WHY WE LOVE IT
Who doesn’t love two toys for the price of one? With this 88-piece kit, kids can build a pinball machine and play with it when assembled. Not to mention, the pinballs are edible gumballs, making it a perfect treat to enjoy while playing! Parents will love the kit’s educational benefits, which feature STEM elements such as physics and engineering. The kit also includes 10 learning experiments focusing on force, gravity, motion, kinetic energy, and more.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW
Younger children will need adult assistance to build the machine. For tricky assembly steps, builders can view Thames & Kosmos’s step-by-step video and use scissors or a nail file to remove plastic parts from the frames.
