I feel this is a starter kit for 8-10 yr olds

I returned this kit unopened, because it is rated from 8 yrs old. My grandson is 12 and already doing more advanced things. I wanted something to challenge his aptitude, and this seemed more like a review of some basics that he would not find progress with.

Cool product. Wish there was something other than rubber bands to hold motors in place. Great for introducing electrical principles to someone.

Open-ended tinkering fun

Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2019

This kit is just perfect to stimulate thinking and engineering in children approx. aged 7 to 12. The wooden parts and electronic equipment are of high quality. We liked the fact, that it contains only the essentials and is not overburdened with small unnecessary parts that distract from the possibilities. This makes literally for hours of exploring, building and rebuilding. The kit is designed with the real capabilities of the age group in mind, so children are able to built and explore really independently and without the help of adults. Last, the creations, although "basic electric machines" are pleasantly aesthetic to look at due to the shapes and the material of the wooden parts and reduced colour palette.
The support of the supplier is extraordinary fast and generous, we asked for a couple of replacement rubber bands during the holidays and had twenty of them posted to the UK in under a week together with a few bits they added for free!
If you are looking for one kit for your children to start tinkering, THIS is it

Great toy for STEM hungry kids!

Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2018

We got this for my son for his six birthday. I knew he was on the young side for it, but he's so hungry to work with motors and batteries that we went for it anyway. He needed a little help, naturally, and we enjoyed working with it with him. I'm not particularly science / engineering minded, but the instructions were clear enough that I was easily able to guide him. I like the fact that I can learn alongside him with this toy! I should also mention, this was the first motorized / battery operated toy that has entered our house. As a wood toy leaning family, we really appreciated that it's mostly wood parts, and that it's not overly realistic - it really gives room for the imagination. For natural learning parents, this is definitely the most compatible kit I found for starting to explore electronics with your child. A totally great, worthwhile investment for our family, and I'm so looking forward to exploring all the projects it contains. Thank you, Tinkering labs!
