I wanted to introduce my almost 4 year old to rube goldberg machines to teach her science concepts early on. On a Saturday afternoon, my kids and I broke out the Klutz: Lego Gadgets kit, which gives kids everything they need to build their own machines (and early engineering skills). From the practical to the intriguing, to the flat-out ridiculous, these projects encourage children to explore the possibilities hidden in their LEGO collection.

Regardless of my family’s love of Lego, I liked that the kit includes everything you need — even if you don’t have any other Lego bricks in your house. He was a little disappointed that some of the basic reactions could not be completed without using other bricks not included.
