Behind the design
“This project started out as a game idea to learn about piggy banks. It was so much fun, though, that we decided to build a whole crate around it instead!”

These actually work. I like the disk launchers and the book explaining the science behind it was very interesting. My only issue is that it is so easy to lose the small disks. A larger object such as a ball would have been more preferable, I hope my boys learned something. Overall a good product that works well.

My 6 yr old son was able to assemble by himself and spent hours playing with this one. Probably his favorite one yet!

My son always looks forward to his crate every month and this one did not dissapoint! He was so excited that he could create his own games and even made up rule books for them!

It was a great combination of educational values and elements of fun and creativity. Building the disk launcher was a a great mind exercise and creating the clay obstacle and other games really helped her tap into her creative and innovative side.

The best part about this crate was that my son could continue to play and create more and more games. It was not just a one and done toy!

I consider it a mom-win when I can find a project like this disk launchers crate to keep my son away from video games for so long! Each project was very educational and exciting!
