Bought this for my 8-year-old daughter and she hasn’t put it down all weekend. She built most of it herself, then spent ages scooping up bits of cereal from the kitchen table with the bucket, shouting “look, Dad, no motor!” Fab little thing. I’ll admit I had a go too.

Got this for my grandson’s birthday. He grinned from ear to ear when the arm started to move. Brilliant.

Third kit I’ve ordered from here and it’s another good one. Sturdy enough, the syringes push smoothly and the arm moves just as it should. Only niggle is that it’s a touch smaller than the photos made me think, but the lad doesn’t mind one bit. Arrived quick too, postie had it on the doorstep in two days.

bought this for my grandson Alfie, who’s seven and obsessed with diggers. He built most of it himself with a bit of help from me, and then spent a good hour at the kitchen table making the bucket scoop up dried peas, grinning the whole time. Now he keeps asking me why the water makes the arm move, so I think it’s sparked something. Chuffed to bits.

Spot on. Clever little kit.
