Model Kits by Revell Allow Children to Make AND Play
Making a craft can be fun but then it just sits there. Why not allow your child to make something that they will also be able to play with once completed. Revell Model Kits are fun for your child to put together but then can be played over and over. It is like giving them two gifts in one.
Revell Model Kits are a Powered by Mom Holiday Gift Guide pick. Check out our Gift Guide HERE.
About Revell Model Kits
Revell makes different model kits depending on the age and skill of your child. Kits are available in both snap together and the kind that you glue together. My son is ten and although he would do well at the glue kits, he enjoys the snap together a lot because he can take them apart and rebuild if he wants to switch up playing versus building the model. Both the building and the playing are fun to him (and to most children) so we prefer the snap together!

My Thoughts
My son was able to complete his models all by himself without ANY help from us. Each kit has individual bags inside that separate the parts, making it easier for them to not be overwhelmed by all the pieces!
The instructions are clear for even a child to understand. Snapping the pieces together was no problem for my son other than snapping in the arms and legs of the figures in the kits. He DID do it all by himself but mentioned that was the only hard part. So, if you have a younger child working on the model kit, you might need to assist them with the arms and legs on the figures.
I love how he was able to put his mind to work while following directions, using motor skills to snap each piece together, and then he uses his creativity while playing with the models once they are all put together. He loved them so much that he asked for more for Christmas. So, guess what is sitting wrapped under our tree right now?! Can't wait to see the look on his face with all the other model kits by Revell on Christmas morning!

I love that you can make them and play with them, most models are so fragile that you can not play with them. My grandson would really dig these.

I like how the models challenge the kids and then they get to play with them.
I think these are great gifts and easy to put together.

