A New GollyGee Blocks Fan

Today I had the chance to show my nephew, age 5, GollyGee Blocks for the first time. He enjoyed building with it and made some neat pictures which I'll try to post at some point. Although only in kindergarten he quickly got into stacking the blocks to make complex structures. He liked building from the overhead view the best and then would look at the front 3D view.

One thing I noticed is that the butttons could be a little bigger. I also saw that he would sometimes color the same block lots of times, but then if he wanted to undo it he had to click undo lots of times. It really should only be once, I think. I also saw him have some difficulty with the save and load dialogs, which have never been very good.
