Spielzeug Kraul Block & Tackle Pulley Kit

We used these pulleys for a Simple Machines unit in our STEM class for preschool / elementary age kids. They're good solid pulleys and worked well for our purposes. They come with a very thin cord that is hard on the hands. I went to my hardware store and bought much thicker, softer, cord, which works much better. No, the box does not include the dolls in the picture, but it doesn't matter - there's lots of fun you can have with these by combining them with easter baskets or sand buckets you already have and filling them with toys you already have.

It is sooo small.And age rated at 10 years...I was disappointed.... for my six year old grandsonand will save it for four years.

I wish i would have read these reviews. I thought the little figures were included as well. In the rush of gift buying I went with what i saw in the photograph. This game is not nearly as fun for kids without them. I feel ripped off.

This item description does not tell you what you are not getting. I bought the kit thinking I could do the exact experiments in the picture with my K class. But the kit did not include the baskets or figurines. I was disappointed.

I just bought this, with the picture that shows a cable car and baskets and gnomes….I got one block and tackle in an open box… I am in the process of returning, which is going extremely smoothly. But when I emailed them about the deceptive picture, they did not mention it, they just told me I could return it if I wanted it. Again, this picture matches NOTHING that I received. Buy elsewhere.
