These #tinkercrates are a wonderful creation! First project, building a movable wooden crane. Step by step instructions help to train their minds in the areas STEM. #kidengineers #tinkercrate #woodencrane #homeschoolers

These @tinkercrate projects are the BEST!! Corbin made this hydraulic claw, tweaked it a bit to make it work even better and the went around the house perfecting his pick up skills! Thanks Auntie for the awesome gift subscription!

Pax got @tinkercrate as a Christmas present last year and it has been perfect for this little engineer-minded guy. I love it because it keeps the brain active and doesn't involve a screen (my fave!).

Super fun!
My 9-year old son loved putting this together and then using it to make fun art. He was excited to learn how the motor worked. My 6-year old daughter helped him and was super into it as well.

Great fulfilled activity toy to build and play
My 11 year old daughter absolutely loved this crate. I would have given five star, if you can only add instructions how to make more paper cutouts and what color can be used. That will help kids more engage and try a lot this spin art machine

Fun crate
My 6 and 7 year olds had fun assembling it and creating their spin art. Directions were easy to follow- no trouble with assembly.

GREAT
We are a university lab that works on analytical chemistry projects. We used this tool for our research tasks. Product works exactly as expected. Good product that saved us having to purchase $ >50K equipment.

5 year old can enjoy this
This spin art was simple to follow the instructions and build. It was also so great there was a book that came along that explained the science part of the craft. I am not an engineer so had no idea how the resistors work but thankfully for the book I got to explain it properly to my 5 year old. The instructions were simple to follow, my 5 year old was able to follow through with light supervision, and after the provided paint was done with, we used the at home paint and created so many new art work. And now I have a 5 year old telling everyone how resistors works, haha. Definitely a great first purchase.

Need more paper
I’d rank this project w/ 5 stars, but kids need to be able to get more paper and paint via Kiwi!. Pandemic doesn’t permit resupplying from local stores.

Interesting and Fun
My grandson really likes this crate. He has shown it to his mom and sister and described how he put it together. He watched the video to see more ideas about using different speeds to change the splatter paint design. This is the best crate. Just wish we could buy more pre-cut paper and paint from Kiwi but there is an art supply shop nearby......

Amazing Fun spin art machine kit
I would like to highly recommend this product and concept. I am so grateful that I have found it by pure hazard, especially during this confinement period. The package arrives on time and my boy and I had a load fun together. I immediately subscribed for a year so my kid could try more kits.

So much fun!
This was my first Tinker Crate. I had a lot of fun putting it together. My mom was my assistant while I worked the Blueprint. Perfect for quarantined learning while we all school from home.

So much fun!
This kit is a great combination of learning and fun. It teaches about motors, circuits, and resistors. I helped a 7 yo complete the project, and then we had hours of spin art fun.
