Fun STEM Toy brings new life to our old Legos
I'm a school teacher and I wanted my son to learn about some basic science while he plays with his legos at home. He loves legos and I've spent a ton of money on lego kits that he puts together and then is done with. When he got the circuit cubes for xmas some of the old lego kits came back out and he is trying new things like adding lights, making things spin and turn, and moving the vehicles. It has breathed new life into some of his old lego kits. Considering how expensive lego kits are these days I think the circuit cube set was pretty reasonably priced.I read another review that complained about the paper cut outs. It did take some time to cut them out but that was part of the fun. In the end the cut out wasn't really the point since we really just used the parts with our other Lego kits. When i was looking to buy I couldn't tell from the photos what was included so you can see in my attached photos the parts that come with it. The 3 main parts are the actual cubes and then there are some extra wires and basic parts to make a little car.Pros:Brings life into the old LegosTeaches some basic electrical scienceCool power cube tells you when you made a mistake and a shortQuality is goodCons:Cut out holes hard to cut with scissorsShort charging cable (uses a USB cable)My Son wants another set for 4-wheel drive!

Top Pick Basic STEM Learning Education Kit
My 7-year-old-son loves to create and Circuit Cubes Whacky Wheels gives him the freedom to build and explore with power, motion, and light. We worked on the beginning project together, as he needed help cutting out and assembling the paper templates for the Whacky Wheels vehicles.As soon as we built the chassis with the included parts, he was excited to add on to his projects with LEGO bricks which are compatible with these kits for bigger and better creations.Cutting out the paper templates was a time-consuming part of the process, however, we made copies of the Design Your Own templates included which are his favorite ways to design his own vehicles.The recommended ages for Circuit Cubes would be kids between 8-12 years of age, however with adult supervision slightly younger kids interested in STEM learning will gain basic experience while kids with more advanced knowledge are able to add on for more complicated projects. Definitely a worthwhile educational investment with unlimited creative builds.

The Gear broke in one day
I purchased this product and had it shipped to a friend in US. I live in INDIA and my friend got it for us from US. My son was thrilled when he receive it, soon his happiness turned into utter frustration as the gear broke when he tried to put it together for the second time. Also one wheel was totally loose and kept coming out.It is made of very bad quality plastic.It is good as an idea, though they should have given more thought to the material they are using.Now I am stuck with this toy without gear and I am surely not going to find the replacement for it in India.It is a total waste for me.

Amazing for Kids to play and learn
*I purchased this with a gift card I was sent as part of an influencer activation*I got this for my 5 year old daughter and it has been amazing! She is obsessed with building things and anything robotics. We have been playing with this every night since we got it and still haven't made everything it is capable of! This is a really fun toy but also wonderful to help kids learn more about robotics and motors.

Great concept but poor execution!
The instructions are terrible, the "lego-like" pieces don't stay together so the parts continuously fall apart, and the paper cut-out bodies are poorly designed. The only thing this kit teaches is how to manage your frustration!

Great Idea
I bought this for my 8 yr old son for his birthday. He had a lot of fun putting it together. I loved how interested he was putting it together and then watching it work. The connector wires come off easily which allowed him to continue exploring without the worry of the wires breaking. I cant wait to buy another set :)

Fun creative toy
These are such a fun and creative toy. It is easy to get started with right out of the box. The reason I gave 4 stars is the pieces are difficult to put together and take apart. They are not as user friendly as legos.

Great companion for a Lego enthusiast
My 8 yo grandson loves Legos and this was the perfect companion. He loves to make "inventions" and this expanded his ability to be creative and learn a little physics along the way.
