  • Great Educational Toy
Style: Kit
My 5yr old reallllly loves this thing. He’s obsessed with robots and building things, so this was right up his alley. He can sit and spend a good bit of time messing with this, and I love knowing it’s a more educational toy. Also, the little yellow circuit with the light broke pretty recently after we got it, but the company kindly said they would send us a replacement part. Highly recommended this awesome toy and great company! ... show more

So much fun! We will be repeat buyers for other kids. This definitely engaged and offered great enrichment for my kiddos in a very safe but practical way.

  • needs adult supervision for 2/3 yr olds
Style: Kit
As the grandma I set it up first so that I could answer questions. kids loved setting it up and following directions for themselves once they had run a couple of circuits. this was interesting for my granddaughters as there is such a dearth of good stem toys for girls. I bought 2 more for all the sets of grandchildren. ... show more

  • Would be 5 if the battery pack wasn’t broken in the box Would be 5 if the battery pack wasn’t broken in the box
Style: Kit
Summary- my 5 year old can do it with help and LOVES it. Pro- easy directions and appealing for kids. Great beginning science thing. Con- the battery pack is stupidly fragile. Mine was broken gave it as a Christmas present so that wasn’t worth the returning it’s just disappointing for an otherwise great gift ... show more

  • 10/10 get this! I would go straight to the big pack
Style: Kit
10/10 — the best item we have ever purchased for our 4-year-old. I would recommend getting the larger pack right from the start and introducing only half of the pieces at first. He mastered all of the builds in one evening and quickly began creating his own. We will definitely be purchasing the next pack. ... show more

  • 6 year old grandson LOVED it!
Style: Kit
Christmas gift for our 6 year old grandson. He was thrilled when he opened the box and immediately began working with it. Easy directions with pictures, and he’s good with that. Soon he had lights lighting, propellers spinning…so much fun! The little projects progressed in difficulty and added on with complexity. Not sure the batteries can support the drain for the add-ons, but time will tell with that concern, plus he had to set it aside to open other presents. 😊 ... show more
