The end result build of these Labo toys held up stronger than I originally anticipated. The stickers applied would have been better manufactured to remain on the parts, but some tend to peel halfway on their own.

This was purchased for a young child with a budding scientific mind. It was the perfect gift. The instructions are easy to read and follow. This has given us a whole direction right into the world of science.

Got my 11 year old the toy-con set 1. She loved it all. The piano and house was her favorite to build and play with. I recommended for little ones and adults to help build. Fun for little ones and there parents

At around $25 new this is a good jump into building and following directions for kids. The kits work well and the software is intuitive and well thought out. Good to try out but sustained use will not only wear out the cardboard but doesn’t hold much replay value.

I had a ton of fun building and playing with the creations with my son (6 yrs old). This is perfect to display the technology contained within the joycon controllers. 4 stars due to the lack of depth in the mini games, they could have easily added more content to add some replay-ability.

It's amazing what Nintendo is able to build (have you build) with mostly just cardboard. Lots of projects that offer hours of entertainment.

Nintendo's Labo is a great experiment for the kids to build their interest in the STEM field and has an abundant amount of logic building similar to coding. A great starter for kids for those who are into science

The kit didn't keep my teenagers attention for long, but still a quality set of activities designed to turbo charge the creative minds of youngsters. My pre-teen daughter loved the different builds and activities, particularly the fishing rod.

If your child is a builder, and if they enjoy learning how things work - the kind of kid who likes to take things apart and put them back together - then this Switch expansion is just right for them!

I picked up both this and the Robot Kit to build/play with my son, and we both LOVE IT! Half the fun is just putting it together! Can't wait to see what else Nintendo has up it's sleeve for this line!

I bought it as a gift for my nephew, he loves it, great amount of time spent building it which was for him the best part. The games themselves are left to the imagination, but the building process is very very fun

This kit is super fun to build and color. Making little creations like this makes the individual pieces more meaningful and special. Defiantly a fun craft project to build with the kids!

This is actually pretty fun. It's more than just cardboard. The kids get to build it and then play with it. Some of the folds are a bit hard to do for young kids.

It's not easy to build stuff, but very rewarding. It's definitely for parents to work with their kids. But it's awesome. The piano works so awesome, it's amazing. Nintendo does it again!

It's cardboard. I don't get it. The kids love it. The mini games are simplistic. But it's a gimmick through and through. If you want mini games, wait for Mario Party. I only rate it highly because of how much the kids enjoy it. But I don't quite see the appeal.

I'd say wait for a discount. But, if you can find one of these for half the price, it's a fun time waster to build one of these. I built the piano and it was fun, despite some issues with getting the piano to work properly.

I bought this to use with my 4 year old daughter. It’s fun to built and work together. The games are simple and become repetitive quickly. My daughter enjoys the games. She loves the house. Not sure how long the fun will last once we finish building all of them.

This Nintendo Labo kit might seem pricey at $70 "just for cardboard." However, the designs of the kits are quite complex, and feels quite sturdy when put together. The cardboard kits were designed well for ease of putting together, but do note that it does take quite a bit of time to assemble one of the kits - they vary in complexity and can take from 1 to 3 hours per kit.
The software also gives you games to use it with, but the software also teaches you how the different sensors work in the games, as well as a general understanding of how the sensors work - so it's educational if you're interested in that kind of stuff as well. I thought it was all very interesting :)
