Domino Machine Gift Set: Build, Play, Learn
Turn a desk into a tiny science lab with the KiwiCo Domino Machine. The kit includes a friendly wood robot, a solid supply of dominoes, and clear guidance to help curious builders experiment with cause and effect. The tactile experience—smooth wooden pieces, the weight of a screwdriver, and the moment a line of dominos begins to tumble—invites hands-on exploration and focused play.
What’s inside and how it works
Everything you need arrives ready for assembly. A handy mini screwdriver, an illustrated blueprint, and a step-by-step online video guide you as you engineer your own domino machine. You’ll also get 100 wood dominoes to create long, satisfying runs.
