Smartivity DIY Robotic Mechanical Hand STEM Toy for Kids 8-14 Years Old | Parents Choice Award Winner I Birthday Gift for Kids | Engineering Kit for 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 Years Old Boys & Girls

This kit was amazing! My son is obsessed with animatronics and this kit was perfect for him. Great quality and you can actually play with it once built. He had no trouble putting it all together on his own, and it works perfect! And now I get to see a wooden middle finger on a daily basis. 10/10 recommend.

My 11 year old son loved this! He could not wait to dig in, and he stayed at it and within an hour or so he had it built and loves playing with it. It was something he could do by himself with the directions. I did not help him at all. It was a great gift. My 7 year old daughter got into the action as well. In fact, he had to take it with him to show his friends. If your son or daughter loves to build things, this is the best!

This youth DIY mechanical hand was both challenging and fun to build, making it a great project for kids who love STEM activities. The build really gets them thinking about how things work, from mechanics to movement, while still being enjoyable and hands-on. One of the best parts is that it comes with blocks to practice picking things up, which adds an extra layer of fun and learning once the build is complete. It kept my child engaged, encouraged problem-solving, and felt rewarding to use after it was finished. A great choice for curious kids who enjoy building, engineering, and experimenting.

Super cool hand that was good to do with a 10 year old. Some parts are hard to assemble alone, given how tiny rubber bands are and many different parts, plus difficult to pop some parts out of the sheets they come in, but a great activity to build together that takes 1.5 - 2 hours. The instructions are easy to follow and the back of the instruction book has great educational lessons and activities! The 10 year old who got this couldn't wait to play, and it fit decently (her hands were a bit too small but it functioned)--she wore it for hours and loves playing with it.

My kids absolutely loved building the Smartivity DIY Robotic Mechanical Hand! The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and it kept them engaged for hours. I loved that it’s not just a toy—it’s educational, teaching basic STEM concepts while being fun to assemble. Once built, the hand moves surprisingly well, and my child enjoyed experimenting with how it works and even showing it off to friends. It’s sturdy and feels like a quality product that can handle some enthusiastic play. Definitely a great choice for kids who enjoy hands-on learning and building projects!

Really cool and fun toy with great step by step instructions. My 9 year old was able to put it together with very little help.

This was a huge hit for a 10 year old boy who loves putting together Legos. It took him about 2 hours to do by himself. He even thanked me for the gift!

Probably the best toy / engineering build kit I've ever bought. My 9 year old aspiring engineer son put it together by himself and hasn't stopped playing with it since. Very high quality for the price. Even I've tried it on and am amazed by how the parts work together. Makes me want to forgo overpriced crunch lab kits.
