Great Gizmos 4M Science Kits *review*

Great Gizmos have a great range of science kits for children designed to educate children about the sciences while having fun and learning about the environment, recycling, sustainability and  renewable energy and we were sent a Soda Can Robug set to review.

Charlie decided to get Dad involved while I was at work so this review is from them:




There were only about 10 parts to the kit, and the instructions were very easy to follow, backed up with clear diagrams.

It took just 15 minutes to make which kept Charlie's interest. He can soon get bored when items take too long to make or the instructions are too complicated

The kit is aimed at 8 years + but the screws were small and fiddly, meaning I had to help with that part.

It works well, but legs are very thin and it fell over a few times when working but that didn't really lessen the effect. 

It's a good kit for a child but the small screws mean adult supervision is needed, although an older child may manage them.





When I got home Charlie couldn't wait to show it to me. He was very impressed with it. I don't think he realised such fun could be had with an old drinks can.  I liked it too although I'm not so sure about the very loud buzzing sound when it's on!
