I wouldn't gift this to kids under 10 and maybe not under 12 because the pieces are quite hard to manipulate and takes both strength and dexterity to assemble (especially weaving in the joiners in some tight places).
These kits take more patience than the packaging and presentation would suggest. It's oddly marketed as a kid's toy but most kids would not enjoy the assembly. The elephant took me about an hour to assemble. The end product is surprisingly sturdy and attractive, especially once lit up.
Update- superglue did not work, 3M tape did not work, and it is now in the trash. The end.
Thank you Creatto, you guys are bomb!
