    Pax got @tinkercrate as a Christmas present last year and it has been perfect for this little engineer-minded guy. I love it because it keeps the brain active and doesn't involve a screen (my fave!).

    Fun with hyradulics

    This crate was well put together. My daughter really enjoyed the experiment showing gas compression versus liquid compression. The only difficulty she had was in preventing air bubbles in her hydraulics. I helped her solve that by filling them while totally immersed.

    Love it

    My boys loved seeing how hydraulics work! They had a blast trying out new ways of arranging the pieces and seeing how everything moved!
