TTS Light Up Robot for Kids, Early Years Glow and Go Bot STEM Multi Sensory Educational Learning Activity Glowing Robot for Children
A charming, magical character, who merges awe and wonder with technology and relates to children's natural sense of curiosity. What will they discover as they explore the possibilities? What happens in the different modes? Will it go forwards, backward, sideways or rotate? The children can speculate, test and evaluate how to get it to a specific destination or just explore freely. It is great for learning about stimulus-response and recognizing that if a particular button is pressed, it will cause a reaction. This robot is pre-Bee-Bot as the controls are so literal, merely press the arrow buttons to choose a direction.
This is part of a technological journey where key skills are developed and foundations for understanding are laid down. It is developmentally aligned to young children's needs, skills and interests. The children will play with the Bot in many ways. Some will just enjoy pushing the buttons and seeing them light up, whilst others will plan amazing adventures. They will estimate how many times they need to press a button in order to land on a specified destination.
This will really support mathematical skills. It can be used individually or collaboratively. The children start to relate to the colors, lights, sounds, textures, and movements together. We had two moving in a sequence, in unison and then had a quartet who all glowed and moved in a synchronized way together. The children can follow the movements using their gross motor skills as well as their fine motor skills to press the button. The cheerful, lively music encourages the children to have fun and move freely. We made some mirrored spots to throw on the floor.
(Sold separately. ) This helps with sequencing journeys. It may go through a cardboard tunnel and re-emerge the other side if the buttons are pressed sufficiently.
