Product Review: ZinkoTek Building System
The ZinkoTek Building System is one that most kids dream of.
With 276 pieces that are soft, easy to sort, and fit together with each other perfectly, they allow building flexibility to create small simple shapes. But at the same time, the pieces are large enough to allow large structures to be erected!
The ZinkoTek Building System is fun for children ages 3 through 13! Because this building set has so many different ways of play, it grows with children. A three year old child will begin putting the pieces together to create small-scale models while sorting pieces by shape and color. As a child grows, they continue to build bigger and more elaborate structures. Older children really love the aspect of the ZinkoTek system – they can actually fabricate buildings they can enter and stand inside. Large scale structures like airplanes, forts, and make-believe robots can be constructed.
Kids love to interact with their creations, and ZinkoTek makes that possible. This kind of play sparks great imagination and creativity, both of which are crucial to full child development. We think this is one of the greatest features of the ZinkoTek for both boys and girls. Creating a massive structure that is bigger than they are is universally appealing to all kids!
Not many building sets are designed to be used outdoors. Wood blocks don’t hold up to the elements, and metal sets rust and corrode. But the ZinkoTek pieces are made of fairly soft EVA foam that is weatherproof, so it can be played with outside as well as indoors. And because the pieces are soft and pliable, there are no worries about young children getting hurt while playing with any part of the set.
Kids quickly find ways to incorporate ZinkoTek into their play with other toys. Castles are created to house pet dragons. A detached garage is needed to park the tricycle. The summer cottage is built for the teddy bear clan. And who wouldn’t like a child-sized drive-thru for your friends to pedal up to?
ZinkoTek is certainly the large-scale building set that will grow with your kids for years of creative play!
We highly recommend this imaginative building set!
