A catchy toy that captures the kids interest before even opening the box. My kids love the really great sound effects. And I find the colors are really vibrant. The game works with 4 double-sided cards that encourage building and learning. The cards seem pretty sturdy. We had a 2 year over and he couldn’t stop playing with it. He didn’t even need to change the card.

If your child loves puzzles (as mine does), then I think this will be a big hit. I think it’s a really creative way to introduce colors and shapes. If you have a Team Umizoomi fan, this would be a solid, engaging holiday pick with educational value and I think educational value is very important. 
The eight scenes are mostly gender neutral and very engaging — I think they did a really great job in selecting them:
-Truck
-Train
-Carnival
-Flowers
-Farm
-Submarine
-Rocket
