It seems to develop your brain and is hard to work at first, try it it is fun to see how fast you can work them. It seems like the test they give to see if you are developing mental problems. I am 77 and at first had a hard tome doing it, as I worked it more it seemed to help me.

I got this game when my son was preparing to take a gifted assessment. I think the skills a child develops from this kind of activity are visual-spatial relationships, organizational processing abilities, nonverbal problem-solving skills and fine motor skills. I'd like my kids to be good at design (my occupation) - and I think this helps with pattern. You could also use the cubes to teach symmetry and asymmetry.

Spacial recognition, and organization. My 9 year old loves it, and I enjoy playing with her. We race each other at the beginning of every card, we choose from the stack. She loves winning! &#128521;

It helps with spatial learning, I find it helpful with my fifth grade students with their geometry and other math skills.

I haven't measured, but they are large. Developing fine-motor skill level, maybe too big for those who are looking for more detail work.

Usuallly not, but you have to develop skills along with use, practice is the only cure but you can do it..

Ages 3 to 13, or even older. This is a nice set of smaller good quality tools. I could see girls taking them to college or their first apartment .

We are using these for our students ages 18-21 with disabilities, some of which are pretty extreme. They seem to handle it well and are making some very nice hats which we are actually selling. I think an 8 yr old can work this.

Yes, you need a bit if skill or the ability to read and understand directions.

My daughter competes at USAG level 3, which this year is the previous level 4 skills. She can practice her routine on this beam at home. This is the same routine that she does at the gym on the high beam. Doing these skills on a lower beam at home really helps their balance and confidence. By the way, the gym has 2 beams exactly this size that the kids are sent to practice on if they are struggling on the high beam. It is also the same width as the high beam.

My son is 6 and gifted in Math and Science. He really enjoys it putting the configurations together then seeing what happens if he changes something around. You might think of it as advanced Legos - you put the bricks in the right order and you can make something interesting happen. The kids get a pretty good idea of how curcuits, resistors, etc work. If your child is interested in electronics, its is definately a good introduction. The 300 set comes with two booklets with a couple hundred projects/configurations. I believe they get progressively more difficult, but we are still on the first book. In the first book, the changes between one project and the next are sometimes minimal, but I believed designed to help the student understand how little changes can make a different outcome in the project. I hope this helps.

My grand daughter and I just watch YouTube and anything you need is on there. It gives you step by step training. Hope this helps you out, we loved the kit she had no problems with the materials at all.

This game teaches procedural concepts. I.e. step 1 do this, step 2 do this. The procedures are either: movement cards, laser beam card, or turning card. That's pretty much it. There is a function frog which let's you queue a bunch of steps but same diff imo

We bought this for my granddaughter and her mom replies that she is just learning basics in this version and would probably learn more with higher levels. I hope that is helpful.

If they know how to solder of if someone will be teaching them to solder, then 9 or 10. They'll just need enough hand-eye coordination to not burn their fingers. If they have to learn on their own, then I'd say 13 or 14.

Should be able to understand 95% of what you need to know. Once you do one, other models are pretty intuitive.

my son is 5 and loved these. both my kids love to build things. and this is just another "medium" for them to build and uses a different set of skills - blocks are stacked, the way these join - they really learn about "joints" and moving parts more.

I think there are a few at the end, but the book is mainly focused on beginners. I got it to learn so I could impress my nephew and it worked great.
