Comments about HearthSong Tin Can Robot:
My son really enjoyed putting this together and watching it stroll across the kitchen table. We love how it was just enough of a challenge to put it together.

I gave it to my husband for him and my 6 yr old boy to have a project together, it was as expected: fun anticipation, everything included except the can, easy instructions, when finished, it worked and made them laugh.

About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children, Stay At Home Parent
This was a gift to my engineer husband for his birthday with the intent that he could put it together with our 8-yr old son. They had fun putting it together and its fun to watch when its running. Its not appropriate for under 5 or 6 to play with depending on your child - somewhat delicate.

About Me Grandparent
My 10 year old grandson likes action toys. This was perfect for him. The arms are awkward, but other than that he liked it.
