Invasion of the Bristlebots (Klutz) at Amazon

Robot toys are fantastic for children for so many different reasons, but when you combine robots and creativeness, you can end up with do-it-yourself toys (DIY toys) your kids will be really proud of. Easy projects for kids involving robots are very attractive. There are multiple robotic kits of various complexity in the marketplace, but turning a toothbrush into a robot pet bug, now that is ingenious! And that is a Bristlebot.

All you need is a toothbrush head, a vibrating motor like the one in your old cellphone, a battery and a switch. Putting it together is very simple as well. Invasion of the Bristlebots (Klutz) is an excellent reference with detailed information about all you need to know about the Bristlebots world and it comes with two robots toys.

The possibilities for playing activities with your new toy gadget are multiple, including battles with other robots, races, mazes, painting projects (brushes paint), etc.

Bristlebots are robot toys and DIY toys, they are machine toys for learning a few principles of electricity and physics; but especially they represent a great opportunity to share unforgettable moments with your children building and enjoying something together.

Consider a Bristlebot for the next science toy project or just for the fun of it, it will certainly be an experience!

Robot Toys

Mazinger Z at Amazon

What is it with robot toys, why do we love them so much? Since way before the revolution of the transforming robot, robots for kids have been some of the most powerful elements and themes of creative play. Not only do they stimulate the imagination, they also motivate curiosity for science and technology.

Robotic toys offer so much. Whether it’s a simple doll, or an actual robotic dog, the robotic toy is a great companion in playing adventures day by day.

Where I grew up there was Mazinger, the coolest of Japanese robots on television. My wife cracks up laughing every time when I meet people and I bring the subject up, but you would be surprised how good of an ice breaker that is. I still have my robot toys from childhood, although Mazinger lost his arms.

Robot Toys are to children what robots in general are to pop culture. Can you imagine if all the robotic concepts would disappear from you favorite science fiction movies alone? Would any Star Wars movie be the same? Is science fiction even possible without robots?

The robotic toy is great for learning and development, it’s a multidimensional tool that encourages discovering, creative thinking, understanding of physics and mechanics in different levels; and so much more.

The alternatives for activities involving robot toys are endless, from roll playing games to kids science projects. And not only children get to enjoy this universe, wouldn’t a robotic kit be the ultimate challenge for the scientist is you? Why not to build robots?
