What owners single out
In their words
“This is an absolutely incredible toy. My son just turned 6 and I would describe it as completely appropriate to his age - he can use it without my help and is enjoying it so much, both doing the suggested builds and programmes or just messing around.”
SE25 · verified purchase · LEGO
“Bought this to work through with my 6 year old daughter. She loves it and I often have to slow her down through the builds to go through the educational material that accompanies the kit. As with most LEGO Education kits, this is really expensive. But if you factor in the amount of educational material developed to go with the kits, the value starts to make more sense.”
