Fundamentals of Robotics: Fun for Parents and Children, Paperback

Do you like movies? Do you like robots? This book is a reading book for children from 5 to 80 years old (ok, ok...from 5 to your age).

Caution: This book requires that both, parents (or teachers) and children, work together at least 15 minutes a day on reading texts and assembling some robot pieces (only the printed version) of the robot you see on the cover.

The idea is that parents (or teachers) with their children spend some few minutes every day practicing reading, explaining the concepts for reading comprehension and learning about robotics. Every book has vocabulary for parents (or teachers) to help children to understand some terms from the world of Robots.

Additionally, with very simple tools like glue and scissors, parents and children build the robot's parts, but again it s recommended to make just one robot part per day. This activity help to build children s imagination and creativity . It is a wonderful way to develop fine motor skills and something very important nowadays: patience.

Some cutting and folding is a good exercise to help children to figure out geometric figures.

Every reading session becomes a fun activity while kids see their own progress in several ways. The more they read the closer they get to have their paper-craft robot as a final reward.

Automated printing has limitations and though the desire is to have the paper-craft robot on a sheet with good thickness, we had to use the same paper thickness of the interior pages. There are more titles and languages available, each with a different robot (Four in total). If you want to buy the FOUR books in one book and save, look for Robots For Children Full Version.
