build a robot a fun step to space May 14, 2009
By sabby
Build a Robot is a good game to have, and inexpensive enough to have at home as an emergency birthday gift for young children. For 2 to 4 players of almost any age, though children under 3 with supervision and best for younger children, maybe 7 and younger. It takes very little shelf space, comes in a strong glossy box that probably repels water. Toy has limited educational value, but it is educational. Children use number recognition, and match shapes and numbers. They use their creative skills putting together their robots, and can even use the robot pictures on the box top to help guide their assembly. Children can use creative play after building their robots, like naming their robots and interacting. The game has bright colors and a space theme that is a good lead toward space exploration or interest in science. In fact, I want my children to have an interest in science, and believe Build a Robot is a good influence in that direction. My six-year-old prefers games where he does things; he enjoys the opportunity to spin, build, choose, and stay busy. Takes just a short time to play. Even my husband and I enjoy playing it with the kids.

 Nice game for preschool kids Jan 04, 2009
By N. Link
This (and all Eeboo games) are great for the 2 1/2 to 4-year-old preschool crowd. Sturdy and well-made, with ultra-cute illustrations. The game itself isn't difficult, but don't underestimate the good of learning how to take turns and playing with simple rules. It's a quick game (yay for adults) and can also be played alone (double yay)!
Bonus: Retro, non-threatening robot theme is adorable and almost universally appealing.

This is a great game for preschool age children! Oct 24, 2010
By Kat
We got this game for our son for his 5th birthday and he loves it. The wonderful thing is that our 3 year old enjoys it too. It helps with number recognition, puzzle building skills, turn taking, and so much more. I would highly recommend this game!

 Limited fun for very little ones Oct 25, 2011
By Briana Tomkinson
Bought for my 4-year-old's birthday, but it would have been a better gift for my two-year-old. The game isn't fun, so my kids play with it as a puzzle, mixing and matching robot pieces. I think my two-year-old gets some educational value out of it, but there's little scope for imagination for the four-year-old. The pictures are cute, but there's not enough to sustain an older preschooler's interest for long.

 This is NOT for ages 5 and up! Jul 16, 2010
By Glenn M. Thompson
Ages 5 and up? Seriously?!? Our kids are certainly above average, like all kids in Lake Wobegon, but I find it hard to believe children in Kindergarten or, nature forbid, First Grade, would play a game where you only need to know the numbers 1-5. The "robots" are two-dimensional, despite the graphic on the box that hints at standing robots with springs. There is absolutely no strategy. Players must collect a tool first, then five robot puzzle pieces, so the game play is very short. The directions attempt to enrich the game by suggesting that players describe the robots when they have been assembled. This can be done with crayon and paper or sidewalk chalk.
I am seriously frustrated by marketers who package games for sales with no thought to honesty in the description. Do not buy this game at any price. Now back to all of the strong women and good looking men...
