Another amazing product from Education Insights. We used this product with a 6,5, and 2 year old. The item is made of high quality plastic. The drill seems very durable and holds up well. We have used this product many times and it his with stood use. We love the glowing feature on this specific design and drill. What we really enjoyed about this product was the many uses and the multiple ages that you can use it with. Many would think this would be specific to boys aged 4-6. However, we have been able to find so many uses with this products. With my 2 year old we use the screws to identify and sort colors. With my pre-k 5 year old son we used this item to create patterns and master his fine motor skills. With my school age 6 year old we use this as you would a lite bright and create actual pictures with the screws. It can be very difficult to find toys to keep children engaged but this will do the job. Our children played with this for a solid hour on many occasions. One fun thing we like to do is add this to a light table. It really adds to the glow effect. We love that our children are learning while playing at the same time. Educational Insights created another cost effective product that keeps children engaged and learning.
There are close to 80 screws that the child can pick to screw into the box, which has rows (8 by 8). It's not like the old school light brite with paper patterns. Instead, it has an instruction book that shows you patterns. It's a bit too hard for my three year old, but would be good for a slightly older child.
My 3 year old can do the screw and socket himself, switch out the drill bit and socket, and manipulate the screws. He loves to pick the colors (orange, pink, black, blue, yellow and green).
We keep everything in the original box. I'd love if it came in a tool box, but no such luck. Overall, this toy is awesome and I will give it as a gift to friends.

Reviewed in Mexico on June 14, 2021
The toy itself seems quite robust and was able to withstand the usual abuse to be expected of a young child. Additionally, while not for <3yo children, the screws are still quite large so should not present a choking hazard to smaller children playing in the vicinity (supervised!!)
