These #tinkercrates are a wonderful creation! First project, building a movable wooden crane. Step by step instructions help to train their minds in the areas STEM. #kidengineers #tinkercrate #woodencrane #homeschoolers

These @tinkercrate projects are the BEST!! Corbin made this hydraulic claw, tweaked it a bit to make it work even better and the went around the house perfecting his pick up skills! Thanks Auntie for the awesome gift subscription!

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!).
