While our grandsons have not received the kits yet we think they are a great gift because they are always "constructing" tents, ramps, etc. with whatever is around and this kit seemed like a next step. This is also a gift that will be a win-win for the boys and their parents because the boys can create on their own or they can make a family project (we think our son will have fun with it too) and the best part is there are no batteries to deal with!
I bought this as a gift for a three year old. They loved it and immediately started looking for items for the sails and decorations. Once done, we were looking again both inside and out for more decoration materials. It was a lot of fun watching.them play with the boat and it's very seaworthy!
This is a high quality, unique gift and my nephew ADORES it! He is a fan of building his own things, and something that MOVES, yeah! Couldn't more highly recommend this gift for a child who loves to work with their hands and see the benefit of their efforts right away! Buy it now, you won't be disappointed.
