Meccano - 6033323 - Construction Game - Dinosaurs 10 Models (Level 2 - Novice)

Product Information

Excellent bonding exercise. Because this toy must be built under the supervision of an adult, building it is a great way of connecting with your youngsters and enjoying a fun activity that will challenge you and bring you closer. No batteries required. For those who are nervous about their children playing with fully working motors, this kit will be a god send – no working parts, apart from those that they move themselves! A fun model that might better be described as a box of gears arranged in a fairly convoluted manner. When set in motion it induces an almost hypnotic effect on observers." Meccano has a cult following among toy hobbyists due to the time, patience, and effort it requires to construct the model kits. It is great for exercising the mind, not to mention the gratification that comes after you have completed a project.

All modern-day Meccano sets feature 4mm holes at ½ inch spacing so that every part is interchangeable. The best thing about Meccano nowadays is that it can essentially be used for small scale mechanical engineering projects. It teaches children research, engineering, problem-solving, and mathematical skills. Many kids who have grown up already still love to play with the sets that allow them to build simple to complex machinery.

Other considerations

Excellent inspiration for young minds. Having a kit that you build into just one thing is all well and good, but it is actually much better to have a kit that you can turn into just about anything you want to! Encourages learning. Despite being a fun exercise, playing with Meccano draws on engineering, science, maths and the arts too – this means it’s a great broadening experience for young minds.

First released in 1898, the original Meccano sets had metal and plastic pieces for plates, rods and gears used for building structures and machines. A man named Frank Hornby wanted to give curious kids in England the opportunity to explore the principles of mechanical engineering. With the use of bolts and metal nuts, he was able to provide young thinkers the tools to build functioning machines. Mechanics Made Easy” was the name given to the toy line that was meant to educate kids about mechanical engineering. The toy line featured levers, pulleys, and all sorts of simple yet useful mechanical components; they were made to help children build models that could function and replicate real machines utilised by people every day.The battery compartment takes four "C" batteries and require you to remove two bolts and nuts you spent so long contorting your fingers to install. I think that should be a redesign. Whether one is looking for high‐tech robotics programming or basic building sets, Meccano crafts all. Their constructional ideologies are fantastic and provide a great impact on kids. Their inspiring designs are also loved by the kids for decades.

A table setting for an intimate dinner for two, with candelabra and glasses of the perfect red. Photographs and construction details. Comes with a handy storage case. With so many parts, you may be worried about losing them behind the sofa – not with this kit however, as it comes with a sturdy storage box to keep them all safe.Endless building possibilities. With this kit, you can build just about anything you could possibly want to – either by following the instructions, or using one of the blueprints – or by using your imagination to create something entirely new!
