## Overview

The Thames & Kosmos Gumball Machine Maker is a STEM-focused physics kit that lets users build customizable gumball machines with modular track segments. It combines fun mechanical stunts like pulley lifts and pinball launchers with educational lessons on force, motion, and energy. Designed for kids 6+, it includes standard 16-mm gumballs and durable parts for endless trial-and-error learning and creative engineering.

## Description

Super sweet stunts! Build your own gumball machines and learn physics lessons in the process. A turn of a handle dispenses one gumball at a time out of the clear storage globe and down the track. The gumballs land in a collection cup and can easily and sanitarily be returned to the globe for another run. The track segments can be moved around on the base to create an almost limitless number of different gumball machines. As the gumballs roll down the track, they perform cool stunts and tricks. Stunts include a pulley lift, pendulum, funnel, trampoline, variable-slope ramp, pinball launcher, and domino slide. Each segment of the track teaches a different lesson in mechanical physics, allowing users to explore topics including simple machines, force, motion, momentum, gravity, Newton's laws, energy transfer, and more. Trial-and-error experiments teach in a fun, hands-on way: will your gumball successfully make it to the end of the track, or will you have to re-engineer your gumball machine to make it work? The kit works with standard machine-size, 16-mm (5/8-inch) gumballs and includes a small supply of gumballs to get started.

Review: So fun! - Fun and easy to put together! I do with it came with and extra bag of gumballs only bc the kids ate them in one day lol
Review: Extremely Happy - I’m extremely happy with this purchase. The quality exceeded my expectations, and everything arrived exactly as described. It was well packaged, easy to set up/use, and feels durable and thoughtfully made. I’ve been using it regularly and it performs consistently without any issues. You can tell attention was given to both design and functionality. Shipping was fast, the price was fair, and the overall experience was smooth from start to finish. I would definitely purchase from this seller again and would recommend this product to others without hesitation.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I want to buy refills. what size gumballs should I buy? The small ones- dime size? or the large ones about size of a quater?**
A: Thank you for your question! The gumballs that fit in the Gumball Machine Maker are about 5/8" (0.6"), so slightly smaller than a dime.

**Q: Can you use marbles?**
A: I use it with our marbles and marble run.  Beware, however, some tricks just don't work well with the weight of the marbles.  Luckily, my son loves it when the marbles fly off the track anyway.

**Q: Do you have a link to purchase refill gumballs?**
A: I bought the dubble bubble 20oz gumball machine refill

**Q: How tall is the completed gumball machine?**
A: The built Gumball Machine stands at 17 inches tall.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Cheap plastic, arrived broken. Still usable and some fun but not for the price.
*by T***S on November 23, 2023*

First of all it arrive with a crack in the container to hold the gum balls. Easily fixed with tape but still. Plastic seems cheap overall and we were afraid of breaking it further the entire time putting it together. Got it as a silly gift for my adult brother and I and our father. We would probably rate it as a 2 but going to give it a 3 for kids. The mechanism to release a gumball was almost useless. It constantly jammed in both directions and was almost impossible to get a gum all out. This would be the biggest frustration for a child. Several of the “experiments” are overhyped, especially the claim that they teach physics. The dominoes is a disappointment - the ball is intended to fall off the track. Actually it’s intended to fall off for several of the “experiments”. The momentum trap track was basically just the same as the 180 degree track. A few experiments were fun though! Trampoline was cool, although assembly was confusing. Centripetal force funnel was also cool. Slingshot was definitely entertaining even as an adult. Be aware that you can only do a few experiments at once due to the height of the gym all machine, especially if you want to do ones requiring more height like the pendulum. Overall I guess I’d recommend it if it was $10-15 max but for the price it’s not really worth it and I could see it being frustrating for children.
