In their words

By far this has been the best activity for my autistic children and they enjoyed it so much I was so happy building it with them and watching them play with it the sad part we're getting to take it apart to put it back in the Box what the fun part they got up by themselves and rebuilt it

Doesn’t work well. An adult had to change the design a bit to get it to make a full rotation. Would only go through a few rotations before becoming stuck. I have a disappointed grandchild. Not a good buy.
