Not for people that read instructions

I bought this for my 6 year old daughter as a set of projects we could do together. Today we started with the two wheeler balance car and then did the bubble machine.The end instructions for the balance car were missing and it went right into the bubble instructions. We were able to figure it out.The bubble machine had the wrong sized metal 'shaft', leaving me to do some macgyvering to make it work.In both sets, the instructions were lacking. The wires were cut in such a way that soldering or restriping them was the way to go.or simply replace with solid core wire, because keeping them attached to the motor the way they were was not working well.I guess I could sum this up by saying these projects had a lot of potential to be wonderful, but seemed to miss the mark on several minor details. A little tlc from a graphic designer, and proof reader, and a quality control manager would go a long way to bringing this product to something wonderful.

Pros
  • My 11 yr old loved this gift
Cons
  • The car may not be as durable for rough play or outside use.
