Review: Great for STEM play - This has been one of our most used items, my daughter can spend days crafting and creating with waste cardboard. The little saw is child safe, and with a little bit of parental help you can engineer almost anything. The cardboard can still be recycled as you can take out the screws for use next time. This kit on its own has been enough for us, but we may look into buying additional pieces for bigger creations.
Review: Un kit súper divertido para crear todo lo que quieras - Juego de herramientas y anclajes para crear todo aquello que pase por tu imaginación. Viene en una caja de cartón duro tipo caja de herramientas. Llegó en buen estado. Fue un regalo de reyes y gustó mucho, en nuestro caso fue para un niño de 5 años con lo cual necesita ayuda para crear estructuras grandes (iglú, coete,…), ya que aún no tiene la capacidad para saber hacerlo solo, pero lo usa solo para hacer pequeñas cosas, es un juego súper divertido y creativo!
