Build a series of adorable, motorised robotic animals with this introductory mechanical engineering kit for kids ages five & up. A beautifully illustrated 32-page storybook centers around the adventures of the Omegas — the family of makers & engineers featured in other Kids First early engineering kits. When Remus, the family’s robotic teddy bear, finds himself separated from the rest of his family, he embarks on a fun-filled safari adventure. Along the way, Remus encounters eight different robotic animals from all over the globe a polar bear, cat, narwhal, crab, fox, baby llama, unicorn, & sea otter. As they follow the story, kids can build models of these robots & experiment with them to see how each one uses the battery-powered motor & mechanical parts to move in a different way. Large, cubic plastic building pieces make it easy for small hands to put the models together. Robot Safari provides an engaging way to teach simple engineering concepts to young children, allowing parents, teachers, & caregivers to lay the groundwork for strong STEM-related skills & comprehension at an early age. Model building & experiments develop fine motor skills, mechanical engineering skills, visual-spatial skills, & reasoning & concept development skills.
