Get this amazing mechanical engineering kit for kids aged five and up to build a set of cute, 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. When Remus, the robotic teddy bear, gets separated from his family, he starts a thrilling safari adventure. Along the way, he meets eight cool robotic animals from around the world: a polar bear, cat, narwhal, crab, fox, baby llama, unicorn, and sea otter. As kids read the story, they can build these robot models and experiment to see how each uses a battery - powered motor and mechanical parts to move differently. The large, cubic plastic building pieces are easy for little hands to assemble. Robot Safari is a great way to teach simple engineering concepts to young kids, helping parents, teachers, and caregivers lay the foundation for strong STEM skills early on. Building models and doing experiments improve fine motor skills, mechanical engineering skills, visual - spatial skills, and reasoning abilities.
Using the Robot Safari kit is super easy. First, read the 32 - page storybook to get into the adventure. Then, start building the robotic animal models with the large plastic pieces. You can follow the story and build the models as you go. When you're done building, put in the batteries and see how the robots move. Make sure to handle the small mechanical parts carefully so they don't get lost. Keep the pieces in a safe place when not in use. If the robots stop working, check the batteries to see if they need to be replaced. Also, avoid getting the parts wet as it can damage the motor. Have fun building and learning with your Robot Safari kit!
