From an educational perspective, I cannot say this toy provides any direct instructional benefit. However, when it is used in a guided or purposeful play setting Hape's Basic Builder Kit does provide children with endless practice and strengthens their understanding math concepts (mainly those related geometric benchmarks). Additionally, this kit could be used to introduce early science concepts such as simple machines.
