    Great product for the price. Really realistic, my son loves it. The only thing I can think might need inproving is the drill bit easily falls out sometimes but other than that....Its kinda short so its not for taller children

      This was a Christmas gift for my 3 year old son. He loves it. The foam wood pieces make fun easy projects for him to put together.

      The drill that comes with the set feels cheap and doesn't work the greatest. We purchased one separately which worked out well.

      Bought this for my 2.5 yr. old grandson and immediately was excited and involved. He did not know what to do first, drill, hammer. He was soooo excited. To my surprised, don't know why, my 5 yr. old granddaughter immediately started playing with it also. Cute, cute toy. Sturdy and well constructed which is why I love Step 2 products.
