We purchased the STEM Explorer’s Pixel Art set for our 5-year-old, and it has been a great hands-on learning activity. The kit includes picture references that kids can follow to complete the image using a coordinate-like system, which helps build early math, spatial awareness, and focus. Our child enjoyed matching the colors and paying attention to placement, and it kept him engaged without feeling overwhelming. It’s a fun way to introduce problem-solving and attention to detail in a very kid-friendly format. Overall, it’s an excellent educational activity that combines creativity with learning, and we would definitely recommend it for young children interested in building and visual challenges.

My kids LOVE these! I have three kids ages 5-9 and they all love playing with these! They made a fun, educational and affordable gift thank each kid enjoyed in their own way. My oldest is a rule follower so she’s follow the prompt to the “T” where my five year old is super independent and creative and loves making things that she saw in her mind. Assembly is practically non existent which we LOVE in our busy household and it’s awesome that we found something that they all love despite the age gaps.

I love learning resources. Their toys are great and give my kids something more to play with that is fun but also educational. I got this for my Minecraft obsessed 4 year old and he seems to like it. My biggest complaint is the cubes are just foam and are super lightweight so if you aren't careful they can move around. The board does have a grid so they do nestle in there but it's still not perfect. I wish they were plastic. You are also only given a limited number of cubes per color based on the designs they show you in the guide book. So if you want to do your own thing you are limited to only the colors they give. If that makes any sense.

I bought two of these for a student activity center in my first grade class. It is a big hit.

I got these to help my kiddos to learn graphing a little bit. These was fun to do and I'll continue to use them. The kids had a blast putting them together and to see what it was. I even as a adult had fun doing the patterns and graphing.

My kid loved this. The designs have varying degrees of difficulty and challenges. You have patterns that you can copy as-is and the harder ones challenge the child to figure out coordinates and coding-type sequences.

Good idea, poor QC. The board is well made and the ideas in the booklet are fun. It starts off with showing how the pictures are made and the number of blocks needed to make the picture and progresses in complexity of design to instructions that would make a middle schooler think. The problem comes from the foam blocks they included. While some of them fit into the slots, a lot were either too large or too small. The foam is only 9mm high when the slots are supposed to be 10mm. Also, some of the cuts in the foam weren’t complete or were too large at 10.5mm. The foam itself is also too lightweight for ease of use and pop out of the slots way too easily. Since I have a 3D printer, I printed out all the cubes in the appropriate colors. This allowed my son to still have fine dexterity but was more forgiving in placement since I made the blocks 9.9mm cubed and they weighed more than the foam ones. I only recommend this product to kids older than 7-8 since the foam is too lightweight or if you have a 3D printer to make your own blocks. I’d also only buy this product if it was $20 or less. The quality isn’t worth a higher premium.

Product only comes with 1 board, not 3 as the misleading image on the box implies

Al comprarlo pensé que las piezas serían de plástico duro, pero son de espuma, lo cual no está mal y resulta útil porque pesa poco. Lo llevamos en un bolsito cuando salimos a cenar por ahí con el niño, para que se entretenga. La verdad es que está muy bien. Lo recomiendo.

Mes élèves de CP et de CE1 l'ont utilisé toute l'année et il fait partie de leurs ateliers autonomes préférés.

Compré este artículo como regalo sorpresa de navidad, a mi hijo le gustó. Le gusta realizar pixel art en el cuaderno cuadriculado, manipular piezas y pensé que sería un buen regalo. Viene con todo lo que explica en la caja, trae un libro con varios desafíos de distintos niveles primero con el dibujo, luego se sustituye por números y al final ya ubicando en la cuadrícula con números (adjunto imágenes). Es un excelente regalo para desarrollar la ubicación espacial, interpretar códigos, cumple al 100% con su categoría de Stem. El único detalle que vi fue que los cubos son de foami (si es muy resistente), pero pensé que eran de plástico duro, tengo las uñas largas y se quedan marcadas en el foami, no es impedimento para nada ni perjudica en nada. A mí hijo no le llamó mucho la atención al principio porque se esperaba que fueran magnetos en forma de cubo (fue regalo sorpresa, él no lo pidió igual lo usa para hacer diseños que no vienen en el libro). En resumen lo recomiendo mucho para desarrollar habilidades en sus niños, fue una buena compra.

My kids love to sit and make things with this! The possibilities and imagination is endless!
