Build STEM-driven models, such as DJ Bubbles (an octopus spinning records), a pterodactyl, a yeti, and much more! Kinetic sculptures, or automata, are mechanically engineering toys that move when you crank the handle on the side. They move through a series of axles, cams, and cranks that work like the pistons in an engine. Each model includes a papercraft character that you fold and link with LEGO elements.
Build 8 physics-driven kinetic creatures using LEGO Technic bricks and papercraft.
Includes every LEGO element you need!
STEM content about axles, cams, cranks, engineering in everyday machines is included in the 64-page book, alongside the step-by-step instructions.

My son loved this!
This was the perfect gift for my son who loves to build. Complex enough for an 8 year old and made of good quality material!

Bought it for a 5-year old, was a bit too young
I had to help my 5-year old (who can do 7-8 year old legos on his own) to assemble this. It was really fun and a good bonding time, but he was a bit frustrated he couldn’t do it on his own.

Parts are good; paper parts flimsy
We enjoy building the bots and the parts are all there. The paper parts of the bots are flimsy with tiny tabs that donât stay in place.

Read product description
Apparently, I did not read the description well enough to know that this kit DID NOT contain 8 separate LEGO gear bots. I bought it thinking each child could make one. However, there are only enough parts to make each gear bot one at a time. The parts have to be reused with each new build. Also the âpaperâ parts are not sturdy. Theyâre difficult for 8-10 year olds (and their grandma) and would have been much better if they were made of plastic.
