A few weeks ago I ran across the stevespanglerscience.com website while I was looking for Christmas gifts.I was immediately impressed with  all their educational science projects. I always enjoyed science as a child. We have made it a priority in our family to expose our grandchildren to fun science projects. The idea is to make science fun so that our grandchildren view science as a fun subject to study. 
I am very excited to be reviewing the Transforming Solar Robot Kit. I know this Transforming Solar Robot is going to be a hit this year for Christmas.

My grandson collects anything related to Transforms. So when I I was asked to review this three in one solar transforming robot I knew this was the model I wanted to put together with my grandson. 
The robot transforms in to three separate modes, humanoid robot, tank robot and scorpion robot. The robot runs on solar power so there is no need for batteries. 

Putting this robot together was quite fun to do with a little help from my grandson. The instructions manual was easy to read which is a plus for myself and grandson as we are beginners when it comes to building models. 

The parts were labeled well so there was no confusion or frustrations in completing this project. 

Following the manual step by step we completed the project in about two hours with a few breaks. The robot is easy to transform into the three different forms of which my grandson prefers the humanoid robot form the best. 

It was so exciting to see my grandson learning about eco-responsibility and renewable energy. Putting the parts together was also a great work out with his fine motor skills.

Toddler Science Experiment

The past few weeks I noticed my grandson was fascinated with  the mini box fan I have sitting on an end table. I have not had a problem with him inspecting the fan and enjoying the air moving over his face because the grill over the front has very small openings. We checked it out and his little fingers can not pass through the openings. He has not really played with it but he liked to stand in front and let the air blow through his hair.
Today I decided to show him how the moving air can blow paper around. I held up a napkin and let him see it blow across the table. He squealed with delight. I gave him different types of paper and cardboard and watched him absorb the information. He learned to lean the fan just right to get heavier paper and a wadded paper ball to move across the table. After a few minutes he ran off to his toy box, thinking he was ready for something new I switched off the fan. A minute later he returned to the fan with a hand full of toys and asked me to turn the fan on. I was amazed at his thinking. He tried  toys and other objects around the house. I could see his little mind running high speed trying to understand why some things were moving and others were not.
Finally in the end he exclaimed with his toy cow in front of the fan "stuck."
