Thames & Kosmos Pinball Machine Maker STEM Experiment Kit Toy of the Year Finalist, Gumball Rally l Explore Physics, Force, Motion, Gravity, Simple Machines

This thing is the best gift I bought for Christmas for my 9 year old. He loves legos, but he builds them and then they sit on a shelf. This he built by himself, and he loves playing with it! It is a great little pinball machine. The gum doesn’t taste good, and falls on the floor easily, so it’s more for game pieces. Even my cat is obsessed. And the game is modular. You can move the pieces around to change the game up. I love Thames and Cosmo. I have purchased from them in the past and their customer service is amazing. My son accidentally broke a piece on a mechanical hand toy, and he wrote them an email and they sent him a new piece. Even at full price of 39$, this toy is 100% worth it.

My son loved assembling this and it has been a blast to play.

"We are beyond pleased with this purchase! It’s rare to find an activity that truly engages both an 8-year-old and a 5-year-old, but this nailed it. It was straightforward enough to be fun to build, yet challenging enough that we all felt a genuine sense of accomplishment once it was finished. Best of all, it’s a blast to play with afterward. Seeing their faces light up when they realized they built their own toy was priceless. Then the fun time. The boys spent hours playing nicely together and trying to achieve new goals each time. Highly recommend for a family project!"

Purchased for grandson (7). Not of high quality but he enjoyed for a few weeks.

I regretted buying this toy. The construction felt flimsy, and it didn’t seem durable even after I finished assembling it. We ended up throwing it away not long afterward.

They end up handling the gumballs a lot then putting them in their mouth so maybe set up some handwashing rules:). Gum isn’t great quality and gets grainy fast. The build your own pinball machine is awesome. Took a bit to assemble pieces. Great value.

As kids get older it becomes harder to find birthday gifts that are age appropriate and fun. My son loved building this, and it becomes a fully functional pinball machine which is super cool. It’s now my go to gift for birthdays 10-13.

This was a great activity for STEM-loving kids. My boys had a lot of fun assembling it and seeing how everything worked together. It kept them engaged and gave them a sense of accomplishment once it was finished. A really fun and educational build.

Lo compré para un regalo y le encantó Lleva horas entretenido con esto

Está bien, cumple su función pero debería traer unas pelotitas cuando se acaben los chicles y el escenario de fondo quedaría mejor de plástico que de cartón
