Review: The things he creates are pretty amazing. The sets do work well together - I got this for my 5 year old son for Christmas, along with a couple of other sets of the Learning Resources Engineering sets. The kid loves to build things and he is extremely creative. He doesn't really build the items on the sets, but that's okay. The things he creates are pretty amazing. The sets do work well together, as well as separately, which is pretty cool. The colors are bright and fun and are easy for young hands to manipulate. While the 5 year old is at school, my 2 1/2 year old also tries to build with the sets. He can't do much else than stick the legs into the bases, but he has fun with it. I also like to build with this set. I don't know why, but it's fun. So, it's fun all around!! Buy just one set, or several, but it's good STEM for young kiddos. Review: Great for learning/building/thought provoking - We just received the Learning Resources Engineer Set in the mail a few days ago and have had a blast playing with all the interchangeable pieces. We thought at first that we would be able to create a full playground (my daughter wanted her little Shopkins to play on it), but in actuality we were only able to create small individual parts of the playground. I would definitely recommend this for kids over 5 as it does require using problem solving, logic & basic engineering practices. The cardboard box is great for storage, and the cards have challenges and some thought provoking questions on them to help kids get creative. Definitely a great purchase - hours of entertainment! ## Features - DEVELOPS ENGINEERING SKILLS - 104-piece STEM building set teaches problem-solving, logic, and basic engineering practices through hands-on playground construction for ages 5+ - ENHANCES FINE MOTOR SKILLS - Colorful interlocking pieces are perfectly sized for small hands, helping children develop dexterity and hand-eye coordination through building - PERFECT FOR SCREEN-FREE TIME - Ideal when kids need engaging, educational entertainment that pulls them away from electronics and into hands-on creative play - ENCOURAGES CREATIVE PLAY - Children can follow blueprints or design their own playground structures, fostering imagination and independent problem-solving abilities - APPEALS TO YOUNG BUILDERS - Perfect for kids interested in construction, engineering, and hands-on STEM activities who love taking things apart and rebuilding them ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01NBP2824 | | Age Range Description | 60 months to 144 months | | Best Sellers Rank | #74,462 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #1,478 in Early Development & Activity Toys #2,433 in Toy Building Sets | | Brand Name | Learning Resources | | Color | Multicolor | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (722) | | Educational Objective | STEM | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00765023028423 | | Included Components | Added art component incorporates STEAM lessons, Challenge Cards, activity guide with reproducible worksheets | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Item Dimensions | 13.9 x 10.1 x 3.1 inches | | Item Type Name | Learning Resources Playground Engineering & Design STEM Set, 104 Pieces | | Item Weight | 16 ounces | | Manufacturer | Learning Resources | | Manufacturer Maximum Age (MONTHS) | 144.0 | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 60 | | Manufacturer Part Number | LER2842 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | No Warranty | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Number | LER2842 | | Number of Players | 2 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Power Source | Manual | | Set Name | Playground Engineering & Design STEM Set - 104 Pieces | | Size | 104-piece | | Subject Character | playground set | | Supported Battery Types | No batteries required | | Theme | STEM Set | | UPC | 765023028423 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Images ![Playground Engineering & Design STEM Set - Kids Games, Building and Construction Gears, Montessori Activities , Critical Thinking Skills, Problem Solving for Boys and Girls - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71gvEEeg6aL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: I found that the package is missing one of the two orange round poles used in all challenge cards.

Definitely a great purchase - hours of entertainment! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Let your little engineer learn and play while tinkering! *by J***3 on June 14, 2020* Children can learn a lot about problem solving and cause and effect by tinkering with STEM kits. I love this one and so does my five year old. She loves Legos but I wanted to add a little something new to her selections. Some of these pieces don’t mesh as easily as I would like. She has needed help with attaching some of the pieces. Other pieces don’t hold well and will frustrate her when building her playground. In a perfect world, the pieces would just work well together, but I also like that she has to figure out alternatives along the way. These kits are a little pricey especially considering the feel of the plastic. It doesn’t seem super durable long term or in rough hands. Again, this isn’t problematic for me because I like that it teaches patience and being careful with materials. I recommend for all little engineers! ## Frequently Bought Together - Learning Resources Playground Engineering & Design STEM Set - 104 Pieces, Ages 5+ STEM Toys for Kids, Construction Toys - Learning Resources STEM Explorers Domino Action - Learning Resources STEM Explorers Brainometry - 34 Pieces, Ages 5+ STEM Toys for Kids, Brain Teaser Toys and Games, Kindergarten Games,Back to School --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/40362619-playground-engineering-and-design-stem-set-kids-games-building-construction](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/40362619-playground-engineering-and-design-stem-set-kids-games-building-construction) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
