Build your own life-size grasshopper. An educational robot and mini solar kit. He's small, but he's an attention-getter!
Explore the potential of solar power with this neat science kit. This build-it-yourself educational solar hobby kit is for the first time science experimenters with little or no experience.
The Frightened Grasshopper Solar Powered Bug
Teaches about forms of alternative energy in a easy-to-use science kit
Shows how solar energy can be used to generate electricity
Illustrates how radiant energy from the sun can be transformed to electrical energy with a PV cell
A motor inside the grasshopper transforms electrical energy to motion
Functions best very close to a non-florescent light bulb or in direct sunlight
An attention-grabbing display piece related to solar power for a science fair project, class discussion, or just out-of-the-ordinary play
The dimensions of the Grasshopper are 6.50x3.25x1.50 inches
Ages 10+
As one of the top online toy retailers, we have access to unprecendented quantities of product review data. One of the key ways that we use this data is by associating our products to the specific ages and genders of the kids who are playing with them. Whereas most retailers must rely upon manufacturer suggested ages (i.e. 3+), we take actual customer usage and share it with you here so that you can choose the perfect toy or game.
But how does this help me? You can use these graphs as a general measure of it's appropriateness for a given age and gender. While this information is generally accurate, it should not be used as an absolute answer. For instance, many dinosaur toys are purchased for boys, however, that doesn't mean that it's inappropriate for a girl who happens to like dinosaurs.

NOTE: The orange color in the charts above indicate ages that are LESS than the manufacturer suggested age. Please purchase at your discretion if your child is younger than 10 years of age.

My 10 year old daughter specifically requested something she could assemble with her retired engineer grandfather. They both enjoyed the assembly and were pleased when it buzzed in the sunlight.

This toy was cool. My 10 yr old loves putting things together and solar power amazes him. He put it together in a snap.

This toy provided the nine year old recipient with an opportunity to build his own solar powered toy within minutes and without assistance or frustration. The glow of completion added to the enchantment of the cute little creature and the solar powered feature was educational for both children and adults.
