[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I might be guilty of these gifts. My kids are good at doing them on their own. Last year I hosted a 10th BD party where the kids make a Kiwi crate robot for age 8+ and I was surprised that more than half of the kids couldn’t do it without significant help. We even had our kids build the same kit in advance as a “test” to see what steps might be confusing. Only then did I realize other kids do not enjoy these kits or make them alone. [/quote] I have one daughter who loves the Kiwi crates and insists on doing them herself. She's always been very independent and engineering-minded. And another daughter who probably [i]could[/i] do them on her own, but is the kind of clingy kid who wants to do everything with mommy's help, which is sometimes very sweet and sometimes very frustrating.[/quote]
