  "question": "Which children's toys and kits need assembly or setup before a child can play with them?",
  "answer": "Klutz DIY Rainbow Catcher: Maker Lab STEM Kit: Assembly involves building the gearbox, connecting the battery pack, hanging the crystals and securing the catcher to a window. A 32-page instruction book is included.\nsmall foot Walker Elephant: The store says the walker arrives fully assembled; the maker provides assembly instructions for article 11607, so the sources disagree.\nHeebie Jeebies HJ-1302: The store recommends a protected work surface and adult help with measuring and pouring; after filling, the ongoing mess should be minimal. Adult supervision is recommended, and an adult should heat and pour the hot water for younger children.\nHeebie Jeebies HJ-1301: Add water to the powder; it expands into artificial snow within seconds. A display stand is not included with this individual test tube and is listed separately.",
