🎡 Build. Experiment. Amaze. The gumball machine that’s a physics party in every roll!
The Thames & Kosmos Gumball Machine Maker Lab is a modular STEM kit featuring 55 plastic track pieces to build custom gumball machines. It includes 12 physics experiments teaching mechanical principles like force, momentum, and energy transfer through interactive stunts such as pulleys and pinball launchers. Designed for ages 6+, it comes with edible 16mm gumballs and has earned the Parents’ Choice Silver Award for combining hands-on learning with creative play.

Not suitable for kids
Not worth the price, reasons follow: 1- it has edible gum-balls which are soft and gets stuck in the machine. 2- gum-balls leave color on kids hands 3- assembly is not easy instructions are not clear 4- build quality of the machine is good but major elements i.e gum-balls are edible and soft.

Not great at all
It’s like a marble run gone horribly wrong ! Real low quality runners and plastic

As mentioned by other buyers, the gumballs get stuck in the top turning mechanism and they don't come out no matter what we did. We have to get the gumballs from the top opening manually by hand. Total disappointment! Build quality is flimsy. The domino effect doesn't work well. I should have trusted the reviews but my son really wanted it so I had no choice. Really not worth your money. Buy elsewhere.

As other reviewers noted, the parts are flimsy and poorly made. Things that should snap together don't do so well, or if they do they require a level of strength more than an 8-9 year old may possess. The mechanism to dispense gumballs is poorly designed and often gets stuck and damages the gumballs. Once completed, it definitely feels like one wrong move could cause it to be irreparably damaged due to cracking of plastic. The legs especially seem flimsy. The "STEM" parts of the guide book seem to be reaching a bit and are too densely written to be easily absorbed by the target audience without adult distillation. There are a number of "experiments" which attempt to introduce physics concepts and throw a lot of words around but they don't feel like they build on each other and each "experiment" is mechanically and visually underwhelming. That said - it was a reasonably good time to put together and build - as others noted it's just way too expensive for what it is. I'd say this would be a good value at $10 given the poor quality of the parts and learning materials.
