Requires 4 “AA” batteries, not included.

Customer Review: Great educational and fun!
It amazes me so much can be made from one box of items. Fun for all ages. We homeschool and my 12 and 7 yr old have a blast. Our 70 yr old aunt and 60 yr old grandma had a blast at Christmas with this toy. Of course, our 7 yr old had to show them “how it was done.” Wonderful. Bored, go make an alarm or laser.

Customer Review: More popular than Nintendo DS!
If your kids are “addicted” to video games, this might be close competition. My eight-year-old boy has created many “inventions” with this product, including a fan, an alarm, and playing “Happy Birthday” on the nearest radio (all in the first week of owning it). He says it rocks, is awesome and sweet. Is there more to say?
