Butterfly EduFields ElectroPlay 100+ Science Projects Kit for Kids Ages 8 10 12 Years Boys Girls | 100+ DIY Science Experiment for Kids | Educational Engineering Toys Best Birthday Gift idea

Massive rubber bands hurt our kids fingers twice. Badly written translated instructions in poor black and white print. Bow is too tough to pull and catapult too strong for a young child

Was expecting a cheaper quality for the price but it came good and assembled nicely. Very age appropriate

Dope

Brilliant one, suitable for beginners, more activity can be added as it becomes boring very quickly.

My Grandson who is 10 loved it.

I bought this for my 9-year-old niece, who usually loses interest in toys after the first day, and this one has been a total win. The kit comes with all the parts neatly designed, packaged, and labeled, which meant we could jump straight in without a long “where does this go?” phase. The instructions are surprisingly clear for a kids’ science kit—each project has step-by-step visuals and explanations, so kids can follow along with minimal adult help, but there’s enough detail for parents to explain the “why” behind what’s happening. We started with the motor boat build, and she was thrilled to see it actually move across a tub of water. Later, we tried the fan car, which turned into a mini-lesson about friction and battery power. My personal favorite was the hand-crank generator—she loved that she could power the little light without batteries, and it led to questions about renewable energy that we ended up Googling together. Durability is better than expected. The wood pieces fit snugly and didn’t splinter, and the motor components feel solid. We’ve disassembled and re-built a couple of the projects without any wear showing. I also like that it’s reusable—once kids understand the basics, they can mix and match parts to invent their own contraptions. This isn’t just “make it once and put it on a shelf.” It’s the kind of kit that encourages curiosity every time it comes out of the box. If you want a gift that blends fun play with genuine learning—and will still be in use weeks later—this one’s worth every penny.

I ordered these kits for my grandchildren. I knew it was something they would enjoy doing, especially with me and PawPaw. My grandchildren are 3, 5 and 7 years old; the two oldest both attend school. My 5-year-old granddaughter attends a STEM school; while her brother attends a charter school. Each child had their own kit and my youngest grandson let his PawPaw share his kit. I worried they wouldn’t stay focused on the task at hand, and would want to go watch TV, play with the remote control cars, or my granddaughter would want to go change to play dress-up. My grandchildren have blended families. Mom and her fiancee have the two oldest for one week, they have their little brother (3 years) there. Dad and his girlfriend get them the next week, and they have a son & daughter together. The four do a remarkable job co-parenting, and I am grateful how mature they have all acted throughout everything. My daughter has insisted they not have screens, and wants the kids to enjoy their childhood, as children; both dad's have game systems at home but they only play around on them when the kids are in bed, or not home. While there are iPads in the homes, the kids do not have access to them. In my home, I buy a lot of educational games and toys; for holidays and birthdays, I get them clothing and educational toys and games, along with toys they enjoy: my granddaughter is very girly; her favorite things are playing dress-up, even has her own little child's clothing rack with beautiful princess dresses. The boys' love remote control cars, race tracks, books to help them learn to read and other learning games; there's also astronaut, policeman, fireman, and doctor dress-up outfits for the, There's also astronaut, doctor and other costumes. None of my grandchildren have iPads, game systems, and we monitor the time on TV; we prefer to have them play, whether with toys, play one of the many educational games they have, play outside, or do something like we were doing. This was our first time with any of the STEM kits. I opened one kit for myself, so I could put it together as I read each step aloud, which really helped both of them. Since I was doing each step with them, the couple of times they asked for my help, I would do the step over with “my kit,” so they could watch how it was done. We all had so much fun with the kits. My husband was just as excited as the kids; he enjoys anything mechanical, and has been waiting since we learned we would be grandparents of a time when he could teach our grandkids how to put things together. I highly recommend this or any of the STEM kits, definitely pay attention to the age ranges before ordering.
