Complete Set Gets Kids Building
This Deluxe Workshop comes with all the tools and building materials your child needs to complete their own construction project. The sturdy plastic tools are easy to handle, allowing kids to saw, cut, and nail without sharp edges or dangerous parts, making it safe for children to work on construction projects unsupervised.
The included plastic screws and nails are designed to securely fasten the foam pieces together to create sturdy objects. The 19 foam pieces--including dowels, posts, and planks--come in a variety of shapes and sizes, creating countless possibilities for construction projects. The set also comes with a hole cutter and borer to create wheels and window effects.
Toy Fosters Creativity
A great way to strengthen problem-solving skills and nurture creativity, this Deluxe Workshop lets your child come up with their own designs and figure out ways to build them. This set includes enough nails, screws, foam, and other building material for at least two projects (depending on the complexity) before needing to order a refill (sold separately).
For those in need of inspiration, the Real Construction Guide Book comes with basic drawings for six projects. These projects do not include measurements or step-by-step instructions, so children will likely benefit from adult guidance at the beginning. For those looking for detailed instructions, a number of how-to guides can be found on the Real Construction Toys Web site.

Great Toy....unless you actually want instruction to go with it.
By MommaP
This is a great toy. My son got it for his eighth birthday and he has enjoyed it so far. However, it doesn't really come with an instruction manual. Instead there is a book that shows pictures of what the pieces look like. You have to guess the sizes of the pieces and how to cut them. If you just want to 'cut the wood' it's great, but if you actually want to make something, good luck.

A good toy set to help foster and grow a child's creative and cognitive development
By Hugo D. Hackenbush
"Real Construction Deluxe Tool Set" is a charming junior carpentry set that includes everything you would expect to find with this kind of toy, including a saw, hammer, screw driver, hole borer, small detail saw, nails, screws, and assorted planks of "Kid Wood" (basically a type of plastic Styrofoam). The kid-friendly plastic tools are able to cut and manipulate the "kid wood" just as real tools would with real wood.
With a little effort, your child will be able to build his own toys, furniture, accessories, etc. I gave this to my 6 year old nephew a week ago, and he loves it, having already built a truck, a plane, a box, among other things. When the wood runs out (and it will), you can always order more bundled refill packs (sold right here on Amazon.com).
While its true that a more descriptive manual would have been nice, the included "project manual" has enough ideas to get kids started. In fact, after an initial glance at the book, my nephew has barely used the manual, except for some occasional quick inspiration as to what to build next.
Also, keep in mind that this toy is definitely not geared towards the average child under six, and not just due to the small pieces (or lack of detailed instructions); while a five-year-old may seem close in age to a six-year-old chronologically, on average there is a fairly big cognitive difference between the two age sets. In other words, when compared with a six-year-old, the average five-year-old will have a far more difficult time conceptualizing, organizing and building the more complex structures that this toy set is capable of.
In all, this is a great toy set, one that encourages and challenges a child's creative thinking and other cognitive skills in a way that is sadly lacking in today's Disney-fied era of prefabricated toy merchandising. Only the lack of a more detailed set of instructions holds this toy back from a five-star review... but if my six-year-old nephew can overcome that obstacle, then chances are so can yours. Highly recommended.

I'm a little frustrated!
By AZmom
This was a gift for my 5 year old son. It looked really cool and it came with a lot of "realistic" tools (all plastic and kid friendly, but can still cut the "kid wood," which is like some sort of light-weight sturdy foam). As the other viewer mentioned there is no instruction booklet. Therefore, nothing to tell you how to measure the wood to cut, nothing to tell you which wood piece to start with before cutting, and no screw size. There are pictures to tell you how to assemble it and you can guess at the right wood piece, but as far as measurements you're on your own. My son has gotten this out twice and each time very excited to build a tank. However, within about 5 minutes, he has lost intrest (and frustrated), and so have I at this point. The measuring is the problem. It takes me a couple of minutes to figure out which piece needs to be measured and cut, and then a few more minutes to properly measure the wood before cutting. At this point, I'm thinking about letting him just cut the wood however he likes, it might be more fun for both of us. The recommended age is for a 6 to 15 year old. I'm an adult in my 30's, with a sufficient college education, and this is difficult for me.
