Creator STEM Building Toys
This Walking Wind Machine walks around leisurely, propelled naturally by the wind flowing through its turbines. Now you can build and enjoy your very own miniature version - a small Strandbeest that glides gracefully across surfaces without electricity or batteries.
This Machine is a kinetic, wind-propelled sculpture that was designed by physicist/artist Theo Jansen. While the original was designed for the beach, this do-it-yourself version will work equally well on any flat surface. It's perfect for kids or adults and isn't too hard so it won't take more than an afternoon to put together.
This solar race car experiment kit is a great STEM hands-on learning experience. The kit comes with everything you need to develop and apply the principles of basic physics, mechanics, and solar energy while also developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
The solar panel is the central part of solar power systems and is the most valuable. It converts the sun’s radiation into electricity and can drive a car using this free power.
The most commonly seen application of solar energy collection outside large-scale agriculture is solar water heating systems.
Build an infinity mirror that seems to go on forever! The optical illusion of light depth in this Infinity Mirror is created with some simple pieces including LED lighting and a mirror backing. Don’t expect to see your own reflection staring back at you though – instead be drawn into an endless tunnel of light. A great weekend project for young and old, and a fun piece to display at home.
When life gives you lemons… make a clock with our Lemon-powered clock toy! Construct this timber clock and watch as a lemon powers the LCD screen. This fully functional clock uses zinc and copper to draw power. To get more scientific, the lemon juice is an acidic electrolyte that is connected to a circuit with the zinc and copper.
Illustrated instructions will guide you through the process. If you want to get fancy, you can even paint your timber pieces in colours you love before you start. May we suggest, yellow?
Build your own planetarium and rotate the constellation plate until it matches the date and time. Have the direction you are facing (North, South, East or West) pointed towards you, then use the chart to find out which constellations you can see in the sky. Keep track of the constellations in the night sky in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres simply by switching out the constellation plates.
Kaleido-Craft is a fun and educational craft kit that combines the excitement of crafting with the wonder of science. With Kaleido-Craft, children can learn about colour, light, symmetry, and patterns while creating their very own kaleidoscope.
Looking for an exciting and educational activity for your child? Our wooden create your own Ninja robot kit is the perfect choice! With this kit, your child can assemble their very own robotic ninja using durable wooden pieces and no need for either screws or bolts. Not only is this kit fun to put together, but it also teaches children valuable skills in engineering and problem-solving.
Build your own hand-held working metal detector and go hunting for hidden metal with this kit! 19 timber and electronic pieces join together with no glue required. All you will need to add is batteries. Once ready to go, it will emit a noise when it is near any metals. Perfect present for budding treasure hunters or engineers!
The Scribblebot uses vibration and spin, generated by its motor to create works of art. Adjust the angle and height of the robot’s coloured pens and watch it work. Spirograph is a geometric drawing device that produces mathematical roulette curves technically known as hypotrochoids and epitrochoids. A hypotrochoid is a roulette traced by a point attached to a circle of radius rolling around the inside of a fixed circle of radius, where the point is a distance from the centre of the interior circle.
