Smartivity Hydraulic Crane, STEM DIY Fun Toy, Educational & Construction Based Activity Game Kit for Kids 6 to 14, Best Birthday Gift for Boys & Girls 6-8-10-12-14 Years Old, Made in India

Smartivity products are well thought, entertaining, engaging and focussed on bringing home a single concept through one product i.e. one concept one product. The hydraulic crane not only explains how a crane works but also lets you build one thereby helping understand the power of pressure and how it is used in real life. The crane has to be build by following instructions, which improve communication skills as well as improves focus. Instruction manual is pretty good and the age guidance on Smartivity products always up to the mark so much so that any little challenges kids encounter can be overcome by reviewing the manual. A great product for 7-10 year olds.

The media could not be loaded. Got this for my 4-year-old son for Christmas. Assembly would take a couple of hours and kids may need help from elders for fixing some of the small pieces so make sure you have time in hand to sit with your child as they do the setup. The instruction booklet is clear enough and if you just follow it blindly you should not have any problem putting the pieces together. The cardboard is sturdy and doesn't get wet easily so a bit of spill and splash while getting the hydraulics working should be fine. I would suggest not dismantling the setup once done as repeated assembly and disassembly would increase the wear and tear on the delicate parts. Instead, just disconnect the control unit from the crane by removing the tubes, drain the water and keep the setup aside for next use. Overall, this is an engaging toy and could help in developing scientific and logical thinking in children.

The media could not be loaded. It’s very fun to build and is not hard but is not easy either, I finished it in 1 - 1 and half hour max. Great quality and is fun to play with. Gives you everything except cup to keep water in to fill syringes.

Very good. Ease to assemb value for money

The concept is really nice. However, the cardboard material doesn’t help. My son built it after 3 hours and then while he was trying to move the crane, the water leaked from the syringe pump and spilled on the cardboard material. Kids are prone to making such errors. And the toy literally became useless after that very moment.He got extremely upset for his all resorts went down the drain due to syringe pump leakage. We couldn’t fix the toy because the cardboard softened and its layers all propped out.

Very nice product , it is easy to build , it does not need any outer material , everything comes with it , it has meet my expectations.

This toy keeps your kid engaged to build the toy. Good quality cardboards. when using multiple times it can split and you need to fix it.Using the syringes at times it is difficult to control the toy. the water should be filled properly in the syringe and the tubes to effectively control the toy.

My 6 year old son loves Smartivity products … and suddenly now he wants to become a scientist after playing with these games … these games have also made him experiment with various things at home …We have ordered a carton full of Smartivity games … for him and to gift all his friends… making life much more easier by not having to select gifts every weekend for bday parties ..And best part is it’s Unisex … no hassle of answering the shopkeeper questions like “ gift for a girl or boy? What age ? Etc”…Highly recommended and it’s definitely a value for money … and it’s completely made in India :)