I like that the instructions are clear for even a child to understand..I sometimes get lost in instruction manuals.
My kids would have more fun with the Scooby Doo set.
My son would love Halo sets (my husband introduced the game series and books a few weeks ago). Definitely something my son can do with his dad.
I love that the kids can snap them together themselves and don't have to use messy glue!
I learned that the kits come in two type of snap together or glue.
I like that the pieces snap together it also looks pretty simple to put together.
I like that the pieces snap together and parts are bagged in clear plastic bags.
I like all of these kits but the Scooby Doo is my favorite.
My son would LOVE this !!! He is a huge Star Wars fan (might get that from me!!)
my son loves putting together model kits but we hadn't seen these before. Love that he'd be able to play with them and they won't be just another model kit put together that sits there collecting dust
I like that you can choose snap together or glue kits. The Star Wars kits look amazing and my son would love them.
wow these are so cool! my favorite is the star wars!
My family loves Star Wars. My son and hubby would love the Star Wars set.
My boys would love the Star Wars set.
i want to do the model mystery machine. it is so awesome. i didn't know things like this existed.
Love how the instructions are very simple.
So cool! If I had to pick just one, I think I'd go for the Scooby Doo one! It reminds me of my hubby! Thanks and God Bless!
I like the easy to understand instructions and the fact that it is a worthwhile activity for children instead of video games or watching tv.
I learned they come in snap together or glue kits, and the instructions are written so the child can follow them fairly easily.
I would love to give one of these to my niece. This is great!
I think toys like these are great for building skills.
they look easy to put together
I love that it is easy for them to snap together. Some models are really brittle and trying to snap them together is scary lol. Its nice to know there is good quality models for the littler ones
That would be nice if the kids could snap the star wars ones any of them they would love anything to do with Star Wars
I am really glad I read this. I ( umm Santa) picked up a kit for my 8 year old daughter and husband. I had no clue they also made snap ones. Going to have to pick up a few for rainy day activities.
I learned that they are snap together and glue together kits....I think. It wasn't clear, is the same model available either way, a model can be done either way, or are there some glue and some snap?
I have built models all of my life. Revell has always had some of the best quality kits available.
Great suggestions for gifts especially for teens and tweens who are so hard to buy for! All hold the promise of hours of family fun in the days to follow!
I like that they are made for kids to assemble
These sound like they would be great fun for my son and grandson to put together!
It's great your son could handle putting them together - how were you able to control staying out of the process?! 🙂
These kits looks so fun for the kids to put together and they are for different skill levels too which is nice
My son would love the Star Wars kit. Personally, I would like the Mystery Machine.
I enjoy seeing the demonstrations by the children. It makes it obvious that these kits are user-friendly. You can see the quality of the pieces up close, which is very useful. Thank you for reviewing!
I like these kits. They are fun and give kids a sense of accomplishment.
Love the fact that they have kits in different age/skill sets. Like so many others I love the Scooby Doo kits especially the Mystery Van.
These are cute - I especially like the Scooby Doo kits
My kids love to build and out things together. This is definitely up our alley in cognitive thinking.
These are so cool! I am going to have to look into getting one for my son!
Different skill levels for players of all ability. It's cool. I like that. Get better you can make it harder.
I love that there are different skill levels available. What a fun product! As someone who loves any sort of building/assembling product, this is definitely something I'd look into purchasing.
Your review is helpful as you explain the details in how children of various ages can built these snap together kits and the fun for the whole family can enjoy.
I wasn't aware that they had snap together model kits. My son would love these and I would love that they are less messy than glue.
My nephew would spend hours with this.
These are so neat. I love Scooby doo.
This is so awesome..Huge fan of Star Wars here and i want this
These are such awesome gifts! I love that they keep kids busy and their noses out of electronics.
My 6-year old loves building stuff. He may be a touch young yet, but I know his older brother would love to help him with it. I love that you can snap them together and take them apart.
Love they are age appropriate even younger kids can do snap and love they have popular themes
I know my son would love these! They are very nice
I love that they snap together! My daughter (also 10) would end up with glue all over the place! LOL
These are soooo neat. I bet my daughter would enjoy the Scooby-Doo plane most of all. Ok pretty much any of them, she loves building things and these are right up her ally
A friend of mine is such a Star Wars Fan, he'll love this.
These kits look like something my son would really enjoy working on. He loves to build and would like this
Those Scooby Doo kits look awesome!
my nephew would have a great time with this
These are so cool!
I think these are awesome
Those are so cool even for me lol, my son would love the star wars big fan family over here
I love the snap together option. My grandson has never put models together and this would teach him how without the mess of glue. I wish these had been around when I was growing up. I can remember gluing my models and painting them and I would always loose the small pieces. But it was still fun and I know my grandson would have so much fun while learning how to put a model together.
These kits look amazing! My kids would have a blast with these! I am loving the Mystery Machine 🙂 Always wanted one LOL Star Wars would be #1 though.
One of my daughter’s favorite things to do is build things. She does a lot with her Legos. She’s old enough now,+ that these would be something she’d be interested in too.
These Kits are so cool! My Grandson would really like the Star Wars Kit...he saw the Movie, today!!
I like these kits because putting them together is a snap!
I had the great pleasure of observing the original model of the Millennium Falcon at the traveling Star Wars museum exhibit - and on close inspection, darned if it didn't look like they incorporated pieces of old Revell kits into it! So it all comes around full circle.
The AT-M6 walker would be a HUGE hit with my kids!
i love these products. the kids will go crazy.
There make great gifts, even a grown up would like them.
These are popular items that both kids and adults would love making.
It is fun to give something that encourages kids to make something on their own like this.
My grand son loves to build things so this would be perfect for him. He can play with it after he builds it. These look so fun
My sons would love this as they love to build and create things.
I've always him big into making crafts and things with my kids I find a lot if joy in it and noticed my kids self confidence shines when they make things. The fact that they can make it and play with it is something I would love to see them do. The smiles on their face wld be priceless
These are all great kits, with the Star Wars one's being my favorite.
The boys would love these! I like how they have to put it together to play and they can say, they did it. And it would be fun doing.
My goddaughter LOVES Scooby....not sure she's old enough to make these, but I'm sure her brother would help!
This is a great activity! One of the best ways to train your kids on concentration, following instructions are these kinds of puzzles and games!
Love the mystery machine van!
I like that they are easy to put together, they stay together, and are age specific. Genius!
I love that with the kits, children can not only make something, but that they are able to play with it when they finish.
All of the kits shown are awesome and seem easy to work with.... The Star Wars kits will be mine.
All of these kits are great! I love that they have so many, especially for kids. 🙂 I personally love the Scooby Doo ones!
I love all of these kits, they give us a chance to work together as a family, and they love the Themes that are offered here, great fun and great review
I totally agree that even though kids like to put together these models, once they are a finished product, they usually get put on a shelf to collect dust and just get looked at. I followed Revell on Pinterest and pinned the Revell® SnapTite Build & Play Star Wars First Order Heavy Assault At-M6 Walker to my 2017 Gift Ideas so hopefully, I’ll remember and others will see that this is an excellent gift for our creative children! The best parts that I like are no glue is needed and that the finished model can be played with! Thank you for sharing this!
I really like the Scooby Doo kits they're do colorful and fun that I think kids would like playing with them as much as putting them together!
I love that the instructions are clear for even a child to understand. My 5 grandchildren are 9,7,5,3 and a baby. I think between them they would be able to figure out the directions.
These sound really user-friendly. I love there are the two different options of gluing or snapping. Also love that the pieces are grouped together in different bags. That’s an amazing and thoughtful plan to keep someone from getting overwhelmed.
Thanks for sharing your son’s amazing experience! I look forward to trying one (or more) of these with my almost 10 year old niece!
These kits are nice. I like that you can choose either snap together or glue together. I prefer the snap together. Another great part is that the parts are separated into individual bags making it easier to put together.
These are such great toys to make our children think. I love that they snap together and that they can be taken apart and rebuild again. These are so nice. Thank you for sharing
I like that this is something my husband and son could do together.
These kits sound awesome! They have a very nice selection. It makes choosing only one kind of hard. I like that they stay together well after assembly too!
I like that a child can put these together, that makes me think MAYBE I could do it! haha, They seem pretty sturdy too. I know my son or my nephew would love any of these. I haven't put a model together in MANY years! Happy Holidays everyone!
I like that the Revell Model Kits are fun for your child to put together but then can be played over and over.
Revell makes different model kits depending on the age and skill of your child.
Models are awesome for kids to learn how things work my kids started out with small snap together and worked their way up.awesome toys.
My hubby would love this! Big Star Wars fan!
So fun!! I love that they offer different skill levels and interests!! Makes them perfect for so many ages!! <3
These are so cool my son would enjoy this
These would make crazy cool gifts for the guys
