    Well, I opened it before Christmas

    I bought this because I wanted it and I planned to bust it out at Christmas. But then we bought a new bed frame and new car mats (See also: lots of cardboard).

    And the car mats came in an amazing box MEANT to be turned into a car.

    So then I had to open the tool kit. And maybe this is a gift for me, because I enjoy making things with my kids and then being left alone while they play with them.

    The tools are easy for the 6 year old to use, though she needs to learn the saw motion.

    My 4 year old needs help holding the tools and improving her grip.

    These kid friendly tools are great at showing them how to saw and hold a screw driver in a way that yields results.

    The little screw keys are great when they get frustrated with the tools.

    I wish the spinners came with this kit (I only started getting emailed about them after I purchased this kit and lets be real - shipping's a slap in the face.)

    I also think these kits should come with the little bag - side bar: get one, you won't regret keeping all the screws together.

    Overall, yes, my friends are hearing all about how much I love this kit. I think it would be nice if these awesome little companies weren't trying to drive me for broke (there's no way the components cost even half of what they're charging) but I'm going to get my money's worth.

    Great Family Fun!

    Got the kit for my daughters and they love it and so do I! Great for making Barbie houses and vehicles.

    The first thing we made together was a rocket ship and launching pad.
