What our testers said
“This will go on there like that.” – Girl aged 6
“You probably push it, oh no, you need to pull it back for it to work.” – Boy aged 7
What our experts think
The Junko Zoomer! and Water! kits engage children’s creativity, problem-solving and engineering skills whilst showing them that junk can be fun to recycle. Our testers loved this activity, working together to put the pieces together correctly and helping each other to understand how it worked. There was also much delight among the children when the vehicle worked in the water!
Construction toys like this are great for encouraging important science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) learning, as children learn step by step the processes for how to make the vehicle work. We also really like the opportunities for extending play – our testers used their storytelling skills as they created their own characters and adventures for their vehicle to add to the comic book story provided.
