Skillmatics STEM Building Toy : Buildables Sketching Machine | Gifts for Ages 8 and Up | Educational & Construction Activity Kit

My niece loves to draw so I bought her the Sketching Machine for her birthday and she was thrilled! The thought of building her own machine that she could use to create art really fascinated her. She was quick to build it with ease and got straight to sketching. Personally, I really liked that there was a learning curve for creating good sketches as it kept her engaged for a long time and this way she was really able to understand and appreciate the mechanisms and workings of the machine.

Product quality is good. Keeps the kids busy for a few hours

Just got done with building Skillmatics Buildables - Sketching Machine and my little girl already loves it. One of the best father-daughter moments we’ve had building this amazing piece of machinery. It’s so easy to make, my 9 year enjoyed every moment of building it. There is a video tutorial available, but, we used the instruction manual which came in the box, which is just as easy. The most fascinating thing which children find is, it doesn’t need any batteries. It comes with a small piece of sand paper to smoothen the cogs for easy movement. Who’d have given so much attention to detail!!! The only thing is it takes some practice to get used to. It sure keeps the kids engaged when they're trying to learn how to do it! But, it’s a fun machine anyway!!! 5 stars!

First attempt was damaged product and I Ordered with gift pack and its come without gift pack 2nd time also and u guys charge 30rs for gift pack so its bad experience.. and products size too small as if we need to draw any think in A4 size paper so that's not possible..

The concept is interesting. But the choice of materials, their fit and finish lack finesse. The wood parts are laser cut but not easy to remove from the main sheet. Pros: Good concept and good videos to build and support Cons : 1. Quality of materials is not good and probably unsafe for kids 2. Uses some ordinary rubber bands for all the fixtures - can cause injury to kids 3. The parts are laser cut on a wood ply board. But they are not easy to remove for kids and sometimes break from the main board with splinters - can certainly cause injuries 4. You need to sign up on the skillmatics website to access the build video 5. One you assemble the whole thing its wobbly and not suitable/useable by kids without an adult trying to hold the structure in place. 6. Even the pen or sketch pen is held in place by some loose ill fitting rubberband and keeps lifting off the paper during movement In total it's a waste of money and not a useable STEM project for kids. It's also not safe is the worst part.

Got my nephew the Skillmatics Buildables- Sketching Machine. This one does work both the sides of his brain rather well. I let him build it himself as he is rather good at it. The building part required him to give it his best, with me chipping in, whenever needed. The manual describes the process very well for kids to understand. Once that was done, he aced the sketching part with me and his friends. The controllers are easy to use and super fun for the kids who are only used to their device screens. I myself had a great time doing the maze. Overall, definitely recommend this unique game and I intend to have a go at the others in the series as well. Good job Skillmatics!

Fun way to learn! Coordinate systems is a tricky subject with kids but it’s been simplified and explained well. There are games and activities that the kid can do after building so they better understand the scientific concepts how the machine works and that’s great. Recommended buy.

awesome
