Smartivity Hydraulic Crane, STEM DIY Fun Toy, Educational & Construction Based Activity Game Kit for Kids 6 to 14, Best Birthday Gift for Boys & Girls 6-8-10-12-14 Years Old, Made in India

Very nice product. My child is really happy and engaged with this product

The media could not be loaded. Got this for my 4-year-old son for Christmas. Assembly would take a couple of hours and kids may need help from elders for fixing some of the small pieces so make sure you have time in hand to sit with your child as they do the setup. The instruction booklet is clear enough and if you just follow it blindly you should not have any problem putting the pieces together. The cardboard is sturdy and doesn't get wet easily so a bit of spill and splash while getting the hydraulics working should be fine. I would suggest not dismantling the setup once done as repeated assembly and disassembly would increase the wear and tear on the delicate parts. Instead, just disconnect the control unit from the crane by removing the tubes, drain the water and keep the setup aside for next use. Overall, this is an engaging toy and could help in developing scientific and logical thinking in children.

The media could not be loaded. It’s very fun to build and is not hard but is not easy either, I finished it in 1 - 1 and half hour max. Great quality and is fun to play with. Gives you everything except cup to keep water in to fill syringes.

Great and fun to play with I enjoyed very much!

The parts aren't well made. I have tried a few other products like the rocket launcer and the kaleidoscope,they were excellent. But,with this particular model,too much of effort was required to put them together. The holes were not precise,the rubber bands were not of good quality(too loose). I am quite disappointed with this particular activity kit. I expected it to be really good in terms of craftsmanship. But,this kit is not up to the mark in terms of fittings. The parts do not fit well. Its a struggle to get it together. In terms of understanding, it might work,nonetheless, the finishing isn't great.I am not all that happy with the kit or my expectations were quite high considering their other kits were really really good.Update-the turn function fails to work.Only grab and lift work.Also,the cardboard seems to split up due to the struggle to fit in.

Smartivity products are well thought, entertaining, engaging and focussed on bringing home a single concept through one product i.e. one concept one product. The hydraulic crane not only explains how a crane works but also lets you build one thereby helping understand the power of pressure and how it is used in real life. The crane has to be build by following instructions, which improve communication skills as well as improves focus. Instruction manual is pretty good and the age guidance on Smartivity products always up to the mark so much so that any little challenges kids encounter can be overcome by reviewing the manual. A great product for 7-10 year olds.

Very good
