Tinkertoy building sets?

I was able to get a 50.00 tinker toy building set pretty cheap(8.00
). I was going to give it as a birthday present to someone but wondering if I should keep it away for when my daughter is older. I know I wont be able to find it on sale like that again.

Do kids get alot of play out of them? My daughters only 1 so it would be a while before she uses it if I do keep it...

Thanks!

I remember playing with tinker toys when I was, oh, 5 - 12. Little ones can play with them - put the pieces together, stack them, etc. And bigger kids can actually build all kinds of structures. My finest was probably a ferris wheel.

I say Keep Them! They are a classic toy with LOADS of play value.

P.S. DON'T leave them outside. When I was 5, I left my tinker toys outside. It rained. They swelled and didn't fit together. Darn.
