Botley™ the Coding Robot Action Challenge Accessory Set
$19.99
Help Botley™ set off some crashing chain reactions with Botley the Coding Robot Action Challenge Accessory Set from Learning Resources. This interactive 41-piece accessory set contains everything kids need to set up STEM-inspired obstacle challenges for Botley to navigate. Kids can follow the instructions inside the included Activity Guide to create 9 obstacle challenges filled with falling dominos, rolling balls, and swinging hammers, or design their own courses using critical thinking skills. Once everything's in place, kids simply code Botley with the desired steps, press transmit on the remote programmer, and watch him get things moving! In addition to building early coding skills, each obstacle course run also introduces fun hands-on lessons in early physics concepts including force and motion. All pieces in the Botley the Coding Robot Action Challenge Accessory Set are compatible with other Botley accessories, making the possible obstacle course builds as countless as they are fun.

Smartivity Super Duper Propulsion Car
$24.99
How about making a car that runs on air!
Introduce your child to the power of jet propulsion and thrust with Smartivity Super Duper Propulsion Car S.T.E.M. Educational D.I.Y. Toy Kit. A redesign of our most popular activity project in the 6+ age-group, the Super Duper Propulsion car now comes with extendible tracks and additional learnings about friction and gradients.
Once assembled, children can lay out the tracks they have build and change the length of the track as they please. The tracks have a flat element and an adjustable gradient/slope element. Using the breakers on the flat tracks, children learn the concept of friction and braking. While by changing the notches of the adjustable gradient children understand the variation in power required to climb an incline.
This exploratory and playful learning activity is bound to keep your child engaged for a long time!
