I was bummed because that isn't science and engineering (which my kid loves!) and seems more arts and crafts (which is what the DOODLE CRATE is marketed as). I just got the shipping notice for DS3 and his first tinker crate is also the spin art, which he will hate.
I had assumed Spin art was for Dec so we'd get different projects but am wondering if every first tinker crate is spin art? If that's the case I'm wondering what the nxt two in the progression will be. At this point I will have to get something else for his bday because he will hate this since it isn't really science. (Yes I know it's building the machine, I googled videos of it. Still not something he will enjoy because he hates arts and crafts. )
I have not ordered TinkerCrate, but i had given that as an idea for my mom to get for DS2 for the previous Christmas. My mom likes to do thorough checks of product reviews, and she told me that the reviews she found for the Kiwi crates weren't great (things not being science-y enough). So she got DS2 a yearlong subscription to Amazon's science boxes instead (I think it was a box every other month). She was happy with it, and DS2 loved the items he received. There were snap circuits, some good ThinkFun game/sets, some game/ actvites for coding, robotics, etc. Spin art would NOT fall under science in my book!
