Comments about HearthSong Tin Can Robot:
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.
