User questions & answers

Question:	never bought, i want to make sure i understand this correctly there is 35 models but you cant make all 35 at once you have take one about to make anot
Answer:	Hi Maigan, Thank you for your question and I want to apologize for taking so long to get back to you. I have been waiting for the manufacturer to get back to me and I have just heard from them. The unit is set up to make a lot of models at the same time but the amount of models that you can build at one time is based on the design. Some of the designs will take more parts and time to build so if the complex designs are built you will not be able to have 35 models at the same time. However if a simpler design is built, you will be able to have 35 models at the same time. The manufacturer went on to say that the customers can use their imagination to build quite a few design models once they have gained experience with the designs provided. I hope this information helps and if you decide to make the purchase I hope you enjoy it for years to come. Thanks again and I hope you have a good weekend coming up.
Question:	Is there an instruction manual
Answer:	Generally toys come with instruction manuals...without opening the brand new box its hard to say for sure but I'm very confident it would include such a manual
Question:	Would this be good for a 6 year old
Answer:	I wouldn't recommend this box for small fingers. I got this box of K'Nex for my 6 year old nephew because he enjoys creating things with standard Legos and because I remember K'Nex being fairly easy to use, BUT my nephew didn't take to these. When I tried building something with them, I found that it irritated my fingers and it wasn't as easy as I remembered. These K'Nex are somewhat different from what I used 15 years ago: I remember being able to make a vehicle much quicker (with these, you need to put some sort of end caps on the sticks or the tires slide off). Also, this building set comes with "mini" K'Nex which are difficult even for adults to pry apart after they're connected.
Question:	Is age 12 too old for this toy
Answer:	Definitely not. There is no real age limit for this toy as it would be dependent on the creativity and patience level of each individual child (or adult :*} ).

User questions & answers

Question:	Can we take them apart and rebuild
Answer:	That's is a great question - I have tested one of them to determine the pull-apart weight (the amount of static weight that it takes to separate the magnets) They separate with just over 21 ounces (or 595 grams) - that is the static or sitting measurement - I have had a customer purchase more than one for a heavy omega necklace
Question:	Can you build more than one vehicle at a time
Answer:	I am not sure. I do not have any pearls.
Question:	How long does it take to complete a model
Answer:	This is really tiny. Less than half an inch long. It was way smaller than I thought it was going to be. I thought the clasp part of it was going to be the standard size, but it's much smaller, its like a tiny version of a regular clasp. If you're looking for something really small and dainty, this is it. But if you want something substantial, get something else. It really is only for light necklaces.
Question:	Can 2 children play with this at the same time? A 5 yrs old one and an 8 yrs old one
Answer:	Thank you for your interest in our bling ball marker necklace. No, this item is not lead and nickel free. - The Giggle Golf Team

Why choose a Vatos STEM toy?

STEM is an education curriculum that focuses heavily on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. Early implementation of STEM education for students can encourage kids to come up with their own creative solutions to problems.

Childhood is a crucial stage in building a lifelong learning mindset. However, most kids are not exposed to STEM training until they get older, by that time it may be too late for them to learn the basic skills to grasp more complex ideas later.

STEM toys are aiming to bridge the gap and encourage kids to give STEM a try. A good STEM toy could make STEM look far more appealing to kids, which is the original intention of Vatos ---- to inspire your kids with toys.

Suitable for Kids Between 5-12 Years Old

Different building models have different degrees of difficulty. Children can choose models that match their abilities for assembly. What’s more, they could also play together with their friends or sisters/brothers as long as they are in such wide age range.

ATTENTION: This product contains small components. Please keep it out of the reach of the children under 3 years old in case of ingestion. Children over 5 years old should be accompanied and supervised by their parents while playing. Please do not put any part into your mouth under any circumstances.
