Matchbox meets Legos meets Tinker Toys = Automoblox
When I saw this toy, that is immediately what came to mind. A matchbox that went together like Legos made out of Tinker Toys. You get the building aspect of Legos, the fun car play of matchbox and the creative play of Tinker Toys, without buying all three.
I have never seen anything like it before, I was intrigued. My husbands initial response was the same as mine, that is just cool. He said it reminded him of the toys he used to make as a kid with his Dad. My 7 year old son’s response was simply “That is wicked”. Translation: This toy is really cool!
The Automoblox Mini line is a scaled down version of the traditional Automoblox car. The Mini line of cars have a universal connector system that enables the a quick interchange of part – you can create one big car from all three, your imagination is the limits!
Evan spent an hour taking three of these cars apart making different variations of the car. He was totally enthralled with it. He kept saying “Mom, look what I made!” He even was able to go and register his car on Automoblox’s website . He likes to race them across the kitchen floor — the nice thing.. NO black marks from the tires like matchbox cars.
The full sized Automoblox are just as “wicked”. These are the original larger versions of the Automoblox. They are interchangeable and just as fun to play with!
As both a parent and teacher, I love the Automoblox. There are no loud noisy and beeps, so I appreciate that! I also am happy to find a toy that Evan will play with more than once. I spend my hard earned money on his gifts. Automoblox is something he will be able to play with for quite some time and continue to add to the collection.
From a teacher perspective there is a great educational side to these toys. They help with the development of fine and gross motor skills. Not to mention, these toys help with creative play. I think Automoblox would be a great tool for children who are delayed or struggling developing fine and gross motor skills as well. The
My son is still at an age where he is learning to explore what he can do. I think he enjoyed these because he was able to create so many unique cars. They were all his ideas. His face lit up when he thought of a new creation.
Did I mention that these are not just for boys? Deep down every girl wants a pink sports car (or is that just me?) This pink C9 Automoblox is a great for a little girls. My niece would rather play with cars than dolls. I know I am always thinking what can I buy her for her birthday. She would totally love this car.
