    Review for Zome Tool - Explorer Kit

    My daughter was thrilled to get this kit. She had a smaller one, but can now do so much more. Plus, there is enough parts that a friend can also work with her.

    What An Awesome Tool/Toy!

    Background: I'm a graduate student in materials science and engineering. The students I'm teacher's assistant for this semester have been needing help understanding crystal structures (and at times I have too...), so I decided to buy the Zome Tool - Explorer Kit. This product is wonderful, fun, and excellent for demonstrations (in bonding, structures, interstitials, vacancies, plane identification, and more reasons that I'll come up with later). I even built a Buckyball with a diameter that was up to my waist (I'm 5'7") to see inversions, glide planes, rotations, and other symmetry operators. Of course, beyond the academic environment, I have loved just playing with this stuff! Highly recommended. As an ambitious builder I would have preferred the biggest kit, but as a college student, beggars can't be choosers.

    Love This Toy

    My son loves this toy. It allows for terrific creativity. Zome Tool is very fun. My one and only complaint is that the pieces can easily break if the child (or siblings) are not old enough to understand the pieces are not meant to be flexible.

    The Zome Explorer Kit keeps the imaginative juices flowing. My 10 year old son is always coming up with new things to build. My 4 year old daughter likes to play with them too. Great toy for most ages.

    We love Zome

    We have looked at the CD and we have played and played. Even the adults were getting into it. We love Zome and can't wait to purchase more! It would be great if you also sold buble making supplies, like glycerine. Bubbles are so much better with a little of that and we had hours of fun with the cube and some bubble solution.
