Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My husband and I both have degrees in the sciences (Chemistry/Computer Science) so I was thrilled to find that Amazon had a Stem Club. But what a disappointment. The first toy that came was a Automobile Engineering kit, with a cute box and a story book. However, the pictures in the story book don't look anything like what you can build and my son was so frustrated (and the story itself was not well written). And while the pieces were bright, the kit was hard to put together, the pictures in the instruction book were hard to follow, the colors didn't match the actual pieces and we all got a bit frustrated with pieces that were the same color but some had odd holes on them and others didn't. For a 3 - 4 year old this was way too hard to navigate, and an older child would find the story line juvenile. The next kit we got had a drill, colored screws and a white tray with holes on it. This was somewhat better, as pattern cards were included. Unfortunately, wasn't very interesting. The third kit was a cheaply executed maze game that you put together. This club doesn't seem to be actually curated. I think it is more likely Amazon getting a premium from some lesser known "toy" vendors to include their products. Very disappointed, canceled after third box.
