Ever fantasized about having a vending machine in your room? This amazing engineering kit lets you build and tinker with your very own toy vending machine. First, follow the easy - to - understand step - by - step instructions to put the machine together. Then, test and adjust it until it works flawlessly. Load it up with the included soda - bottle gummy candies or any small candies or prizes you bring. Insert some coins and enjoy watching them get sorted, perform cool stunts as they slide down the tracks, dispense prizes, and end up in the coin bank at the base of the machine. This fantastic vending machine has four main interactive parts. Insert quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies into the top slot and turn a knob to sort the coins. The coins then fall into an interactive coin track area where they go down ramps, make jumps, and ring bells. Next, use a device to 'purchase' with just a button push. Finally, your prize pops out, and the coins fall into the bank, neatly sorted by denomination. The vending machine can be placed on a tabletop or hung on a wall. Use the small key to access the compartments for refilling prizes. As you build and play, explore lessons in physics, math, and mechanical engineering. Learn about gears, gravity, forces, motion, and collisions, and even try some simple money - related math. The kit includes soda - bottle gummy candies. Have a blast engineering your vending machine, making coins do tricks, and learning physics. It has an automatic coin - sorting bank, offers a pretend - play vending experience, and can stand on a table or hang on a wall. Build a toy vending machine that sorts coins, dispenses candy or small prizes, and serves as a coin bank. Experiment in the customizable coin track area to make coins do cool stunts. It's a fun, gamified way to learn engineering with a sweet reward. Refill it with your own treats for endless fun. Insert coins, turn the knob, make a selection, and get candy along with STEM learning! It's the perfect companion to the 2022 STEAM Toy of the Year finalist, Candy Claw Machine. Ages: 8+.
