Kits for the Holidays

There’s nothing like the thrill of a kit: open the box and shining new parts gleam up at you, making projects possible that take forever to build from scratch. Sometimes a kit lets you try something you know nothing about; sometimes it speeds up a familiar process. Every kid (no matter how old) wants a kit for the holidays, something to fiddle with before work or school kicks in again. Santa’s elves have been very, very busy this year, and they’ve given us a sneak peek of their best offerings.
