Klutz: Lego Chain Reactions: Design and Build Amazing Moving Machines

Product Information

Immediately upon receiving the book, without any adult help, he read the instructions and made the first thing and played with it.

But with my supervision, my 4- and 7-year-olds were both able to play with the kit and have a blast. They were working together, fully engrossed in a mini engineering activity that didn’t involve a screen, and building their problem-solving and fine motor skills without realizing it. The book is OK, but the chain reactions detailed in it seemed to end more with a whimper than a bang. Open-ended prompts and hints will inspire any LEGO fan to modify their gadgets and explore the possibilities hidden in their LEGO collection to build their own amazing machines.

This kit includes a book and 33 special LEGO elements that combine with basic bricks from your collection to make your machines go. Once they had built several gadgets together, my kids raced upstairs to grab their Lego set and started working on their own simple machines and inventions based on the skills they’d learned from this Klutz Lego kit. It also comes with a book that has easy-to-follow instructions and photos showing each step in the process of building different gadgets.

The instructions include simple sight words and bold headers to help kids easily follow along, and the gadgets are functional but not overly complex.
