Thames and Kosmos Little Labs Intro To Engineering - Intro to Engineering welcomes young children to the field of engineering with 25 experiments and building projects in five sections. By engaging in hands-on activities, children will learn how engineers apply their scientific and technical knowledge to design machines and devices. Start by learning some engineering basics with experiments on levers, forces, and pulleys. Build simple devices using these basic components. Move on to explore engineering on land by building vehicles with wheels, such as a race car and a wind-up car. Next, investigate engineering with air and in the air by building a helicopter, a pinwheel, a parachute, a glider, a balloon rocket, and an air-powered carousel. Then, build a diving bell, a sailboat, and a paddle boat to experiment with engineering in water. Finally, find engineering in your own home with experiments modeling the telephone and television. With a 48-page guidebook, Intro to Engineering teaches engineering fundamentals with step-by-step, hands-on experiments and building projects. Ages 5 and up. Ages 5 and up 48-page Manual 25 Experiments

Cons Review
How disappointing! . Conceptually, I love this product. I am an engineer, and I was excited to use this as a tool to introduce my 6-year-old son to some engineering principles. If I had paid $[...] for it, I suppose I would have felt I got my money's worth. But for the price, this is really disappointing. Snap some wheels on a cheap plastic frame, you demonstrate "car." Wrap it in a piece of paper, demonstrate "aerodynamics." Save your money for something useful and substantial, like the Snap Circuits products.
Not What it's advertized to be!!!! . The other reviews were a lot nicer than I would like to be, but I'll keep it clean. This is one of the biggest rip-offs I've come across in a long time. The parts are cheap and the box was missing numerous parts.
I'm also an engineer, civil as was one of the other reviewers. I was hoping that my 6 year old grandson would gain some useful engineering concepts and we would have fun working on the experiments together. We'll, no one above the age of 4 would like anything about this product.

Missing pieces!! . My son is 6 years old and absolutely loves the experiments but we are missing several pieces to the projects. This is very disappointing!!
