KiwiCo Domino Machine Wooden Set - 100 Dominoes and Wood Domino Robot for Ages 9+

My 7 year old and I built this in under an hour. It works flawlessly! Kiddo needed help with the finer details of the machine building process, but he has a limb difference so struggled to put on the rubber washers that bind the pieces together with only one functioning hand. Otherwise the build was really easy and fun. It’s been working perfectly for two weeks now and the kids have been having a blast setting up dominos and knocking them down.

We got this for my son’s 9th birthday. He has really loved it. He was able to assemble it almost completely independently. This is a huge plus because sometimes these type of toys require a ton of adult assistance and then your kid ends up just watching you try to solve the Rubik’s cube of instructions. The instructions are clear and simple to understand and the best part is once’s built they actually get to play with it! It works great and he has pulled it out multiple days in a row to set up dominos. Totally recommend!

I got this for my son for Christmas a few years ago, and he STILL loves it!

My kids had been saying the commercials for this on Youtube. They love Mark Rober and we’re excited to have something than he had a hand in. They had a great time building this and the instructions were pretty decent. The design is cool. The the product is cute. However, the amount of dominoes wasn’t nearly enough. We ordered a big set separately and now have enough to do some pretty decent domino runs in our living room. It was fun at first to have “Dom” set up the dominoes in big runs, but after a short time, he stopped going in a straight line. Then a few pieces came off of him, and the kids didn’t really care enough to fix him. They still play with the domino set every so often, though and don’t really mind setting them up by hand. So overall, I would say that this is pretty typical of a lot of STEM kits: a fun concept, enjoyable to build, exciting to use, and then the excitement wanes…. Because it was pretty affordable, I still feel like it was an ok purchase and a fun gift to give. I bought a second one for a nephew.

Awesome project to do with you kids. We love kiwi and have enjoyed years of interesting and thoughtful activities with their kiwi boxes!
