Tinkering Labs has become a solid resource for getting STEMlearning projects for the kids to do. STEM learning is a vital thing for our young learners to have a strong handle on. When we were given the chance to review their Electric Motors Catalyst Kit I knew my kids would have a field day making all the different creations with it.

My Review
I was so thrilled to get the chance to give my kids something else to use to enhance their STEM skill sets. I didn’t realize it didn’t allow them the chance to use their phones. However, for me personally, that was more of a blessing rather than a disappointment.
This kit kept the kids entertained for hours for several days! They each made one of the items from the cards. They had fun challenging each other to see who to could make the best invention.
I’m not quite sure what each creation did, but they made one that drew on the paper in circles. They also attempted to make many other things as well. They have had this kit for a couple of weeks, and they still pull it out along with other things, like their LEGOs, household utensils, and other things to see what they can do to enhance a current project.
Normally kids lose all kinds of parts of kits like these, but with this particular kit, I can’t say this is an issue at all. They have kept meticulous track of every piece of it.
It’s safe to say that I’m quite impressed with this kit. It challenges my kids and gives them things to conquer. It
You don’t want to miss out on the fun this kit gives you. You can buy one by visiting Tinkering Labs.
Thank you so much for sharing this review. This kit looks like something my kids will enjoy playing with. Not to mention, they will be learning to make some cool inventions with it!
This is a neat kit. My kids played with it for a long time (several weeks.) My youngest son still pulls it out quite a bit too.
Thank you for stopping by and commenting. I hope to see you again soon.
