Smartivity DIY Robotic Mechanical Hand STEM Toy for Kids 8-9-10-11-12-13-14 Years Old | 2024 Parents Choice Award Winner I Birthday Gift for Boys & Girls | Engineering Kit for 8-14 Years Old

Super cool hand that was good to do with a 10 year old. Some parts are hard to assemble alone, given how tiny rubber bands are and many different parts, plus difficult to pop some parts out of the sheets they come in, but a great activity to build together that takes 1.5 - 2 hours. The instructions are easy to follow and the back of the instruction book has great educational lessons and activities! The 10 year old who got this couldn't wait to play, and it fit decently (her hands were a bit too small but it functioned)--she wore it for hours and loves playing with it.

I bought the Smartivity DIY Robotic Mechanical Hand for my 11-year-old son’s birthday, and it was by far the gift he was most excited about. He’s a big fan of Legos, but this kit offered a totally different and refreshing experience. The assembly process was engaging and just challenging enough to keep him focused and entertained. What we loved most is that, unlike many building kits that just sit on a shelf once completed, this one can actually be played with afterward, adding extra value and fun. A fantastic gift for any kid who enjoys building and hands-on projects. Highly recommend!

Very fun for my son, he was very excited to put it together. The size is perfect but it was missing one part so now I have to buy another one to finish it but it is worth it.

I bought this for my students and it was a lot of fun to watch it be built. In the end we had a small issue with the thumb working but my student found that page 59 in the manual explained how to build the thumb and there is a "gripper locker" that was preventing smooth movement. He removed the "locker" after full assembly and it now works pretty good! What a great experiment!

Kept my 10 year old actively engaged for three non stop hours. He had no difficulty with the instructions. It was great. The materials are good quality

Grandson loved putting it together

Didáctico me encantó ver a mi hijo tan entretenido y enfocado en armarlo

Looking at this out of the box was scary, so I procrastinated doing it with my son. But he was persistent which is a great sign that it is interesting for kids, he’s 7. So we set to work on it and it ended up being easier than it looked!! A lot of the length of the book was repetition for the four fingers that aren’t the thumb. He loved it and had a blast showing off his hard work. It was maybe a little big for him, it says 8 and up, but he ended up being able to move all five fingers with his hand enough of the time for him to be happy. I will be on the lookout for kits from this same company again!!
