LEGO Gadgets: Everything you need to build 11 different machines (Klutz)

Excellent learning tool with comprehensive book

I bought this for my 9 year old son’s birthday. He’s really into Lego and I liked the STEM theme. We’ve made the claw, mix master and robo boxer. So far, so good. Easy to put together. All worked well. I wondered how effective and strong the cardboard elements would be but they seem to be good. My 11 year old daughter is also very interested in making the gadgets. Good value for money. I would definitely recommend this.

Wonderful colourful collection. Great gift

Great Lego set to enhance kids creative play. Includes lots of different gadgets which you can follow instructions to make 11 different machines. The projects include a car and robot. Or use your imagination to see what you can make yourself! A great present idea for kids.

Bought for my son for xmas. He loves lego and enjoyed making all the models, his particular favourite was the catapult! The only thing is he doesnt like to break one model down to build another one, but all the book sets are like this.

Arrived promptly as added Christmas gifts at the last minute. Boxed up with three other gifts. Arrived in good condition. Received with great enthusiasm and glee. Looked very interesting and recipient had some extra ideas of how they could use with this items with their other Lego items. Who does not love Lego.

I got this for our 5 year old at Christmas - thinking that we could build these projects together, and conscious that my love of Lego and eagerness for him to love it too might be making me push him too hard. We built a couple of the projects and he loved them. One excellent thing about this book is that it helps show that Lego engineering principles can be applied to the wider world. At the weekend, after it got put away and forgotten about for a few weeks, he got it out himself, and built the entire gear train of the whisk project entirely independently. The instructions aren't an exact match for the standard Lego instructions - but they're extremely close, and just as clear. (Hopefully evidenced by the fact a 5 year old was able to follow them without problems) There aren't many Lego pieces included - but this is a massive plus for me. It shows how ingenuity is the main essential ingredient - and imagination is by far and away the main limiting factor. My only minor gripe would be a request that the storage compartment for the Lego bits be toughened up, and made more secure - I used some sellotape to reinforce the cardboard and created some lips so pieces can't fall out and get lost.

This book is a great buy. My 5year old loved making the models and although the science bits are aimed at older kids, he was still interested and it made a great introduction to them. I liked how at the start of each section the book explains the science behind the model then after you had built it described real world applications of the device. A bit of all sorts covered, optical illusions, physics, history etc. There is a lot of encouragement and ideas to develop the models shown further. A nice selection of old school Lego technic, gears that properly fit together and beams you can build up from provided. The cardboard bits are a bit flimsy and once removed from the book are easily lost and damaged when it comes to remaking the models. Worth mentioning adding paper and card pieces to Lego contraptions is a great idea and one we hadn’t thought of before. Making your own and colouring in your own cardboard parts is a great idea and adds to the play value of this kit. Definitely recommended and good value for both the Lego and the educational value.

Este livro traz as explicações científicas para suas diversas opções de montagem. As peças inclusas são LEGOs oficiais, assim, você pode expandir as experiências com outras peças que já possuir.

Not much bricks.

Divertente e originale. Alcune delle istruzioni non sono chiarissime.

Mein Sohn ist total begeistert. Die Anleitung ist auf Englisch, aber da die Bilder so gut sind, stört ihn dies überhaupt nicht.

It's a combination book with kit inside. Technically minded kids will be wrapped up in learning and fun.
