UGears Harry Potter The Knight Bus Model
Details
Build something cool and learn a scientific concept at the same time! This kit comes with everything needed to assemble a working model of the Knight Bus from the Harry Potter films, teaching young scientists about the mechanisms used to propel and stop the motion of the bus, as well as how it can change width and speed. No glue or tools needed! Pre-cut wood pieces pop out easily and fit into place neatly but firmly. Total building time is roughly 6 hours.
Recommended for ages 14+
Why We Love It
Building toys are fantastic for providing lessons in cause and effect, spatial reasoning, problem solving and decision making, as well as fine motor skills! Building can be an open-ended activity, or it can be guided by an instruction manual - both styles of play offer value, as open-ended building encourages creativity while guided building teaches kids how to follow directions, physically replicate what they see, and troubleshoot issues that arise.
