When I was a kid I loved those big candy claw machine games you’d find in places like bowling alleys or pizza joints. They were especially fun if they were the ones you got to play until you won. Now you can get that same fun experience at home with the Candy Claw Machine from Thames & Kosmos!
Not only do you you get the fun of playing the game, you also get the joy of building it yourself! Build your own working model of this classic claw machine with this fun kit which features gears, levers, cranks, hydraulics and more that work together to pick up, move, and drop the prizes. You can even experiment with 3 different claw shapes and using different gear ratios to speed up or power your claw. This STEM toy provides a gamified approach to engineering lessons with a sweet reward! The game is great for working on dexterity and hand-eye coordination too!
Hydraulic levers move the arm up and down, and open and close the claw. A spring-loaded trap door shoots the collected candy out at you if you are successful. Time yourself or your friends to make more of a game out of it. See if you can retrieve a specific item in a set amount of time for a fun challenge!
The kit comes with 6 lollipop as well as some decoy fake candy boxes or you can fill it with whatever small candies or toys you’d like. You can find out more about the Thames & Kosmos Candy Claw Machine which would make an excellent holiday gift at www.thamesandkosmos.com. You’ll also find a video what walks you through the full assembly process for those that are more visual.
