Renaissance Kids Inventor Guide

I gave this to my 11 year old nephew (who loves making things) as a gift and he really liked it. Of course the first thing he did with it was shoot his big sister in the head, but no real harm done.
The fun of putting it together and the history lesson it inspired made this a great gift!

I put these together with my 10 year old grandson and we didn't have any difficulties at all. He had so much fun lobbing things all over the place. I would like to see if I can find more of these.

Great project for kids. The box says 12 and over, but if your kids do block this will be no problem. This was not hard for the creative under 12 child. Loved that each project came with it's own book, so multiple children can build at once. Included in the box was a book explaining about Newton's three laws and potential and kenetic energy. Amazing product that teaches science and allows children to be creative.

Wow! This was fun even for me as an adult! My son and I had a blast putting this together and testing it out. It resulted in hours of fun and I'm happy to see my son work with his hands and not on an ipad or video game. More toys like this should exist for kids so they can learn the basics of being a boy!

Pieces came out of their stock easily, and largely fit together easily. (My son handled everything, except asked me to fit 1 joint that was too tight -- even that wasn't bad; he just didn't want to force it & risk breaking something.)
No glue is required for assembly, except for the arrowhead.
The product copy, "Send projectiles up to 15 feet!" -- if anything -- is an understatement. 15 feet is average range, with many launches going further.
Biggest down check: "The kit comes with 1 arrow plus 6 paper targets." We'd rather have 6 arrows & 1 target. I'm going to try to use the scrap wood that the parts were cut from to try and fashion 1 or 2 additional arrows. (Glad we didn't glue the arrowhead!) All I have is hand tools, so wish me luck!
