Children can build a working swing ride with this educational building set. Each package contains 486 brightly coloured pieces including variously sized connectors and multiple styles of rods: short long straight and curved .Parts can be connected together to create constructions that actually move thanks to a battery-powered motor that uses two AA batteries.This engineering set can also be used for building two other rides - a boom ride and a Ferris wheel. Playing with this educational toy will unleash children's imaginative skills by letting them build amazing structures with their own two hands.This toy also promotes growth in STEAM (science technology engineering arts and math) subjects thanks to its complex and cognitive approach to entertainment. Not only does it offer kids a fun playtime session - it also helps develop their natural curiosity and creativity and lets them learn not only by thinking about concepts but through hands-on experience as well.This set can also be used in schools allowing students to find solutions and turn parts into whole constructions. An experiment guide walks children through the process of building the amusement park ride models. The manual contains complete details on the three inquiry-based engineering projects that are easy for kids to follow and implement.This STEAM toy is specially designed for children ages 8 and up. It is best used by one to three children at a time promoting camaraderie teamwork and social skills.
