Reviews
My 9 year old is having so much fun exploring ways to use this project. I do wish it were a bit more sturdy.
The pendulum was awesome to assemble and my daughter had a blast watching it drop and swoop to make chaotic patterns.
My son really wanted to make a double pendulum so he was so excited about this crate. It contained everything he needed and the directions were easy for him to follow.
