LEGO Gadgets (Klutz)

Product Information

Kids will fine-tune their problem-solving skills, analytical skills, planning skills, and other critical skills like math skills and fine-motor skills with this building kit. Compared to other sets, this one is the best stop motion animation kit for kids because it also includes modeling clay and a miniature set where your toys or characters can be placed.

These klik characters look like plastic armatures and they’re so easy to mold and work with. However, they’re not ideal for claymation since they’re not made of clay. It has one side that is blue and one that is green so you can drop the characters onto the small prop boxes – then you can make them look as if they’re flying. The best stop motion animation kit is the Stopmotion Explosion Complete HD Stop Motion Animation Kit because it’s suitable for all skill levels and contains a webcam and puppets too. It’s the better choice if you want your animations to look professional and well-made. Best stop motion kit for kids, for claymation & iPad: Zu3D Complete Animation Software Kit

LEGO Rube Goldberg Machines

Using LEGO Technic, this machine video admits that it sometimes takes multiple tries to get it right. I like the use of so many elements in this one. Established in 1993, Fun Learning is an independent children’s shop that began its life in the Bentall Centre, Kingston Upon Thames. Since then the ever-changing flow of inspiration from those that have worked, shopped and grown up with us has evolved Fun Learning into what you experience online today. Stopmotion Explosion has long been an industry favorite when it comes to stop motion animation kits because it offers HD quality and is very user-friendly.

This toy building kit comes in almost one thousand pieces. The appeal of this STEM toy is in the challenge it provides. Building this ship in a bottle toy will help kids develop advance analytical skills, as well as critical thinking and planning skills. If you have been around for a while, you know that we really, really like LEGO! (If you are new here, welcome!) And, that we are big fans of Rube Goldberg Machines. The armatures are small plastic figures that can be positioned and moved around to create the desired effect in your video. But if you need a camera, I recommend splurging a bit on a complete kit with an included webcam. That way you can get started with your stop motion animations right away.The Lego Technic Heavy-Duty Excavator is a great STEM Lego engineering kit for kids who love construction machinery. However, I included it because they talk about the steps of the machine and you can see it all laid out nicely. I’m pretty sure they must have been using this for a school project. I think the video will give kids (and everyone else!) a good overview of how the process works.
