Thames & Kosmos Kids First Robot Engineer Stem Toys

Kids Science Kit: Take the first steps into the exciting world of engineering with this STEM kit. Our kit allows kids to build their own robots and develop their fine motor skills, visual-spatial skills, and reasoning skills while having funPractical Learning Resources: The science kit will teach your child about the basic principles of simple engineering through the story of Ty and Karlie, two young engineers, and their adventures in an automated candy factoryBuild Different Models: In this engineering model kit, kids will be able to construct models of 10 different non-motorised robots. The large, colourful plastic building pieces make it easy for small hands to put the models togetherInformative Model Kit: The robots have moving parts, wheels, and gears, enabling kids to learn about simple machines and gear trains in an engaging, hands-on mannerFor Age 3-6+: The model kit is designed for kids aged 3 and above and comes with 53 building pieces and a 32-page illustrated storybook manual. This STEM kit makes for a great gift.Read the story with your child and build simple models of the robots that they meet on the way, such as Toro, the gardening robot! “Hi, I’m Toro. When my wheels turn, they spin their axle. The axle has a small gear on it. That gear spins the large gear. My arms are attached to the large gear. So when my wheels turn, my arms turn too! I was designed to roll through a garden and pick weeds as I go, but my program has a bug in it, so I would rather look for and pick up candy”Learn about how gears change speed, direction and power by building robots like Reggie! “Hi, I’m Reggie! Count how many times my arm spins around each time my wheel spins around once. Does my arm even spin all the way around? Try the reverse: If you spin my arm around once completely, how many times does my wheel spin around? And what do you notice about the direction each gear spins?”

Build Kyle the candy stamper, who stamps different shapes out of large sheets of candy!

“Hi, I’m Kyle. I use my stamper arms to make lots of different shapes and sizes of candies. I am programmed to move forward and stamp shapes as I go”
