Music Machine; Mechanical Action, Science, Engineering STEM and STEAM Building Kit for Kids Ages 8 and Up

Item very good gave instant pleasure to small girl

Wow, I can’t say enough about this kit! Me and my son had SO much fun building this set and he has shown it off to all of his friends. It was part of a homeschool lesson, but I ended up buying several other kits just for fun. There is no glue, everything is held together by rubber bands so once you build it, there is no waiting to use it! It actually plays the songs very clearly, we started with jingle bells, but there are several other choices of songs, as well as how to make your own. The directions are extremely clear and straight forward. It comes with a thick sheet of paper that talks about the science of sound and things like pitch and such. It was such a great teaching moment! My son is 5 and had no problem building this with a little help/direction from me. I figured I would be left doing most of it, but I was very wrong! He was so engaged in this activity. It’s also a great room decoration once done that has a cool, “I made this myself”, story! Seriously an underrated product that I don’t see many people talking about. EVERY child should get a chance to build one of these!

I do not usually review products, but I cannot stay silent about this product, it is WONDERFUL! I was searching for projects to do with my 8 year old daughter, and came across this kit. She is highly creative and thirsts for knowledge. She also loves music. She and I had a great time putting it together and she absolutely adores it. It takes about an hour or two to put together. The instruction book is very easy to follow. No additional parts needed. Best fact ever, she even spent a week making her own songs. I printed out some music sheets and she wrote her notes down and titled her song. She shows everyone that comes over her music player. I honestly want more of these projects!

My 10 YO was able to put together and made a song. It is sturdy but definitely not for kids who are more ‘destructive’. Came with extra pegs which is nice.

This was a Christmas gift for my 10 year old son and we’ve never purchased a wooden puzzle kit before. He put it together over two days; total work time was about 6 hours. He absolutely loves it! He likes Lego sets and reading, so extended focus tasks are right up his alley. He required help only twice during assembly and it was to push a couple of pieces together that were quite snug. The quality of the wood is great! There are also a couple extra pieces included in case something breaks, which only happened once. The directions were clear enough that my son did not need to ask for help in this area. The final product does not produce a perfect chain reaction through to the end. The “dominos” are not heavy enough to trigger the ski ball portion. This didn’t detract from the overall enjoyment of the kit though. We easily found other items in our house to substitute. I would absolutely buy more puzzles from this brand. It really was excellent all around.
