Many gain an appreciation and interest in engineering from taking apart their own toys and objects around them, so having a toy with this intended purpose is fantastic. Take-apart toys introduce kids to using different tools like a screwdriver and drill while walking them through reverse engineering, a process integral to learning about different machines.
The toy promotes curiosity about how things are put together, a concept at the core of engineering, while simultaneously promoting spatial reasoning development in young children. - D. C. Coble, Purdue Reviewer
