Selieve STEM Toys Projects For Kids Ages 8-12, DIY Solar Climbing Vehicle Motor Car, Educational Mechanical Engineering Science Building Kits, Easter Birthday Gifts For 6-12+ Year Old Boys Girls Review

It was pretty easy for my 8 year old to understand how to put it together. He did need my help with it physically putting some of the pieces together because he needed more strength. He has played with it every day (inside the house and outside on the driveway) and it's still going strong. He even puts small stuffed animals on it and the "search for aliens"! The solar power works and you can add 2 AA batteries if you don't have enough sun where you live.

This product says 6-12 yrs, but realistically, you need an adult involved in each step, if only because the instructions are extremely vague. "Mounting the reducer into the box" is step 1. There are pictures, but they're not color coded or exact to specifications, so unless you are familiar with these types of projects, it'll be a little difficult to determine what goes where. Also, most of the pieces come from a single plastic mold sheet and require punching out as well as carefully trimming…

[Written by 13 year old]I received this as a gift and was super excited to put it together! I was able to put it together and did most of the work myself but I did need some help from my dad as the instructions were a bit confusing in some places.When we first finished it didn't work. My dad suggested maybe the gears were locked up so we took it back apart through some of the steps and loosened up the motor pieces and it started working. I guess I pushed it together too hard.It was very…

Pretty cool toy! But not for the assembly part. I don't know many 8-10 year olds that would be able to put this together. I'm a mechanic and it took me 3 hours to assemble because the instructions are strait from IKEAs rule book.

It’s a defective piece, I ordered it for my son,but we are not happy because even it’s not assembled by us. That's my feedback.

My son is a bit of a tech child. He loves all these types of toys. He is 7yrs old and had no issue putting this together. It was a great buy. I'm going to grab a couple more to give away as gifts.

Great educational yet fun toy for kids. My 10 year old received this as a gift and absolutely loved building it and then playing with it. Strongly recommend!

Likes:• battery/solar power so no need to worry about a dead battery when the sun is out.• cool looking• adjustable wheel placement and bodyDislikes:• too many pieces to build• only moves one direction• fragileIf someone asked me to buy this, I would tell them to get it if you’re a good builder.

This is really a good staff and burn my son’s head. But also it’s nice that he can pay more time and focus on this. When the assemble I finished he do enjoy it. Solar is nice and clean power instead of replace the batteries all the time.The instruction is good as well.

Assembly required parent. Took some time because the instructions weren't clear. When complete, it wouldn't run neither with the AA battery nor solar. Disappointed. Toy discarded once assembled.

I BOUGHT 2 OF THESE AND NEITHER ONE WORKED. PEICE OF JUNK. 30 DAY RETURN WINDOW EXPIRED. IT WAS A GIFT AND THEY DIDN'T BUILD IT FOR A MONTH. NUMEROUS REVIEWS SAYING IT NEVER WORKED!

This one is very similar to Tamiya’s Wheel Walker. It has a larger solar plate on top but price is less than half of it. My son uses a bit less than 2 hours with almost no help to assemble it. The quality is pretty good and he has lots of fun. Btw, he is 12 yr old.

The toy instructions were not good at all. Therefor, not a good kid friendly toy, not to mention that my daughter is 9 years old. The toy is poorly made. Once built, pieces will easily fall off. Definitely not worth the money. It was supposed to be a fun activity and it turned into a very stressful process. WASTE OF MONEY

It’s easy to assemble. This was a gift to my 10 y/o(who doesn’t like assembling) and was happy with his work. Thanks for attention!

My 8 year old son was excited to build this solar car all by himself. It has over hundred pieces that kept him concentrated for hours. This solar vehicle can run on rugs and hardwood floors as well as climbing obstacles. Good DIY project for young boys.

I purchased this as a gift for my autistic son’s 12th birthday as he enjoys putting things together and also loves cars, so he got two in one lol.Usually we leave him to it and he comes back within an hour with the project completed. I have 4 stars because the directions were unclear and our boy had to solicit dad’s assistance. They had a great time putting it together and will continue enjoying it I’m sure.

My son received this as a gift and loves it. Excellent product, well made. Great for education. Works very well. The solar panels may not be powerful enough to move the vehicle efficiently!

The plastic track broke . I'm pretty dissatisfied. I got it for my sister and she was gentle but it fell apart. Now it cant do everything it should.

My 7 year old and my 13 year old had a fun time putting this Mars Rover together. They really liked the solar power option and the motor is switchable between battery power and solar power which is nice for when it is not sunny out. On solar, it will only work in direct light as expected. I think it is a very nice STEM gift for any young child who likes space or solar power. Would recommend purchasing again!

Gave this to my nephew for Christmas . He loved it . He enjoys building things and this was perfect for him (he’s in 4th grade ) . Definetley would recommend as a gift , or just to keep little hands busy .
