Thames & Kosmos Kids First Robot Engineer Kit and Storybook
Description
Read the funny story of two inquisitive kids, Ty and Karlie, and build simple,
non-motorized models of the robots they construct and fix during their
adventure to an automated candy factory. During this zany outing, Ty and
Karlie build various robots to perform tasks and solve problems in the
factory. The robots have moving parts, wheels, and gears, so kids can learn
firsthand about simple machines and gear trains. As you follow the story, you
can build models of the ten robots featured in the story. Large, colorful
plastic building pieces make it easy for small hands to put the models
together. In the story, the kids build robots with arms that rotate, turn, and
spin. They fix a robotic arm and other specialized robots that complete
specific tasks inside the factory. They construct a robotic drone that flies
through the factory to coat the candies in sprinkles, wheeled robots that zoom
across the factory floor, a taffy-pulling robot, and a funny gum-kneading
robot. From each humorous segment of their silly adventure, the kids learn
something new about robots and machines. This 53-piece science kit combined
with the beautifully illustrated storybook provides an engaging way to teach
simple engineering concepts to preschool-age kids. Start laying the groundwork
for strong STEM related skills and comprehension. This kit helps develop fine
motor skills, science and math skills, visual-spatial skills, and reasoning
and concept development skills.
