does it come with templates to show you how to build different things? What does it show you how to build? Wanting to get it for my son.

Yes all the templates fit into a case and you build on top of the picture. After you spray with water and it dries, you take the finished product off and start again.

it comes with templates to make little animal shapes, and some are just designs. a clear plastic holder, and patterns to put under it as a guide. it is a great activity for kids, because they can do the whole thing themselves, not ironing. just spritz with water and let it dry! you will need more beads eventually.

Yes, the kit comes with a few different guides for making things as shown on the outer box. The guides are simply cards that fit under the clear tray so you can see where to place the beads. There are usually 3 different things to make per card, but the cards don't always line up with the tray placement so it's not exact. We usually just use the cards as reference and count how many beads are needed.

My daughter, age 9, says, yes, there are templates with pictures to follow to make some animals and creatures. Not sure how many. Easy to follow. We're on 2nd or 3rd refill pack in December. Given for summer 2013 birthday. Very much enjoys. Dries quickly.

Yes. Lots of instructions to follow but my 10 year old loves the building aspect of this so loves to do it independently ( & he is not even a strong reader).

Yes, you can go to their web site and download a template. The package also comes with three set up sheets.

My grandson prefers magformers. He had 2 sets a few years ago and wanted another for his 10th birthday so I got him the 62 piece designer set for building construction. It was an excellent price on Amazon. I was surprised that he was still interested in them, but he is - loves to build and create his own designs with them. The magformers and magnatiles are not interchangeable, so I think it is best to stick with one and just add to it.

No it doesn't. I was very disappointed by that. It does have a booklet with ideas, but my kids are too young to use the booklet. The diagrams shown in the video would have been perfect for my kids' age (3 and 5 years old).

My almost 8 year old son just built this by himself. It was his first level 2 model ever. I just explained the numbering system to him and he did the rest.

It came with a template + the screws and hooks needed to mount to a wood counter. However, our counter was granite so our granite guy did something to mount it. Not sure what. He didn't use the hardware.

There are no instructions. There isn't a set design to build. Let your child's imagination run wild and he/she will amaze you with what he/she can create.

Yes! We got it for my son for Christmas and he is 3. I'm not kidding he builds something and plays with this everyday!!

Some Lego kits are primarily for putting together and not doing a lot of hard playing with. My son has not messed around a lot with this Lego Castle since building it, but he had a great time building it, and it decorates a portion of his room even now. We have bought a few Lego kits that we primarily wanted for looking at like the Fire Truck and the Space Shuttle. They are neat Lego kits, but especially some parts of the Shuttle could get messed up really easily if played with. My son also has a box with hundreds of Lego bricks that he does use for playing, building, breaking down and rebuilding again.

Base Plates are two square or rectangular plates that you can build up from. It has the nubs that the Lego bricks attach to. Hope this helps!

I have a couple of the basic sets as well as the construction set. The more sets they have the more they can make. I recommend starting with the basic set and see how they like it and build from there. My grandchildren 3-13 all love it!

Depends on the kid probably- if he's the sort that likes to help you fix or build things, he probably would love it. There are instructions- though ours are long gone by now. 3 or 4 projects that I can remember but possibly more.

Yes, my 10 year old grandson also LOVED it. He loves assembling kits, so this was an excellent choice. If your child finds it somewhat difficult, it will improve his skills in trying to figure it out.

This set comes with lots of wood pieces and things to make. It does not come with a complete set of tools. I bought a set of tools in a child's size. These were real tools, but on a smaller scale for kids about 6 to 10 years old. If the child really wants to use tools, then a tool set is a better choice than this set. If the child will be using the set without much adult help, then this set would be easier for the child to use. Hope this helps.

Its a great question, we have several large legos (over 500 pcs) and needed to get a "Lego table" to build and display them. You don't have to have one but I think a Lego base is a great suggestion.

Some of these tables come with extra plates for the smaller Legos. I bought this for an auction and I can't remember if it came with extra plates or not.
