Product Overview

Engino's How Cars Work set gives kids 140 pieces and the tools to build up to 10 different car models. Every model goes together with snap-fit brick construction, so builders can take apart one design and rebuild the next without any extra tools. Part of the Engino "Discovering STEM" line focused on the Technology of Machines, it's built for kids ages 9 and up who are ready for builders with a bit more intermediate construction challenge.

  • 140 pieces build up to 10 car models
  • Snap-fit brick construction lets kids build, take apart, and rebuild different vehicles
  • Explores the basic technology behind how cars work, including motion and mechanical systems
  • Comes with instructions for all 10 builds, recommended for ages 9 and up
WARNING:
CHOKING HAZARD
Small parts. Not for children under 3 years.
