    I liked it because I got the chance to make the design

    We love kiwico items so much! And we wanted to love this… however the bunny robot just did not work. We followed the directions completely and it didn’t move at all. So unfortunately since that was the main project in this box, we put in a lot of work and didn’t get much out of it. But that being said, we’ve tried a lot of the different kiwico crates and have been super impressed! This was a disappointment but will probably not hinder me from exploring new crates in the future.

    My 4 year old wasn’t really into making the pieces itself, but he did enjoy decorating his robot. Once all the pieces were put together, he spent all night doing the obstacles cards that come with this set. Once he completed all the cards, he went on to make his own obstacles and find ways around it! He had so much fun and loved the challenge. My husband and I loved seeing his imagination!

    This is one of my daughters favorites. She played with this one longer then the others making different tracks. She even brought it to the park to show her friends.

    When the robot followed the track, my five year old said “my mind exploded!”
