UberDragon - 71 piece set Part of the Animal Kingdom Series, this kit is a perfect example of why the ÜberStix™ build system is so special. Once built, the dragon's body is moveable and you can make him slither! The animals are much more than stationary models; they also teach youngsters about the workings of movable joints, and when it's appropriate to engineer a creation with movable, as opposed to non-movable, connections. Kids can build a host of other models with these kits as well, including a MiniPult that launches small objects. As a bonus, the kits contain a one-hour simple-machines lesson plan. Ever Wished All Your Child's Construction Kits Could Work Together? ÜberStix™ are unique and so exceedingly versatile that they nearly defy description. The idea for ÜberStix™ came when a dad determined that the play value of a construction set should not end with the initial creation. Not only did this dad want a kit that built projects that flew, floated, and otherwise moved, but he also wanted one that eliminated the creative restrictions that are inherent in many other construction toys. Thus ÜberStix™ were engineered to be used with all major build systems such as Lego®, K'NEX®, Erector®, Zoobs® and Zome®. Try Adding Everyday Items Too Every ÜberStix™ collection can also be used freestyle with everyday items such as plastic bottles for floatation devices and spoons for catapults. ÜberStix™'s open-ended, resourceful design allows for inexhaustible creativity and the ability for your children to fashion bigger models with what they already have. Animals That Really Move ÜberStix™'s Animal Kingdom Series is a splendid introduction to the world of ÜberStix™. Not only does each inexpensive set build working models of movable joints so that wings flap and legs leap or creep, but also the detailed booklet included shows a host of different ways the ÜberStix™ can be connected. There are even hints on how to use a pair of nail clippers to modify the ÜberStix™ pieces. An Essential Tool For Your Young Engineer If you are the parent of many children, you have already discovered that, while every child benefits from developing spatial and problem-solving skills via construction, there are some exceptional children who were designed by our Creator to see the engineering connections that many of us will never see. As parents, one of the most sensible things we can do for children like this is to equip them with a variety of construction elements and untold hours to create. These children who delight in construction and experimenting with designs are the ones for whom ÜberStix™ was especially created.   Features 71 pieces 40-Page Basics Book Teach about simple-machines!
