Assembling GunPla is my kids’ newest craze. Gundam Plastic is a Japanese plastic models which comes in parts and need to be cut and put together. It comes with a super detailed instructions and sometimes stickers for certain models. Instructions must be followed properly and also right tools should he used.
Gundam is definitely a toy for the big boys. It takes a lot of patience to build one, but a creative mind to visualize the by-product. For this same reason I want my kids to try and get their hands and mind busy with this. By doing this they learn to be patient, to control their excitement, and to follow instructions. And of course it takes them away from the screen for at least a few ours.
As first timers they are doing Gundam SD and Petit’G Guy HG. They were able to finish it help Dad’s help.

assembling toys it what my little man loves to do too, better things to do than playing online games
That’s right. It lessens screen time and develops their fine motor coordination as well.
We use to play with Gundams too, pero sobrang mahal nila At nawawala pa ung mga parts (my kids dont know how to take care of their toys) kaya I chose to buy disposable and cheaper toys nalang hehe
Nice bonding moment pero minsan nakakainis pg di mabuo hehehe
Got similar problems here.. but we have sort of oriented them about this toy…how different it is with their other toys and how to play with them.
Nice bonding moment for kids and dad. It also brings out the kids’ creativity.
That’s nice to help kid’s imagination with this toys and they will eventually be more creative with it.
Thanks. My son said he wants to be a “scientist for robots” some day.
Ooh, this is definitely an interesting hobby for the kids and kids at heart. I think this is similar to building some lego worlds, except that you don’t need to cut your materials with lego, although some come with stickers too.
Will definitely check this out for my son, perhaps he’d like it too. 🙂
Yup quite similar in that sense.
I have my Gundam moments when I was younger, but it was more like reading the manga and touching my cousin’s collections. I couldn’t have them because they were expensive. Glad that your children are enjoying it. They are blessed to have parents like you willing to let their kids experience iconic toys!
Yun pala ang meaning ng GunPla :). I’ve been seeing the term GunPla in my feed kasi. My little girl is into Barbie and Shopkins, I’m not sure if she knows Gunpla already.

Yup ^_^
Ay maganda yan! Mga puzzles in that form and written like crosswords, logic, etc., are all good for self-development. ☺
Somewhat like puzzles because you’d have to put them together.
I have a friend who assembles and even modifies gunpla and I must say, this hobby is soooo beyond me. The kit is intimidating, the parts too small, the manual nakakahilo, basta! Hats off to your kids for being interested in this craft, makes for good bonding session din! 🙂
Thanks. Yup definitely not for everyone. They’re doing this with their dad. It’s totally beyond me too.
