What We Think

Fun factor:

Durability:

Ease of assembly:

Educational factor:

The Good: Durable, non-splinter logs are an enjoyable, educational building tool. The Challenging: Might be too linear and simplistic for more advanced builders. In a Nutshell: A classic building toy that continues to teach and entertain.

Outstanding Detail and Craftsmanship This bicentennial collector's tin features the sort of high-quality craftsmanship we've come to expect from Lincoln Logs over the years. Each log has been cut from high-quality wood, and stained in a rich brown varnish. In addition, select pieces, like the roof slats and eaves, are stained with red or green coloring. The logs are sturdy, strong, and splinter-proof, which means kids experience sliver-free play.

A Timeless, Educational Building Toy Invented in 1916 by John Lloyd Wright, Lincoln Logs might seem out of place in an age of electronic toys and technical gadgetry. However, these simple wooden toys have an undeniable charm that stretches across generations, and remain popular today. They've sold over 100 million sets worldwide.

Playing with Lincoln Logs is simple and enjoyable. Logs come in different lengths, and have notches cut into them where other logs can interlock. Smaller children should have no problem handling the logs when playing. More advanced builders might feel limited by the linearity of building with Lincoln Logs. Still, there's enough variety in this tin to construct dozens of cabins, watchtowers and more. Even adults will enjoy the nostalgia while playing with kids.

Although they are simple, the interlocking wooden pieces teach kids engineering skills, enabling them to think like an architect would. Log structures also require a little finesse to assemble, which will develop kids' hand-eye coordination and spatial reasoning. Recommended for ages three and older.

What's in the Box 100 Lincoln Log pieces, including 87 wood logs, 8 green wood logs, 2 green wood roof slats, 2 red wood eaves, 1 red wood chimney, and instructions.
