Thames & Kosmos Kids First Intro to Engineering Kit

This was purchased for a Christmas present. The individual was very happy as the gift allowed adult interaction

Bought this as gift for our grandson. Grandson and his parents loved this set. We love to give gift that are fun and teach at the same time.

I picked this up for my 5 year old niece, and I was asking her for parts by their proper names in about an hour. "pass me the lever, and I'll show you how" If you're like me, and want your nieces and nephews starting early into Newtonian Mechanics before junior high, this is a good start!

This engineering toolkit has provided my son with a wonderful foundation for basic engineering skills. The instructions are very precise and provide good foundation to build upon in the future. Pulleys, levers, wind up cars; gravity, boats... it's all there.

The activities are great but there are some that need extra materials. The directions are not always clear and we wish more details would have been given. For the money, we expected more. Our 5 year old daughter does like to participate but it can be challenging to explain things with how the directions are worded. There should be a list of materials the project provides and the materials you will need from home separate.

My 6 year old son has been saying he wants to be an engineer for a few years, I got him this for Christmas and he was so excited to build and learn from it!

This was purchased for my daughter who likes to build stuff. There is a lot of parts to making the different things in the box. I don't recommend just giving it to a child without supervision, they will definitely need help. The material of each component is okay. Some of the parts are a little flimsy. You have to have a child who really likes to build to appreciate this type of gift.

Perfect for age groupd suggested on box. Great interaction educational toy children and their parents
