Materials are transparent to allow for easy viewing of water flow. The Build a Waterway STEM Kit builds on children's natural curiosity by providing the materials and freedom to explore. The funnels, measuring pitchers, connector tubes, blockers, and water wheel provide endless opportunities for child-guided learning.

This has been great fun for my 4 year old daughter. She loves it. It is perfect for a hot day activity. I combine it with a water table for my two year old. It’s challenging, creative and, teaches the concept of water pressure. The only downside is that I am afraid the part will be stepped on an broken easily. Other than that it’s an amazing toy/activity. This would be a great gift for a boy or girl. It’s hours of fun.
Wonderful

I bought these for a 3 year old classroom and within the first 2 weeks about 1/3 of the pieces broke at the connection point. It is about 2 months later and almost all of the pieces have broken and are no longer useable.

I usually love love Kaplan products! However this doesn’t work. The wheels do not spin after adding water (they are too tight). Very disappointed.

Connection point break easily

I am a STEAM educator for preschool -5th grade. I bought this for my 3yr old to use at home. We have had this since April 2020. He uses it almost daily. Here’s the downside. With normal wear and tear it seems the connection point are now breaking. We have only had this for 3.5 months. I would have loved to buy this for the classroom but if one child using it over three months can’t have it last longer due to the plastic breaking, I am not sure it will be a worthwhile investment for groups of children to use throughout the year. I see it breaking within a month. Maybe ours had faulty plastic? I don’t know. Kaplan Co. thoughts?

Even came with a container to hold all of the pieces. My 6 year old and 2 year old both play with this like crazy.

Kids have loved this. They set it up in a dry bathtub and just lean over and play. We are looking forward to playing outside with it come summer.
Awesome science activity

We love the STEM Builder Series Build a Waterway set. When it came we immediately set it up. It is not wobbly and stands steady.The daycare kiddos play with it every day. They love watching the water flow through the translucent pipes.
