When we went to craft days at Michaels sometimes the kids needed \"help\" the whole time ie meaning I did the activity instead of them. That was not so with this kit. The kids did everything pretty much on their own.

The toy is telling the kids how to play with it. \u0026nbsp;The kids are not engaging their imaginations and become bored. \u0026nbsp;We bought a hot wheels raceway for our son and gave it to him a month ago. \u0026nbsp;He plays with it sometimes, but he found the track didn't work very well, the cars sometimes fall off. \u0026nbsp;Most of the time he ends up just stacking his cars on the raceway instead of turning it on. \u0026nbsp;I am glad we did not pay full price for it. We are getting him a train set for Christmas and I have a feeling he will like it so much better. \u0026nbsp;He can move the trains anywhere he wants and there is not a wrong way to play with the toy.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e3.\u003c/b\u003e \u003c/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size: large;\"\u003eColoring is for girls and boys.\u003c/span\u003e \u003c/b\u003eMy kids love to color, both of my kids do. \u0026nbsp;I have often heard moms say their boys just do not like to color. \u0026nbsp;What do they color most of the time, coloring books?
