Use more than 75 precut cardboard designs to make an infinite variety of steampunk-inspired inventions—no glue or scissors required! In this box kit, machinery and steampunk combine for a truly unique construction and building experience—just follow step-by-step instructions to create 16 cog machines. Or let your imagination go, and have fun inventing your own contraptions by combining the colorful patterns composed of motley objects strewn with nuts, bolts, pistons, and more. All inspired by the fantastic steampunk universe inspired French novelist Jules Verne, sometimes referred to as the “Father of Science Fiction.” Perfect for developing dexterity, reasoning abilities, and spatial visualization skills in young builders, inventors, mechanical engineers, and artists, and a key set to have on hand for all STEM curriculums. Instructions: Carefully detach all the pieces from the 10 cardboard inserts inside the box. To begin building the models presented in the guidebook, gather the number of pieces needed for the model of your choice and organize them by size. Then assemble the pieces step by step, following the diagram shown on the page.
