Eureka! and Small Machines have joined forces to present a collection of do - it - yourself toys that the whole family can enjoy. Building these toys offers both kids and adults a chance to explore simple mechanics with cogs, levers, and cams. It's a great way to have a blast while building and creating together. The set includes three exciting options: the 'Marble Adventure' where marbles march up the stairs, the 'Lion Automata' with a roaring head and swishing tail, and the 'Cogs Creation' for endless fun. All kits come fully equipped with everything you need: a sheet of instructions, a bottle of glue, a squeeze bag of small parts, sheets of laser - cut components, and some unique extras for each kit like marbles or sections of timber. Please note that these toys are suitable for ages 5 - 105 but contain small components that pose a choking hazard. Keep small children supervised during play.


To use these DIY building kits, first, take out the instruction sheet and have a quick read through. This will give you a clear idea of how to assemble your toy. Start by sorting out the parts in the squeeze bag and on the sheets of laser - cut components. If you need to, use the glue provided to stick the parts together. For the Marble Adventure, place the marbles at the start and watch them roll up the stairs. With the Lion Automata, you'll see the head roar and the tail swish once it's assembled. The Cogs Creation will let you play around with different gear combinations. As for maintenance, keep the toys in a dry place to prevent the parts from warping. If any parts get dirty, you can gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth. Remember, these toys have small parts, so always keep them away from small children when they're not being supervised to avoid the risk of choking.
