STORYTIME TOYS The Three Little Pigs 3D Puzzle - Book and Toy Set - 3 in 1 - Book, Build, and Play

Whoever thought of making a 3D puzzle of this story was a genius. My “Three Little Pigs” obsessed son LOVES this set. He was about 3.5 years old when I got it for him and he’s 4.5 y/o now, and he still plays with it pretty often. He loves to act out the story and have the little wolf figure “blow” the houses down. I like that it’s a bit old fashioned and simple, and it has a lot of cute little details. The “brick” house is built so you can actually put the pot inside the fireplace and have the wolf slide down the chimney, which I’ve always thought was very clever.It makes me a little sad that someone called this set a cheap piece of “garbage”. Small children will obviously likely need some assistance putting it together. It is a 3D puzzle (not a regular “toy” toy), and is as durable as it can be as such. As often as my son has played with it over the last year, he has yet to break a single piece. So in summary, I definitely recommend this puzzle set!!

These sets are great. We have several of them and they provide endless hours of creativity. Easy to build and lots of fun.

My girls have been obsessed with the three little pigs story for a long time. It's one of their favorite go to books.When I came across this product on amazon, I knew it would be perfect for my younger daughter's third birthday.Out of all the gifts she got ( and she got a ton ) this was far and away her favorite. My older daughter (4) was equally excited about it and together they played with this set for HOURS. I thought it was just the novelty of it, and that it would quickly wear off, but weeks later they still ask to play with it daily. My younger one carries the box around the house begging to help set it up and act out the story. They were elated that the brick house actually had a fireplace/chimney for the wolf to try and climb down. It's their favorite part!The set is made extremely well. I was really surprised and impressed by the quality. I love that it isn't made of plastic!! The pieces all fit together really nicely. It is very sturdy and doesn't fall down unless you deliberately take it apart. The attention to detail is superb.My four year old has no problem putting it together. We have put it together and taken it apart ( blew the houses down) at least 100 times and everything is still in perfect condition. I love the sturdy Velcro close box it came with. Perfect for storing all the pieces in and taking it back and forth to Grandma's house.On Mother's day my niece and nephew wanted to play with this set as well. At ages two and five they were both interested in it and loved playing with the set. All four kids - ages 2-5 took turns being the wolf and telling the story, while the others would each be a pig. Building the house and having the wolf "Huff and Puff" and blow down the house. Then all scramble to the next pigs house.They would erupt in laughter as the wolf tried to climb down the chimney, only to burn his tale on the pot in the fire, YELP, scrambling back down the roof and into the woods.Then disaster struck. Our new puppy climbed up on a chair and ate two of the little pigs. My daughter was devastated and cried hysterically. The irony that our puppy is a husky (wolf) and ate two of the little pigs is not lost on us.In desperation to fix it ( and really not wanting to buy another entire set) I contacted Storytime Toys asking if they sold replacement parts and explaining what happened. To my delight they quickly responded and offered to send replacement pigs for FREE. Just for the wonderful customer service I would have given them 5 stars, but the product truly deserves the rating.We will be purchasing the other sets (goldilocks and the three bears, and Hansel and Gretel) for future birthday/Christmas gifts.

Great addition for play and addition to story telling. My 4 yr old granddaughter loves playing with this and creating her own story. I think this is best with adult supervision with young children so that the pieces are treated gently. The pieces are quite sturdy but the could be bent and destroyed if some care was not exercised. I think it is a fun way to sit and interact with a child while telling 3 Little Pigs story or making up stories.

This review is really 4.5 stars.My 3.5 yr old has been obsessed with the three little pigs for a month now. It has been very hard to find toys related to the story. I was a little skeptical about this toy because I could tell from the pictures the toys were some sort of paper/cardboard material and wondered how sturdy they would be.I was very surprised when the toy arrived at how well made and sturdy it actually is. The pieces are a thick foam material that is very sturdy and has held up well to my son repeatedly building and blowing down the houses while re-enacting the story.The carrying case is also well built and very handy. Occasionally the handle pulls through and comes off the case (the only reason I gave 4.5 instead of 5). Ot is easily fixed with a little tape or glue on the inside.I'm also impressed the pigs and wolf are thick enough to stand on their own.I love the artistry of the pieces and the little touches like a squirrel on the roof of the stick house and a cardinal on the outside of the straw house.Great toy. Both my boys (the 3.5 yr old I bought it for and our 6 yr old) have already picked out other toy sets they want!

My 3 year old granddaughter loves books and she is very creative. She loved retelling The Three Little Pigs, building and blowing the houses down. Each time she added more detail and animation to the story.

I love this! It is clear the maker of this toy put a lot of thought into it. The type of material for the puzzle is sturdy enough for rough toddler play. And the detail on the little houses is adorable. The big bad wolf can even actually go down the chimney! The houses themselves also mimic the strength of the houses in the story (the straw house is the weakest, brick is the strongest) so when my toddler pretends to blow down the straw house, it is demonstrably easier than the brick. We love it!

Cute book, but the pieces are much smaller than I expected.
