Designed for kids 3 plus all of the toys in this line combine play, fun, and learning with real STEM-related tools.
Priced really nicely for gifting($15-$40), this line includes 4 different toys that each come with 3 working Stem tools.
Submarine Toy Water Vehicle($14.97)
The Submarine includes three tools: an underwater viewer, a water suction & sprayer, and a sifting net. Kids can look beneath the waves with the underwater viewer. Use the water sprayer to suction water and spray it out for pure water play fun. And kids can collect and examine all the treasures they find with the sifting net.
Space Rover($19.97)
The Space Rover includes three tools: 3x microscope, magnetic crane, and extending grabber. The included magnetic canister can be moved with the crane or extending grabber. Leaves or flowers can be placed onto the specimen tray for a detailed inspection with the 3x magnifying microscope.
Safari SUV($33)
The Safari SUV includes three detachable tools: binoculars, a flashlight and a compass. The spinning wheels detach from the Safari SUV to become binoculars with 3x magnification. The Safari SUV’s headlights become a working flashlight. And the Safari SUV’s back tire is a true north compass.
Metal Detector Mining Truck($40)
The Metal Detector Mining Truck is the biggest toy in the set. It transforms into four real working tools: a metal detector, rock tumbler, water tank, and shovels. Kids can use the detachable metal detector to discover hidden items. Then uncover what you have found by using the water tank to wash away dirt and dust. Place these mysterious items into the rock tumbler and give them a spin to see if you have discovered crystals, gems or even gold! Two shovels are included to help you dig deeper and expand your excavation site, or to start the fun all over again somewhere new.
