Learning and fun are combined with the Think Box Build Your Own Rubber Band Car. Your child will take pride in building something all on their own while improving construction skills, developing hand-eye coordination, and learning how to distinguish between energy types with four ways to set the car in motion. Assembling the cars is only half the fun! The kit includes wooden rubber band car, (4) wooden wheels, (2) rubber bands, nylon cord, glue tube, and easy to follow instructions. The Think Box Build Your Own Rubber Band Car is recommended for children age 8 and up. Think Box is a collection of activity kits focused on thoughtful, development play. Pushing science into a gender-neutral realm, each kit is designed with the end user in mind, complete with visual instructions, fact cards and posters. The line extends the traditional bookends of the craft and activity category challenging young minds.

Components very nicely done but instructions left something to be desired.
Grandson received for Christmas. Essentially two die-cut wood panels and some misc. parts in a bag. Actually very nicely done. The accompanying instructions are printed on the backside of a kinetic energy poster (presumably for the little one's wall). Assembly goes very smoothly although some minor sanding (sandpaper not included - suggest getting a sheet of 220 grit) is needed to accommodate some sharp edges trying to go through round-ended slots. First problem are the wheel - axle assemblies. Part of the rear axle assembly includes two parts (one dog-bone shaped and one Pac-Man shaped). Apparently they have something to do with locomotion but they are loose on the axle so how that would work is not clear. Also on the rear axle, one wheel is TIGHT (we had to get a tack hammer to tap it onto the the axle) and the other is LOOSE. On the front axle, both wheels are LOOSE. Not sure how they are supposed to stay on the axle. It is puzzling because the designer did such a nice job of providing "wedges" to hold all the body parts together but nothing for the axles/wheels. It's like a different fellow was in charge there. Anyhow, the second problem was the locomotion methods. We tried all three suggestions but between the loose pieces and the brevity of instructions we were unable to make any of them work. Rounding out the contents of the box was a small bottle of glue ... but not a single word anywhere on the box or in the instructions on what to do with it. Given that the body construction was glue-free, perhaps it was left over from an earlier kit design?
