Emphasis intended) - Got this for our 5yo autistic spectrum ADHD son who loves Legos and anything involving manipulation of parts of a whole or whatever. He enjoys figuring this out. It requires more than just sticking Legos together. It involves twisting and trial/error, critical mechanical thinking. I also like that it's wood, not plastic. I also appreciate that this is a "genuine" M&D brand product, you can be relatively reassured for material safety and quality. I've had no issues. I do with the wood was more "finished" or glazed to aid in cleaning but other than that it's fine and seems like it'll hold up for his younger sisters. It's also fun to watch two or more of them fiddle with all the bits, snatching the finished pieces from brother, tantrums over nonsense. But yes, if your kid loves putting stuff together or likes identifiable categories of numerical stuff then s/he will probably find some use out of this at least. Review: Kids love it. very good quality. - This is the small version of an activity my grandson greatly enjoyed at the Children's Museum. He loved building with the boards and nuts and bolts. I was delighted to see this home version and bought it immediately. My grandson went right to work once he saw the kit, and I know it will provide hours of play time. Quality is good, number of pieces adequate for building things. Very affordable. I recommend as a gift for young boy or girl. ## Features - 48-piece wooden building set - Includes 12 bolts, 8 nuts, 16 building boards, 6 blocks, screwdriver, and storage box; illustrated building guides show how to create a crane, motorcycle, airplane, and race car - Storage box is predrilled so it can become part of a structure too; - Promotes counting, sorting, and fine motor skills; encourages problem solving and constructive play - Makes a great gift for preschoolers, ages 4 to 6, for hands-on, screen-free play ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00D3IMEUA | | Age Range Description | 4+ years | | Best Sellers Rank | #119,581 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #3,728 in Toy Building Sets | | Brand Name | Melissa & Doug | | Color | Multicolor | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,788 Reviews | | Educational Objective | STEM | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00000772051514 | | Included Components | Melissa & Doug Wooden Construction Building Set in a Box (Developmental Toy, 48 Pieces, Great Gift for Girls and Boys - Best for 4, 5 and 6 Year Olds) | | Item Dimensions | 12 x 10 x 2 inches | | Item Type Name | Melissa & Doug Wooden Construction Building Set in a Box (Developmental Toy, 48 Pieces, Great Gift for Girls and Boys - Best for 4, 5 a | | Item Weight | 816 g | | Manufacturer | Melissa & Doug | | Manufacturer Part Number | 5151 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | No Warranty | | Manufacturer recommended age | 4 - 6 years | | Material Type | Wood | | Model Name | Melissa & Doug Wooden Construction Building Set in a Box (Developmental Toy, 48 Piece | | Model Number | 5151 | | Model Year | 2017 | | Number of Pieces | 48 | | Operation Mode | manual | | Set Name | Melissa & Doug Wooden Construction Building Set in a Box | | Size | 11.75 x 9.85 x 1.55 inches | | Sub Brand | Doug | | Subject Character | Wooden Construction Building Set in a Box | | Target Audience | children | | Theme | Transportation | | Toy Building Block Type | Stacking Toy Building Block | | UPC | 000772051514 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Images ![Wooden Construction Building Set in a Box (48 pcs) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717Y0mRCkcL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this building set compatible with the wood tool work bench? Would screws etc fit in the holes already drilled in work table/bench?** A: Hi! Since our various construction sets were designed by different people, at different times, and made in different places, they are not compatible. We are working to have them coordinate and hope they will in the future. I hope you enjoy hours of constructive fun with Melissa & Doug! **Q: Is this set compatible with the set that comes with the work bench?** A: I have this set and the small tool box and all of the parts are interchangeable. Not sure if that helps answer about the work bench. **Q: Do the cubes actually have threads so the kiddo actually has to screw them in rather than just a hole they can push them through?** A: Yes they are threaded so you have to screw them together... great addition to the tool box set **Q: How small are the smallest pieces? I am wondering if it would be okay for an 18 month old.** A: The pieces are prettying big, but suggested age on the product itself is 4+. The connector pieces (the plain wood pieces with the three or four holes in each) would probably be the most possible choking hazards - they look like thick tongue depressors with holes in them - probably pretty easy to choke on them if put in the mouth. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for "builder" minded kids (obviously.

This had just enough pieces to make it a hassle to clean up and keep together, but not so many pieces that the girls were likely to lose them. The children actually love this set and being a M&D toy, it is one of my favorites - especially since it comes with a storage container. They aren't quite old enough for foot piercing legos so this set was perfect for them. It isn't a noisy or loud toy, but I will save that for another birthday..... ## Frequently Bought Together - Melissa & Doug Wooden Construction Building Set in a Box (48 pcs) - Melissa & Doug Take-Along Tool Kit Wooden Construction Toy (24 pcs), Multicolor, 10.0 x 5.55 x 4.75 - Melissa & Doug Wooden Building Blocks Set - 100 Blocks in 4 Colors and 9 Shapes Classic Kids Toys, Colored Wood For Toddlers Ages 2+ - FSC-Certified --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/7090002-wooden-construction-building-set-in-a-box-48-pcs](https://www.desertcart.be/products/7090002-wooden-construction-building-set-in-a-box-48-pcs) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-09-21*
