6 and 8 year old grandsons and their father "play" with this educational kit together for hours at a time. Always something new to learn. The scientific concepts are easy to understand with this hands-on approach to learning.

I had no idea what this toy was, but while my 10 year old grandson was ere this last month, he really had a blast making things with this toy. You do need to watch and help a little bit, but overall I think the parents had fun helping him just as much as he had constructing things.

Nice toy for an older child. Box has nice storage, good directions and is strong. Great fun for the builder in the family.
