UGEARS intermediate model kits make building a fun and engaging hands-on experience. These kits are geared towards older kids and adults looking for a more complex project. Each model is pieced together from flat, unfinished, laser-cut plywood parts that don’t need tools or glue to be assembled. The finished product has parts that move, too, to put these models in motion.

Gallop to a victory. This horseracing board game has you race against other jockeys to reach the finish line first. It combines dice, cards, and little pegged horses that are full of nostalgic charm.

This super smart keyboard will teach you how to play—like an effective, patient teacher. Sync your device to the keyboard and your hands to the keys, where LED lights integrate seamlessly with the screen and guide you with step-by-step and hand-by-hand instructions. Pick from the library of videos and digital sheet music as you make your way from Twinkle Twinkle to one of Mozart’s concertos. You can stop, rewind, and slow down whenever you want. And when you’re not practicing, use your keyboard as a speaker to stream music.

Djubi (joo-bee) is the slingshot toss game that makes classic catch seem underwhelming. Each racket has a deep net for catching and a hook on top to launch the included foam balls. Slip a ball’s latex loop over the hook then pull, point, and release to launch it up to 100 feet. Get your sling on at the park, pool, or beach.
