Lots of fun for me and my son!

My six year old son had so much fun with this Thames & Kosmos Machine Maker Gumball machine! Actually all he needed to hear was gumballs...but the fun delivery system was irresistble for him. I even used it as reinforcement for doing some chores like cleaning his bedroom and the playroom so win-win! I really liked that putting together the different gum ball runs was a fun activity for us to do together and i like any kind of activity that keeps him away from the tv and his ipad. There are lots of different ways to configure it to do stunts and tricks to get the gumball and hes learning patience and sequencing and folllowing directions while were constructing the different runs and learning about simple machines. He really loved this gumball machine and liked sharing it with his friends. It was a great activity and a fun toy at the same time!

Can handle different candies.

We purchased malted milk balls (whoppers) to put in instead of gum. Kids do some chores for coins, then they can snack. The more chores, the more coins and the more snacks. The changing of shoots to roll out the candy helps keeping it different.
