Klutz Lego Gear Bots Science/STEM Activity Kit for 8-12 years

Good quality, durable material, easy to assemble, strong bond, fun yet educational for any age group, shipped fast, and reasonably priced.

Love this for kids that are curious about the inner workings of things. It’s fun and creative

I got the Klutz LEGO Gear Bots Kit for my boyfriend’s 11-year-old who’s super into STEM, and it was an instant hit. He dove right in, totally focused, and actually explained how the gears worked to me like a mini engineer. The kit is the perfect mix of learning and fun, building cool bots while understanding real mechanics. It’s hands-on, screen-free, and feels like playtime disguised as education (or maybe the other way around). The instructions are clear, and the projects are just challenging enough to keep kids engaged without feeling frustrated. If you’ve got a curious kid who loves building and figuring out how things work, this is a slam dunk. Bonus: it’s LEGO, so it automatically earns you “cool adult” status.

I bought this LEGO Gear Bots set for my 7-year-old. He was incredibly excited about the concept of building moving machines, and overall, it’s a very cool STEM-focused activity. The instructions are great. The included book is high quality and the steps are very easy for a child to follow, which really got my son engaged and excited right out of the box. The concept of using gears to create "bots" is a great way to introduce mechanical movement to kids. The biggest takeaway from our experience is that there are not enough pieces to build multiple bots at once. I was under the impression that we could build several characters, but you actually have to take your current bot apart to build the next one. In our house, we typically like to build a LEGO set and keep it together for display or play, so this was a bit of a letdown. If your child is like mine and doesn't enjoy disassembling their hard work, you might not get as much longevity out of this set as you’d hope. To really make this a 5-star product, LEGO/Klutz should have included enough components to have at least two models built simultaneously. Despite that one drawback, the price point seems very fair for the quality of the book and the specialized pieces you receive. We are satisfied with the purchase, but I wish I had known about the "one-at-a-time" requirement beforehand.

My 11 year old grandson loves building his creations with these gears. I got him some battery run motors for Christmas and he had a great time building cars that can be controlled with a remote.

Cute but I don't recommend for little kids. Parts are small if it comes apart.

Great for keeping kids busy. Difficult enough for a challenge and easy enough to make it fun.

We enjoyed this. All the pieces were located and we were able to build different things. A good education on building things and able to spend family time together.

Comme pour tout Lego le mode d’emploi de construction est remarquable: l’enfant se débrouille tout seul.

My son loves it

Fantastic addition to 6yo lego sets.

👍👍👍

It took about half a month for the product to arrive. The box was crushed and the book supplement was held in place with tape.（Different from original specifications.） I ordered a new one, but the tape that fixed was old, so it may have deteriorated over time or it may be a used item. The paper products inside showed no signs of use. My son liked it so I won't be returning it.
