Technokit - Stunt Buggy

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Electronic Science Kits
from: Interplay UK


My son got this for a christmas present and it was put away for some time with dad. Unfortunately the pieces were very hard to get out and some ended up snapping. Then the instructions were very poorly illustrated and once a mistake had been made it was almost impossible to get the wheels etc back off. It turned into a very frustarting time for dad and son and to change the foam washers to change the way the buggy moves requires the same fiddly process which requires two sets of pliers to remove the wheels. Not something that a child of 8 has the strength to do. However, once the buggy was up and running the kids enjoyed playing with it and there was some educational value in the different tensions to change the sped.

John Adams Electro Mag

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Electronic Science Kits
from: John Adams


This is a good educational toy with easy to follow instructions for setting up circuits. The connections are robust as they are based on magnets - easy for a child to construct and pull apart. My only quibble is the scientific explanations which are too difficult for a 7-8 year old. It needs a simple description/glossary for each component with uses within a circuit followed by the more complicated description. Relies therefore on parental help - pretty non-existent in my household!

One engineer's symbol (light) is inconsistent.
