Overall idea is great but glue is horrible and takes forever to dry. Some of the sticks are warped and impossible to glue together. It said 8+ but my 6 year old really wanted it so I said what the heck. $5-10 worth of craft supplies that you can get from hobby lobby or craft store. Don’t waste your money!

The projects are impossible to complete. They should just market this as “stuff to craft with in a fancy box”. Not impressed

It needs a book to show kids ideas on what to make. There is no guidance at all. My 6 year old was done after using the popsicle sticks.

Although this set comes with plenty of things to craft with, the instruction booklet is almost non-existent. The front page says “complete guide to inventions” and I think that’s a little too far stretched as it’s basically just a photo album of things you COULD build. I understand the reasoning behind this as it’s supposed to motivate kids to build their own designs, but we were really looking forward to build the things on the front of the booklet.

It did have an adequate amount of supplies but the few pages of instructions did not include what was on the cover. The website is no help either, one 2 instructional videos, both not from the “inventors box”

Momofboys - 3 years ago, Verified purchaser
This didn’t seem age appropriate for a 10 year old. It was difficult projects and the instructions are missing pages so you don’t know what to do with all the stuff. My kid is creative and loves STEM projects and in the gifted program so feel like he would make something if he could. Looked fun…but isn’t. Returned.

I bought this for my son for his birthday and it is a pretty nice looking substantial craft kit for the price. It had lots of neat things you could make with the supplies provided. My daughter thought it was so cool she asked if I might be able to get her one for her birthday too. Inside the craft kit comes with a guide that is a little booklet with ideas. It is a great gift for the creative kid in your life.

Our thinkbox is fully intact and in perfect condition. The plastic see-through lid includes a length conversions table, a 10" ruler, and a 25cm ruler built in. There's 3 small compartments about .5" deep and a spacious 6.5" compartment measuring appr 3/4cm deep to help hold supplies while building. There aren't enough supplies to create multiple projects and the instructions doesnt cover all the projects shown on the cover like the pinball machine that is (btw) mostly decorative and non-functional. In my opinion thinkbox is overpriced and misleading. A fair price would be $15. This set would be great for anyone w/ a big imagination or someone who already owns crafting supplies and can add to this kit.
