What customers say...

Make it together

"We've finished the lantern!  I helped the boys (7 and 5) by reading and interpreting most of the instructions, and the boys took turns following the instructions.

It took us about 45 minutes and the 7 year old was engaged the whole time.  We had heaps of fun :-)"  - Emily

Works first time

"Wow, this is really cool!" -

Sense of achievement

"Thanks SharperThinker - the kids were so excited getting these on Christmas day!  They loved making their torches"

- Kylie

Family experience

"Watching my son put his thinking cap on and making a flashlight that he could be proud to say he made himself was a real treat.

It created a neat family time experience as his younger brothers would pop by from time to time to see how he was doing."

- Jo

Lifelong learner

"My son recently build the blue tooth speaker. It is excellent quality. Thanks to the easy assembly and clear instructions provided it was a great success.

He was thrilled to successfully build it himself and I was thrilled to see how much learning was happening. It looks so stylish and uses all sustainable components. 5 stars!!!!"
