Unique connections make a unique building experience

ZOOB Pieces

ZOOB sets have 5 different styles of pieces that snap together in 20 ways to make connections that rotate, limbs that extend, axels that spin and much more. The pieces move after they're built together, so your child can create toys to play with instead of just looking at them. ZOOB's shape is inspired by nucleotides, the basic structure that makes up DNA. ZOOB captures the dynamic movement based on the way things move in nature instead of using traditional stacking connections.

Encourages Kids to Use Their Imagination

The best part about playing with ZOOB is exploring, discovering and using imagination to create any design that comes to mind. This gives ZOOB built-in educational value because children must use the most important tool of all for creation: their imaginations. The included instruction guides also teach children how to build different creations for those who prefer to go by the book.

More Pieces make bigger projects

All ZOOB kits are compatible with each other, so with each new set your overall collection grows. With enough pieces, you can create anything.

ZOOB

ZOOB is an award-winning building set with a difference—the pieces move after you put them together, so you can play with your creations, instead of just looking at them. Although we provide instructions and suggestions for models to build, the best part of playing with ZOOB is exploring, inventing, and discovering how you can build and deciding what you want to create. ZOOB is a member of the ALEX Brands family of products.

5 types of ZOOB pieces - Endless building opportunties
My son really likes this this unique building kit and so do I. We own the 100-piece inventor kit and now this set. The pieces are sizable and do not get lost as readily as tiny LEGO pieces. If you choose to not keep the box, this 81 piece kit and the instruction booklet easily fit into a 2-gallon Ziplock bag. Instructions are included to build 4 different vehicles however since each requires a significant amount of the pieces, you can only build one vehicle at a time (there will only be a few pieces left over after each one is created). The finished vehicle is sizable (see attached picture) and the track-wheels roll so you can push this on the ground like a regular wheeled toy. The instructions are easy to follow and are in color. Once your child gets the hang of how the pieces are joined together, he or she will definitely build their own vehicle creations (outside of the 4-types provided with the instructions) in no time at all. My kids really get into this toy, they figured out the assembly very easily, ZOOB pieces are interchangeable between kits. I personally like that the color of the pieces in the ZOOB Scorpion Driller kit are different shades (or simply different colors completely) from the Inventor Kit so when we are putting them away, even if we combined the 2 kits together, we can easily separate the pieces back into their original storage bag. My kids really enjoy building with the ZOOB pieces and we found out by accident that the pieces float (several pieces were kicked in the pool and they didn't sink to the bottom). Kids can create simple or very complex creations with the ZOOB pieces. They are durable (none of ours have broken yet), take up little storage space when not used, and are entertaining for younger and older kids. I'm rather amazed that this toy has been around for several years and I only recently discovered it.

My son loves to build. So what bet than Zoobs that you can build into a construction vehicle? (make that three!) My 7 year old son has 3 other Zoob sets and loves them all. I really like that the Zoobs are all interchangeable. This set includes: 73 ZOOB pieces, 2 monster tank treads, flip top cab, auger drill, 2 road cones, figure with a hard hat and instructions The Scorpion Driller is also big! It is so well worth the money, that I purchased a second for a gift for my nephew. Like our other Zoob toys, all of the pieces are durable. I love the creativity this brings out in my son....they even sell Zoob bricks that can combine Legos and Zoobs. The possibilities are endless.

My kids absolutely love Zoobs and these are no different. In fact, my 6 year old is loving the fact that they have moving parts.

This is the perfect hands-on construction set for boys. They can create and build various “futuristic” big rigs. This product is made of durable plastic that can be used again and again. The colors are bright and remind you of a true construction set. It includes one worker in the set. The instructions include both visual directions and written. They are easy to follow. There are many pieces to this set and need to be stored together to enjoy using it again and again. This would also make a great set in a children’s STEM science classroom.

Like with Legos, you can purchase additional sets and mix –and-match to create even more fun things.

Con: The hat won't stay on the construction worker.

Pros: Brightly colored pieces are easy to see and find when they are misplaced.
Set encourages creativity.
The instructions are easy to follow.

How to keep a seven year old quiet and entertained for hours? Give him or her this set and sit back and enjoy the peace and quiet.
My grandson loved this set, he built all of the different variations, except the Scorpion Driller, as he thought that one was too hard
to make, but he enjoys building the other options from this set.

The only problem we ran into was the hardhat will not stay on the included worker, so minus one star for that design flaw.

Suits my nine year old stepson fine, actually not as kiddy-ish as it looks at first glance! A couple of hours of peace and quiet while he put the thing together and played with it. A good choice for a stocking stuffer although a slightly pricey one.

This toy is aimed at kids aged 6+ but even the brightest child that age will need a fair bit of parental input. The instructions aren't clear/comprehensive, making it potentially a frustrating experience. My 6 year old got fed up with it in the end. Give it a couple of years and he should be able to manage it. It's well made and fun for the right age though.

Do not be deceived, the hard hatted construction site figure with the kit may look Duplo like but the construction requirements really are for the 6years and over budding construction enthusiast. It could be for a boy or girl but the imagery is rather boyish. There are 81 pieces in the kit and is a brilliant alternative to those K-nex fans who maybe want to build something a little more substantial.
There are 6 different designs and they are quite tough once made and can be played with. The kit can be used to create a Scorpion Driller, Tunnel Driller, Vertical Driller, a Mine Cart or can be used so that the child can create their own machine. The objects can be made so that they move and rotate by the use of clever ‘Zoob’ joints and spinning axles.

The ZOOB Z-Strux Scorpion Driller is an 81-piece building kit that allows kids to make four futuristic big rigs. Kids can build a scorpion driller, tunnel driller, vertical driller, or a mine cart. Or design your own cool digger. The ZOOB pieces are unique building pieces that rotate and fit into joints making the structures totally movable. This bright yellow set includes two monster tank treads, flip-top cab, auger drill, two road cones, and a figure with a hard hat.

This is a great hands-on building kit that encourages creativity and problem solving. The unique ZOOB pieces are just fun to build with. Once kids build their digger creation, this is a functional push toy for open-ended roleplay.

The ZOOB Z-Strux Scorpion Driller is for ages 6 and up. Additional ZOOB building kits are available and sold separately.

2.0 out of 5 stars FRUSTRATING but well built pieces - lots of pieces!

Oh dear! I still haven't managed to build the first 'machine'.....

I am NOT technically minded but then neither am I a six-year-old for whom this game is allegedly designed (well at least 6+). I also asked 'she-who-must-be-obeyed' to try it as perhaps I was being particularly inept but no, after hours of trying we still can't do it - and after many days too. This is a bit like doing a 3D jigsaw without the picture on the lid! The 'instructions' are all pictures and the pieces are all different colours to those you actually have - so, for example, there are 'green' pieces in the pictures but you don't have any green pieces to use...

The pieces are robustly made and when you join them together they do appear to be quite strong but its just getting them all to fit together in a way that even resembles the finished piece. I am DETERMINED TO do it BUT as the review is required after just 30 days of trying I am publishing today.

If, indeed this is aimed at children 6+ I will have my great nephew try it when he is next here and will update if he, or I ever manage to get something built. I think the kit should be renamed FRUSTRATION.
