There’s something called a Tinker Crate. You subscribe, and every month they send you a kit with certain supplies you assemble into the month’s 
science project using the included instructions. Some of the crafts are drip irrigation kits, bottle rockets, and homemade flashlights.
Though this is a blog for games, Tinker Crates are fun and I couldn’t resist doing a post about it. The box also comes with a few extra supplies and a booklet to explain the science behind the craft as well as a few other experiments. It is a really fun way to learn about engineering, science and history, and when you’re done you can actually use the creation! I highly recommend it for most kids, though I know many adults who would be equally interested.
My most recent crate was a “Draw-bot”. When you turn it on, it vibrates and colors your piece of paper. It included a motor, a battery case, two batteries, a gear, and much more.
Again, I recommend this item for most kids and many adults because it teaches, is a craft, and has many alterations you can make to customize it.
