Great for learning too ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 6 year old grandson loves it. *by M***E on 23 July 2025* Grandson loves it and it was delivered in good condition and time. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great *by C***L on 17 September 2023* What a kit, First impressions were good but the kids took a while to warm to it. That all changed on day two when they realised through trial and error what they needed to do to build thing properly. Using as many cogs to build a crane? tick. My only worry is that the elastic bands are going to get lost and no spares are included with it. would have been a 5 star review if that was the case. ## Frequently Bought Together - Learning Resources STEM Explorers Machine Makers, 60 Pieces, Ages 5+, STEM Toys, STEM Building Toys, STEM Kits, Engineering Toys, Build it Yourself Toys - Learning Resources STEM Explorers Brainometry - 34 Pieces, Ages 5+ STEM Toys for Kids, Brain Teaser Toys and Games, Kindergarten Games,Back to School - Learning Resources STEM Explorers Pixel Art Challenge, 402 Pieces, Ages 5+, STEM Toys For Kids, Coding Basics For Kids, STEM Activities For Classroom, Medium --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/533353437-stem-explorers-machine-makers-60-pieces-ages-5-build-it](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/533353437-stem-explorers-machine-makers-60-pieces-ages-5-build-it) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
