He used to build LEGO for an hour. Now he can't sit still for ten minutes without a screen.

Pieces fall, the kid gets frustrated, and the set ends up in the bin by week two. MindBuild™ uses a vertical slatted board that grips each piece — so blocks don't tumble at the wrong moment, and kids can build dense, complex shapes without restarting every five minutes. Pair that with the pattern cards and you've got a puzzle that gets harder as your kid gets smarter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Parents Keep MindBuild™ Out on the Coffee Table\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost \"educational toys\" end up forgotten in a closet within a month.
