Gifted to my daughter
My daughter was gifted this set for her birthday. She absolutely loves it all! She is a very detailed oriented little girl and just gets flustered because there is a lack of instructions on where to place the extra stickers that come with the set.

Fast fun
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had this for a little while my son puts us together within a few minutes all by himself he played with it for probably a couple days and then didn't really play with it anymore so I feel like it's a short-term fun it is a cute little toy but he didn't get a whole lot of use out of it mainly because it didn't have any kind of working parts anything that kept him interested in it other than that I like the colors I love how easy it was for him to put together if you get him thinking and he loves things that he can put together so overall I do like it I just wish it had something else to keep him interested playing with it after he put it together like being able to change what it was more or something overall it was a good fun fast toy for him to play with it just needed that something extra special about it it did end up in the trash over time because he really just didn't play with anymore pieces got lost it wasn't something that was sustainable to keep over time but he did love it when he first got it

Actually kept his attention
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son is 6, and he's at an age where it's tricky to find toys that actually keep his focus. He seemed to really enjoy this rocket, space is something that he finds interesting, and he actually gave the toy his attention for a good chunk of time. I appreciate that it wasn't an annoying toy, wasn't loud or obtrusive, and gave him a chance to use his imagination. Not gonna lie, I think it's a pretty cool toy too, haha.

Fun and Exciting
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this as a free sample to review and it is all positive. I gave this to a niece that was visiting and she started playing with it immediately. She was able to follow the directions herself and she was very proud when she was done. The circuits were all correct and everything worked. This is a great gift that will help stimulate a kids mind.

Best way to learn how to build a circuit & have fun!
My 6 year old was so excited to build a rocket for the first time! This is the best way to introduce how to build a circuit and learn STEM skills for young learners. The little astronaut and robot are so cute and my daughter loves to pretend play it. I love that the possibilities are endless on what she can creatively build with this set. The instructions are very easy to follow and my 6 year old was able to do most of it on her own except for a few parts where she needed help. I love that she can play with this for years to come! All of the parts are durable and high quality. It does need AAA batteries so make sure you order those with it. I love that my daughter is having so much fun playing with it but she is also learning at the same time especially after virtual learning. Highly recommend!

Great STEM Toy + Intro to Circuits
This Rocket set is the perfect intro to circuits for young kids. My six year old was able to totally do this on his own and we enhanced playtime with a discussion about why the circuits worked the way they did, and why certain pieces had to be lined up certain ways. This set would be great for even younger kids! The only thing we had to help with was installing batteries {and it does take quite a few batteries so be sure to order those now} but he was able to build the different things on his own. The effects were fun too! *I received this item at a discount to be able to leave a proper review. All opinions are my own.*

Great gift for the curious
This toy is just a glimpse in to circuitry without getting too complicated. The child simply has to put the pieces together and make sure the lines on it match up to complete the circuit and it either lights up or rolls, depending on the piece. Don't forget the batteries.

Fun and Educational STEM Toy for Kids!
This Rocket set is awesome for school-age kids! The space theme is fun for both boys and girls and it's an engaging STEM set for kids to learn skills as they play. We didn't find it overly complicated and the diagram is kid-friendly. With an on-going pandemic, educational toys like this are greatly appreciated! The Rover and Deluxe Base Station are really cool additions to create an entire space set for kids! Great way to introduce kids to circuits and let them take pride in their own learning and building.

Great STEM toy!!!
I ordered this for my 5 year old son. It's recommended for 6 and up, but he is very interested in building things and learning with his toys, so we gave it a try and he LOVES it. We let him dig in as soon as we opened the box, and all we had to do was put in the batteries. The pictures in the instruction book are simple enough that he could look at it and put it together without being able to read all of the words. My husband was able to explain the circuit part to him while he was working, and now he has a great educational toy! The best part is that it can be taken apart and rebuilt to help further grasp the concept, and it can be combined with the circuit rover and circuit base station to create endless hours of fun play for kiddos!

Amazing Set!
Our kids loved playing with the rocket set! Once the batteries were in place, our 6 and 3 year olds worked together to build a rocket. They were excited to see the rocket light up after putting all the pieces together. They also made the rover and when the pieces matched together to close the circuit, they were thrilled to press the power button and see the rover light up! This set is so amazing because it allows the kids to think creatively and build other models based on their own imagination. Not only does this set encourage kids to piece items together, but it also encourages critical thinking while having fun!
