I love toys that encourage creativity and hands on play. The Educational Insights Design & Drill Brightworks checks both of those boxes and then some. This adorable hands on toy provides a great way to bring creativity and light to play time.
CHECK PRICEIt was easy to unbox the Design & Drill playset. The box was shrink wrapped and once that was removed it was easy to open. Inside the box there was one Brightworks board, a bag of translucent and brightly colored “bolts” and one hand drill. Also inside were instructions for play and 12 patterns to get you started. I had to install 3 AA batteries in order to play.
The play experience with the Educational Insights Design & Drill Brightworks is actually a lot of fun. You can use the realistic Drill to secure the bolts in place and then watch your pattern come to life when you turn on the lights! You can either follow one of the 12 patterns included or “freestyle” your design. Either way it is a lot of fun and I can see a lot of play time possibilities with this toy.
I love the creativity this toy allows. The drill is also very cute and creates a unique way to play along.
I wish that there had been at least two of the drills included so more than one child can play at a time. However, the price point on this set is reasonable so it wouldn’t be unrealistic to purchase two.
Players over 3 are recommended for the Educational Insights Design & Drill Brightworks set. The bolts could be a potential choking hazard for younger kids and I am not sure anyone younger than 3 would even have the motor skills to play with this toy appropriately.
I loved my play time with the Design & Drill Brightworks set. I had a lot of fun and wouldn’t hesitate to purchase this for my son as he gets a little older. I love toys that encourage creativity and get kids away from the screen so this toy is a big hit in my book.

There are many tablets on the market right now marketed for kids. It can be difficult to know which ones have features that appeal to both parent and child. I had the opportunity to play with the LeapFrog Epic and here is my review.

If there are two things my kid loves its trucks, anything with wheels really gets his attention. And if that toy happens to also light up and make noise? Ladies and Gentleman, we have a winner! I was excited to test out the John Deere Monster Treads Flippers Boar Combine Vehicle because this combines most […]

My son loves to watch The Lion Guard on Disney Channel. This band of animal friends work together in each episode to protect the Pridelands, all while teaching kids about teamwork and the importance of working together. I was excited to receive my Just Play Lion Guard Training Lair Playset and was surprised by how […]
