    My 6 year old grandson and I had a wonderful time putting this together. He loved the end result and that he can also be creative to make it look like other creatures/characters. Great education booklet also!

    We gave this as a gift to my 8 year old nephew and he built it with his grandfather. They remarked that it was very well made and cleverly designed. They had fun putting it together and it worked like a charm jumping around.

    I must admit ! I love the idea of KiwiCo. We are new to your company. I have bought more products than we have made yet. Jumping Robot's are waiting for birthday's in April. They looks wonderful. Give me some time before I give my official review.
