Thames & Kosmos Candy Vending Machine - Super Stunts and Tricks, Children Ages 8-12+

very cute and tons of fun i bought it as my sons santa gift and its perfect its 70 pieces but not hard to assemble

This candy vending machine is a great way to teach kids about STEM principles while also having fun. It comes with all the parts you need to build it yourself, and it also comes with gummy candy that is individually wrapped to place in the machine once you are done building. The color instructions are clear, big, and easy to follow, and if you get stuck, they have also uploaded a clear and concise youtube video showing you step-by-step how to build the contraption. It took us 30-40 minutes to build this vending machine. It was not hard at all and instructions were very clear to follow. Once it's built, kids can use it to dispense candy or other small items. It's a great way to teach them about cause and effect, as well as basic engineering principles. Once built, your kids can design endlessly different ways the coins can fall down the pegboard, so this toy can be played with for hours. One additional feature I liked, was the sorting of money. My kindergartener enjoyed learning the names of U.S. coins and predicting which ‘bucket’ they would fall into. Of course, the real draw for the kids is the candy! Overall, this is a great STEM toy that is both educational and fun.

This candy vending machine is for kids who would enjoy thinking and engineering things due to the number of steps and parts I’d recommend this for kids ages 12 and older I had a hard time getting it together myself so having a parent to help makes a difference the candy itself was good too as my daughter ate them all!

What a unique idea. I was excited to find this item for a gift to my niece who is on spectrum and has sensory issues. One of the other great things about this item is supporting a small business. This toy/game has received awards as well!! Highly recommended it for your little scientist. It does have lots of small pieces so it is for older children

Cool Looking Candy Machine/Obstacle Course/Bank. Plus you Build it yourself. I Really Can't Comment on the Quality, Value, etc. as this is a Christmas Gift for my Grandson. I Like that he Can Build it and I Like that it Separates the Coins by Denomination. It Looks to be a Fun Learning Toy. I Cannot Post a Photo as it Won't be Opened Until Christmas.

Fun to be together with my son. He did need some help, though. I would also recommend buying different candy than what vame with it.

Very cheaply made, for what it costs

Too much work to put together, comes apart easily. Too expensive for such poor quality.

This was one of the worst candy machines I ever had. after taking so long to put together it didn't even work properly. when the candy machine came I was so excited to get it to let the kids add small change for a piece of candy, but after a couple of uses. money started getting stuck and the coins didn't even roll down it's sad
