LEGO Gadgets (Klutz Science/STEM Activity Kit) 10.25" Length x 0.75" Width x 10" Height

This was one of my son's favorite Christmas gifts this year. He really enjoyed assembling each project and I was thrilled with his delight! Here are some specifics that make this a great gift:1. Very clear instructions. Out of the whole book, my son only made one building error.2. All pieces included. You have to disassemble each project to reuse the pieces, but there isn't any need to find pieces around the house to complete any project.3. Super cool press-outs make each project more fun and interesting. NOTE: my son did need help a few times with pressing these out and taping them together.4. It all fits back in the box/book for storage. NOTE: the box flaps tore so we taped and trimmed them to make them easier to open and close.5. Great hand-on way to learn about simple machines. In this new, on-line teaching environment, any opportunity to reinforce lessons with hands-on activities is welcome!Gadgets include a claw, a pinwheel, a mixer, a catapult, and more!

Because why stop at plastic bricks when you can mix in some paper magic?Origami meets engineering—what a combo!

Requested by preteen as a gift and they found it as described and fun.

I bought this last December as a gift for my grandson, but decided to wait a year to give it to him since he was only seven years old last year. I’m glad I waited. This is a great gift but I do think it would be frustrating for any child younger than 8, unless there was direct adult supervision.You can construct multiple gadgets, but there are only enough parts to make one at a time.Any parent knows a child happy with their creation likes to play and admire it for a bit and then construct another without having to disassemble their first creation. This could be solved by the addition of a second set of identical Lego pieces. Though it might raise the price a bit it would solve this problem and also ensure you could still make a complete gadget if one of the very small pieces goes missing.The second point of frustration is the paper pieces, as mentioned in other reviews, are too flimsy and tear easily.Both of these issues could be remedied in a new improved Lego Gadget 2. I would certainly purchase it if and when it becomes available

LEGO Gadgets by Klutz is an absolute hit with my LEGO-loving boy! This science and STEM activity kit provides hours of entertainment and learning opportunities. With easy-to-follow instructions and a wide variety of projects, it's the perfect gift for any young builder. Highly recommended for fostering creativity and curiosity in LEGO enthusiasts of all ages!

Love the concept needs more blocks i think

Purchased this item as a gift for my grandson. He was very pleased with the product. Very excited to start building some projects.

Grandbrat (9 years old) excitedly opened the pieces for the first time today, after getting over his initial shock (there's no character in the box, really?), he spent about 15 minutes reading about the gadgets and about 12 minutes later proudly produced his completed grabber with a huge smile. He spent the rest of his visit trying the grabber on objects of all shapes. It's a 'leave at Granny's toy' he plans on making the catapult next week.There are not a ton of pieces but they are versatile. The set does not feel cheap, the grabber felt pretty sturdy.I'd definitely buy again and might get a second set for when multiple grandbrats are here.

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.

It’s such a fun idea but unfortunately you really don’t get a lot of pieces for the price. It was very disappointing opening a big box to find such a small bag of lego. Please see the photo attached.

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.
