Introducing an exciting mechanical engineering kit for kids aged five and up. With this kit, kids can build a collection of charming, motorized robotic animals. A 32 - page, beautifully illustrated storybook follows the Omegas, a family of makers and engineers from other Kids First early engineering kits. In the story, they visit a robotic pet shop filled with cute robotic pets like owls, French bulldogs, sloths, pandas, chameleons, cats, turtles, and rabbits. As kids read the story, they can construct models of these eight robots. They can then experiment to see how each robot uses the battery - powered motor and mechanical parts to move uniquely. The large, cubic plastic building pieces are easy for small hands to assemble. This Robot Pet Shop kit is a fun way to teach young children basic engineering concepts, helping parents, teachers, and caregivers build a foundation for STEM skills early on. Model building and experiments enhance fine motor, mechanical engineering, visual - spatial, reasoning, and concept development skills.
Using this kit is super easy! First, find a quiet and clean place to work. Take out the large, cubic plastic building pieces and the storybook. Read the story and as you come across each robotic pet, start building its model following the steps in the kit. You'll need to insert the battery - powered motor and mechanical parts carefully to make the robot move. When handling the parts, be gentle so they don't break. Keep small parts away from little kids who might put them in their mouths. After you're done building and playing, store the parts in a box or a container. This will keep them organized and safe for your next building session. If the robot stops moving, check the battery to make sure it's inserted correctly and has power. With a little care, this kit will provide you with hours of fun and learning!
