Impressive, this 3-foot Lizard King.

Measures 36" long, and comes with a display stand. Bones are nicely aged for paleontological verisimilitude. Very nice kit, with legs, as they say! For ages 8 and up.

Beginner Bot
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
You can't start 'em too young in the competitive robotics games, we always say. This kit requires no soldering, but the result is a honey of an 8-legged lunar rover, sort of a wireless remote-control arachnid. Includes a pre-wired circuit board for the infrared remote and wiring harnesses for the motors and batteries. The case is translucent red and yellow plastic and the whole robotic shebang will measure 6" x 6" x 5" when finished. Has (8) 4-part articulated legs, and (4) switchable channels, so you can operate your bot with (3) others on the same surface. Includes a good 13pp manual, requires minimal tools for assembly and a total of (4) "AA" and (4) "AAA" batteries, which you supply. The manufacturer doesn't list an appropriate age (other than warning that 3-year-olds can eat the parts) but we think any crafty 9- to 99-year-old could handle the task.

Harness the power of the wind, lemons, potatoes or mud. The Windmill Generator has a generator and propeller with (6) 5-3/8” wide blades and a tail.

The Enviro-Battery Kit has copper and zinc plates, cups, an LED monitor on a little tower, sound module, LCD clock plus wire and tape. You perform (6) different battery experiments, plus many more suggested in the included book, and yes, a mud battery is among them.
