Smartivity Pinball Machine STEM DIY Fun Toy, Educational & Construction based Activity Game Kit for Kids 8 to 14, Best Gift for Boys & Girls, Learn Science Engineering Project

Very good machine. Creative for everyone. Quite durable.

Item worth spending. We can't buy a physical pinball (at least easily). Making this game was fun, playing was an addictive habit. Making it is real fun. But we can make without a single mistake. All the instructions are well illustrated.

Amazing thing!?! I didn't expect this qualityit is huge in size and is actually durable i mean from wood I would expect it to break easily but no! It is easy to use for kids and is very entertaining to my child. It is also very functional but all thing have atleast one bad thing that here is the RUBBER BANDS!. OH THIS BEAUTIFUL THING WOULD BE SO GOOD IF NOT FOR THE RUBBER BANDSS!

My son loves this. Well designed!

My 9 year old daughter had fun setting it up. All the neighborhood children love to play with it.

It was awesome, worth buying.

Very good. Makes kids creative side active.value for money

A mio figlio è piaciuto tantissimo costruirlo, si diverte giocandoci e a sfidare gli amici. Lo consiglio!

We all have played pinball as kids and now I got a chance to assemble a set with my 7 year old daughter who loved doing it. This is an excellent toy and the quality is good too. I would highly recommend this.

Unglaublich genialer Bausatz. Alle Teile passen perfekt zusammen. Mein 7-jähriger und ich hatten großen Spaß beim Bauen. Die Anleitung ist so gut bebildert, dass man auch ohne deutsche Übersetzung kein Problem hat, ihr zu folgern. Interessanterweise lagen ausführliche estnische, litauische und lettische Übersetzungen bei, vielleicht fälschlicherweise. Es gibt kaum Plastikteile, sehr nachhaltig. Alle Kleinteile sind überreichlich vorhanden, so dass auch was verloren gehen kann. Und der fertige Flipper? Spielt sich super. Kein kurzer Gag, sondern ein tolles Spielzeug von bleibendem Wert.

This was a Christmas gift for my 11 year old. He has built it over the last few days with some help. If your child was in to lego they'd probably find this straightforward (he's not!). There are a lot of pieces and a very long manual but it is very easy to put together and the instructions are very clear (and not that long!). Once built it's great fun and feels really sturdy. There are some questions and experiments at the end to help explain the science behind it. Overall, we're really impressed with this. My husband has already asked what other sets are available!

I purchased the smartivity pinball machine for my 7 year old son, who desperately wanted a pinball machine for christmas. After looking at some tabletop machines, browsing through numerous reviews, and weighing the pros and cons, I decided that the likelihood of a cheap plastic machine ending up in a landfill after only a couple of months was probable, and not aligned with my less waste goals. Upon first opening his gift, my son was surprised as I'm sure he was expecting an electric game. Once we opened up the box to begin building he was very excited to see all the components, and he couldn't wait to start building. We first made sure everything that was included came in the box and decided it would be best to leave the sheets intact until we were prompted to take the pieces from them. Now let me get to the instruction manual. If there were ever an example of what a perfect instruction manual should look like, it would be this. The directions were exceedingly clear and concise consisting of written description and coordinating pictures of the front view as well as the reverse view which was very well planned out. There was honestly not one step of the way where we were confused on what to do next. we completed the build together in two sessions that were about 1 to 2 hours each, Which I feel is a perfect amount of time to inspire anticipation in my son while not causing frustration or burnout. We're getting to the best part now. This completed pinball game is so so so much fun! my son played for 2 hours straight on the first day. On the second day he played a total of 4 hours trying out all the different techniques and variations. I have never seen him so involved and interested in anything as I saw him with this pinball machine. My teenage son's friend has been over twice this week as well, and he was drawn to the pinball machine both times playing with it for a good amount of time. I especially love the balls in the vaults for keeping your score which doubles as math practice. Overall this has by far been the best online purchase to date that I have ever made, and it has been the most enjoyable thing that I have ever taken part in building. The pinball machine is solid, high quality, and obviously very entertaining as well. If you are looking for a great gift for an engineering-minded kid, I can't recommend this pinball machine enough. Buy it!
