Great gift
I gave this pinball machine kit to my 7 year old nephew. He and his dad put it together and sent me photos of my nephew playing pinball. He enjoyed it a lot and it was a unique gift.
Great gift
Great alternative to tech gifts!
So nice we bought it twice!
My husband had such a great time putting this together with my nephew (age 14) that I bought another one for him. It is super cool and now both of them can have a blast. It does take time to assemble, though, and I cannot imagine that a 7-9 year old could do it in two hours with adult help. It took a 14 and 37 year old 90 minutes just to get the basic structure/mechanisms set up..... so leave some time for set up! But it is totally worth it!

Want a pinball machine? Make it.
This Made in the USA, DIY pinball machine comes with everything you need (39 recyclable parts, easy-to-follow instructions, marbles, and blank cardboard) to make a full-fledged machine.
It was invented by two professors, who wanted to encourage technology-free exploration—which is why there are no tools, batteries, or screens involved. All you need is an hour or so, and hands that are ready to fold.
Once you’ve built your base, customize the playfield with obstacles and pathways. The cardboard doubles as a canvas you can paint over—or, alternately, print out PinBox 3000’s graphics to add some of their colorful flair.
Now you can shoot, sling, and score using an American-made, homemade arcade game.
