I just come home with this>>>>

The idea is to get the grandchild interested in mechanical things. The plan is to wait a little and then we will build it together.
It is only to congratulate, the guy will have the best teacher who will teach to increase understanding of how things work.

Will truly open up his mind. I’m grateful my son is mechanical minded. And it’s this type of exposure that’s critical at an early age.

That is a GREAT way to at least try. When I used Lego for my son, I ended up finishing the projects. He is 15 now and still not interested. Hey, I tried!

We should always try with what we ourselves never got, since if it doesn't work then we move on. His father wants him to start with sports
so we have to see where it ends. The important thing is that it happens easily and not under compulsion, it usually does not get well.

Cool Idea!

The more things you try or are introduced to in your youth, the more you begin to find out what you like and are good at, helping you understand your special gifts to help you find your path in life.

Looks great, another great series from Lego is the speed champions sets. I’ve built 12 of the cars with my son and he loves them.
