Made the perfect gift for my son's back deck.

Super fun gift
My 8 year old is able to do every aspect of this by himself and has had the best time creating. I wish the software was Mac friendly but thankfully we had an old PC to use. Great starter for a kid who is interested in coding and creating video games. Would definitely recommend for anyone 8 and up!

Such a cute idea!
I purchased the tambourine for my 8 year old grandson. He is very musical. He plays the guitar and has a ukulele already so I thought the tambourine would be fun to build and own and to build. It's for Christmas. My only observation...the package left something to be desired as some of the pieces had come out of the tambourine package. Other than that it looks doable and fun for an 8 year old. And it is an uncommon gift!! Thanks!
