Product review (5 stars): This is perfect for a 6 year old
"Damn commercials!" is what I thought when my six year old son included Qixels in his letter to Santa, but now that we purchased it for him, I am really liking it. This set comes with everything you need to create the art for the templates that are included. We bought Beados last year because again, that's what he saw on the commercials, and it was a major disaster because it's really small and round. These Qixels are bigger and they fit on "pins" so even if you accidentally bump the tray, the blocks won't go tumbling off everywhere. This is perfect for a 6 year old. He got creative after the second figure so he started making his own creations (a guy smiling but with one gold [yellow] tooth, etc), which meant we had to go out and get refills, but all is well, and I really like that he's doing something other than just playing on his iPad or playing video games.
