The holiday season is a great time of year, especially for the kids! This year I came up with a list that I think will really inspire your kids, and let you have a little fun too! A lot of these gift recommendations are inspired form my own childhood. I remember making a lot of kits as a child, and I have included some of my favorite kits in this list.
OK, let’s get started with the CupCake Electronics Assembly. I ordered the Deluxe kit from batch #8, so most of the electronics are already assembled. Yea!
It’s time to unbox the Cupcake CNC and see what’s inside.
