    Bought to donate for a charity fundraiser. Great concept to teach kids instead of just mindless playing with a toy, this provides value.

    Bought this as a gift for a friend’s child. Seemed to go over well. It’s a toy, but also an opportunity to create something and requires a grasp of directions.

    I got this toy for my son for his 12th birthday. The instructions are not clear all the time and my son got frustrated and gave up on it. So it is sitting in his room unfinished.
