Designed to teach physics concepts like force, motion, and gravity, it features movable obstacles, a spring-powered launcher, and a clever Archimedes screw to recycle gumballs for endless play. Recognized as a 2025 Toy of the Year Finalist and a top STEM toy, this kit combines hands-on learning with delicious fun for kids aged 6 to 10. ## Description Explore lessons in physics and mechanical engineering with the sweetest pinball machine ever! Build your own customizable pinball machine that uses edible gumballs as the pinballs. Learn about force, motion, collisions, gravity, simple machines, and more as the gumballs bounce off bumpers, slingshot around spinners, ring bells, slide down tracks, and whiz around the obstacle course you create. The targets and accessories can be quickly repositioned into countless configurations, making it easy to test and refine your designs. The pinball machine’s spring-powered launcher and responsive flippers work like their real-life counterparts, propelling the gumball pinballs up, down, and all around! A central ramp rotates to direct the projectiles into three elevated playing areas and ultimately down the winning ramp, where the gumball can be claimed as a sweet prize. Did you miss your mark? Don’t worry! When gumballs fall out of play, a cool mechanism called an Archimedes screw stores them and moves them back toward the launcher again for a new game. ## Features - Build your own customizable pinball machine that uses edible gumballs as the pinballs! - The reconfigurable and reusable building system includes all kinds of obstacles like bumpers, slingshots, bells, ramps, and more; move them around to change up the playing field! - A fun, gamified approach to learning about physics concepts like force, motion, gravity, simple machines, collisions, and more. - Trial-and-error experiments promote hands-on learning, encourage creative problem-solving, and provide hours of open-ended play that’s different every time! - Gumballs included!

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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for STEM-Loving Kids *by on Reviewed in the United States March 15, 2026* 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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun *by on Reviewed in the United States February 27, 2026* We purchased this for our 10 year old grandson. He absolutely loves it and gets hours of playtime from it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Thames & Kosmos Pinball Machine Maker STEM Experiment Kit Toy of the Year Finalist - Build a Reconfigurable Pinball Machine, Explore Physics, Force, Motion, Gravity, Simple Machines, Gumballs Included - ThinkFun Gravity Maze - ThinkFun Roller Coaster Challenge STEM Toy and Building Game for Boys and Girls Age 6 and Up – TOTY Game of the Year Finalist --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/624970393-thames-and-kosmos-pinball-machine-maker-stem-experiment-kit-toy](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/624970393-thames-and-kosmos-pinball-machine-maker-stem-experiment-kit-toy) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-08-09*
