Tumbling Hedgehog
Kids can learn about robotics and engineering with the Tumbling Hedgehog from Thames and Kosmos. It's a new type of sound activated electronic pet, in kit form.
Assembly can be challenging. On a difficulty scale of 1 to 3, this would be a 2, so some adult input may be needed for younger kids who are more interested in playing with it than the building side.
Kids control their pet hedgehog's movements by different types of clapping. It will react by putting on a show of tumbles, rolls, and spins. It will curl into a ball and bristle its spines.
Full instructions are in a step-by-step guide, plus a detailed video on YouTube.
This is a fun toy that will appeal to kids interested in STEM and who enjoy putting things together.
