You’re never too young to start learning music skills, and the Think & Learn Rocktopus proves it. This music-playing, robotic octopus features 15 different musical instruments spanning a range of styles, allowing your kid to create tunes with little more than a press of a button. More than just a toy, the Rocktopus can help your child learn patterns, addition, and subtraction. FISHER-PRICE THINK & LEARN ROCKTOPUS MAKEBLOCK MBOT SMART ROBOT KIT The Makeblock mBot Smart Robot kit makes it easy to introduce STEM to elementary school kids. The robot kit is comprised of modules that fit together with an enclosed screwdriver. It also has several pre-set modes that allow a child to explore essential robot functions such as obstacle avoidance and line following with minimal coding. It even is compatible with LEGO, providing endless hours of joy and creativity. Kids love Play-Doh and this kit allows them to scan their Play-Doh creations into the digital world on an iPad or another iOS device. The kit includes a familiar array of Play-Doh cans, tools, cutters, and stampers, along with a special plastic tray. If you place creations on the tray and scan them with an iPad, they come to life as characters or objects in a colorful, side-scrolling world. The creations can even jump around and explore their digital environments, and you can scan non-Play-Doh objects to serve as backgrounds.
