“My 8 year grandson was thrilled with this gift. He had some adult help but was so excited with how many different items could be built from the set. Great educational gift!”
“We are using this as our curriculum for a science class. He reads the book, we discuss it, and then he builds. His favorite part are the builds. What I like most is that they have activities that go with the builds -- if you take this part off what happens -- my son is loving this classWe write our answers to the activities in a notebook so that we can keep the kit for our younger son”
“I bought this for my 5 years old who's a big fan of lego and machines in general. He can actually build these himself and has a lot of fun doing it.The manual comes with interesting theory and experiment for kids to do to learn some of the principles. This part however is likely more targeted at older kids (although my 5 years old with some adult guidance does the experiments).The main reasons for removing a star:- Although this set let you build all items for the 5 individual sets, you only have enough parts to build one of them at a time (I was hoping at least 2).- Many of the models instruction are not included so one has to go online to get them (which was a disappointment to my son when the first thing he wanted to build didn't have instruction in the box)Jury is still out on if he will end up building his own model (or at least making modifications to existing ones) using the parts.”
“I was skeptical of this product because of the high price. How much better than legos could it really be? But it is a great product and worth the price. They include multiple detailed instruction manuals for each build. The kids love this, and we have poured over the included manuals and have learned a lot. I highly recommend.”
