Cute Animal Robots for Young Engineers: Thames & Kosmos Kids First Robot Pet Shop

The Omegas, a family of makers and engineers, are back in another exciting engineering adventure featured in the Kids First early engineering kits. This time, the characters embark on a trip to a robotic pet shop, where they encounter an array of adorable robotic pets, including an owl, French bulldog, sloth, panda, chameleon, cat, turtle, and rabbit.

As you read through the beautifully illustrated 32-page storybook manual, you'll have the opportunity to build models of these charming, motorized robotic animals that the Omegas encounter. By experimenting with the models, you'll learn how each one utilizes the battery-powered motor and mechanical parts to move in a unique way.

The large, cubic plastic building pieces make it easy for small hands to assemble the models. This introductory mechanical engineering kit, designed for ages five and up, provides an engaging way to teach simple engineering concepts to young children. The kit helps parents, teachers, and caregivers lay the groundwork for strong STEM-related skills and comprehension at an early age.

The beautifully-illustrated storybook manual follows the adventures of Ty and Karlie, two young engineers, as they discover the delightful robotic animals at the robot pet shop. The clear and detailed step-by-step assembly instructions guide children through the process of building 8 motorized models of the robots from the story.

Model building with this kit helps develop fine motor skills. The large cubic building components, which are compatible with other Kids First early engineering kits, are perfectly suited for the target age group. The included battery-powered motor box is the driving force behind the models' movements, allowing children to observe and understand the mechanical principles at work.

By engaging in this engineering adventure, children will have the opportunity to develop a range of skills, including fine motor skills, mechanical engineering skills, visual-spatial skills, and reasoning and concept development skills. The Robot Pet Shop kit provides a fun and educational way for young learners to explore the world of robotics and engineering.
