When it comes to educational toys, one of our favorite brands to feature is OWI Robotics. OWI STEM toys are some of our best selling products, and even more important, they are favored by children and parents. Children love them because they are fun to play with and the toys have a lot of replayability. Parents love these toys because they’re not only affordable and fun, but they also have an educational component to them.
The 14-in-1 Solar Robot is all of those things. For about $20, you get a robot with 14 different forms and uses that runs on solar power – so no batteries required! Kids will learn about how solar power works and learn about creativity, basic design and engineering skills by putting the little robot together.
The robot’s 14 modes are divided up into various skill levels, so it will grow with your children’s ability. Level one builders can make a: Turtle-bot, Beetle-bot, Quadru-bot, Boat-bot, Walker-bot, Dog-bot and Wheel-bot. At level two, you can make Roly Poly-bot, Auto-bot, Slither-bot, Surf-bot, Zombie-bot, Crab-bot and Row-bot. Maybe that’s a “row-bot, robot” a robot that rows a boat. Hmmm.
The robot also comes with the ability to go forwards or backwards by way of reversing the polarity and you can also store unused parts of the robot in the body of the robot depending upon which form you use. All told, this is a fun and interesting way to teach kids about solar energy and robotics.
