Robot Crab

Can you keep crabs in your room at home? Now you can - and it doesn’t even need water or food.

The robot crab is just as smart as a real crab, because it senses when it's about to fall off an edge or bump into an obstacle.

There is plenty of learning and "Aha" moments in assembling the crab and observing its movements. It practically performs acrobatic tricks...

Your child will probably also figure out how to expand the fun and build little obstacle courses for the crab to crawl through - or how about mapping out its route across the desk or the floor?

Creativity and an understanding of mechanical principles are just some of the skills your child will develop through play.

Remember to have 3 AAA batteries ready when assembling the crab - they are not included in the package.

The activity is great for your child's well-being and ability to learn new things:

• Having a theme or a topic that you can talk about while playing builds up your child's vocabulary.
• Here, you can help strengthen your child's logical thought process.
• A great way to strengthen observation skills.

Suitable for children aged 8 yrs. to 11 yrs.

Science is no longer something difficult and complicated which adults tinker with in distant offices or laboratories. STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math)- based play activities and experiments are proof of that. The conventional boundaries between natural science, technology, engineering, and mathematics are blurred, and your child gets to be at the centre of the learning process through experiments and play.
