Love this for my class! We do a lot of steam and Invention Convention activities in my class. I have very poor wrist for cutting cardboard for 21 kids. I bought two of these machines and I absolutely love them. It takes a little bit of time for a five in six-year-oldâs to realize the direction they should be pushi…

We design, prototype and build various 2D & 3D items. He is learning so much from how to build a stand for 2D cardboard cut outs and making 3D objects out of flat cardboard. He was so excited about the safety cones we built for around his workshop area. At this age he is very good at cutting straight lines so someti…

This is a fabulous tool - not only for cutting but it is also great for hand eye coordination! The kids love it.... and the littles just cut, cut, cut but I don't mind because they are learning as they go. I would highly recommend this for any crafting space! Good job guys!

This was a Christmas present for our 5 year old granddaughter. She took right to it, and she LOVES making things — even just cutting random shapes is fun. Here she is with her pink bunny rabbit hearing protection. One thing it needs is a non-slip bottom

Best Kids Toy/Tool Out There!!! This is the best childrenâs toy/tool ever created! Iâve been following this product since it was a crowd fund campaign and recently watched the Shark Tank pitch.

They , of course, had watched the show and had said how much they hoped Santa would bring them one. This was the first Christmas where the 11 yo knew there wasn't a jolly old man in a red suit. So I wanted to make it extra special for that saddened kid. I ordered it right away. It was their "best present ever"! I wa…

Masterpiece! Hey guys! Just to let you know, this was the absolute best Christmas gift for our 9 year old son!

My grandson is so excited! My 11 yo grandson is in heaven! I didnât know if he would know what it was but once he unwrapped it he shouted this was like what they had in the Odyssey room (gifted program) at school! He opened it up and set it up - made a boomerang and all kids went outside to throw it around! No vid…

Cuts like butter! We love it. There are learning curves, as with any new tool, but we picked up on it fast! I cut out some articulating fairy wings with a 6 foot span in about 10 minutes. I do wish it had non skid feet as we have scooted it accidentally quite a few times. Makes creating so much faster, and makes cre…

I got it as a Christmas gift for them (along with a stack of cardboard boxes I had been saving up) and they started putting it to use right away. I love how easy and safe it is for the kids. Even my 4 year old was able to use it. I look forward to using the Chomp Saw myself to create DIY projects. It's much easier o…

Such a great tool! Got this for my son for Christmas- it is absolutely worth the money. The detail that went into this is amazing! Very durable, safe and easy to use. There was no additional set up- it was ready to use straight out of the box. Within minutes he was set up and cutting his first pieces. Even under the…

Perfect addition to my classroom! The first time I saw this I knew I needed to get one for my classroom. I have a never ending supply of boxes and what better way to repurpose them?

A versatile tool and easy to use. The kids love that they can't cut themselves. The big button is very clear. Occasionally, they turn it off while cutting though, so it might be a little too sensitive. LOL It makes nice edges. Very few cuts required additional clean up. They are still in the process of learning, but…

So fun! My 4-6th grade Art class students have loved this tool. We've been making low relief cardboard sculptures. They have really enjoyed cutting shapes with it. We have struggled with some cardboard that is a little to thick to go into the saw easily. Smashing the line down with their thumbs is a struggle for som…

My daughter made a sign for her friend's birthday and my son made an airplane for their first projects. Both kids are constantly building things but they usually require me to be heavily involved since cardboard is their #1 building material and it's really hard to cut. Now I can take a backseat and they can still l…
