Great STEM project – younger age range will most likely need help
I’ve see similar kits but what attracted me to this one is that the models can actually move. There are some very similar models, but, officially, you can build 10 different models with this project. There are only enough pieces to build just one at a time which may frustrate some kids. The younger age range will most likely need help. There is a learning curve on these coming from building Legos – you have to get used to what parts are what. Secondly, you are not simply placing bricks on top of each other – you are threading things through a bolt in a particular order and orientated a specific way so it takes a minute to know what to put where from the directions. However, the biggest hurdle is that a lot more dexterity is needed than when building regular Legos. For example: you might have to hold a wrench onto a bolt threaded through something, then use the screwdriver to tighten it. It is a two handed manipulation. Having said that, it is really fun to see your creation move (you can go backwards and forwards). At least these bolts and nuts are much larger than the metal ones in Erector and other similar sets and the longer pieces have a bit of give in them – they are colorful and pleasant to work with. Although it wouldn’t be feasible perhaps to include all the parts to do all 10 projects at once, I wish there was a kit that allowed you to build at least 5 at a time. I know my grandson will not want to break apart his creations even when he can do another. Even I am reluctant to do it :). I am really excited to give this to my grandson though. There is a lot of educational value here and I am anticipating a lot of fun. If I had to pick, I would say this is best for older than 6, maybe 8+ if you want them to do it mostly on their own but it depends on the kid. It comes in a see-through plastic tub with a handle that can latch closed – a great idea with the number of small bolts and screws (definitely of a size that represents a choking hazard for younger siblings).

Great Learning Kit
I recently received the STEM Toys for Boys Kids Gift: 10 in 1 Electric Building Toys, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. When we opened the sturdy, see-through storage box, I was impressed by the vibrant colors and variety of pieces. The set includes 126 components designed to build ten different models, from bulldozers to helicopters, which adds a delightful touch to the creative play. I appreciate that this building set encourages children to explore concepts from science and engineering while having fun.The step-by-step guide booklet is very easy to follow. There was a slight learning curve, as this set requires a different approach than basic building blocks like Legos. It uses bolts, nuts, and a screwdriver, which means some assistance might be needed at first, particularly with the two-handed manipulation of tools. However, I loved being involved in the process, as it provided quality bonding time. The electric feature that allows the models to move adds an exciting dimension. Watching his creations zoom back and forth brought him endless joy, and he was thrilled to tell imaginative stories about his vehicles.While the fact that you can only construct one model at a time might frustrate some kids—especially when they want to keep building—it’s a great opportunity for them to focus and fully explore each design before moving on. The only downside I noticed is the potential choking hazard due to smaller parts, which is something to keep in mind if you have younger siblings. Overall, I highly recommend this building set as a gift for children aged 4-12; it fosters creativity and critical thinking and provides countless hours of entertainment and learning.

Versatile
I thought it would be a bigger set but nonetheless it was still good especially for gifting. It has plenty of combinations to keep a kid entertained for a good while and it doesn’t feel flimsy.
