Description
xBring a playful STEM companion home
Thames & Kosmos My Robotic Pet Hedgehog is a compact robotics project that arrives as a 172-piece build. As you assemble the parts into a lifelike hedgehog, you’ll see how gears, motors, sensors, and LEDs come together to create motion. The finished robot responds to sound, turning curiosity into tangible, interactive play.
Inside the box and build time
The build is designed for about 1–2 hours of engaging, hands-on construction. It’s challenging enough to stimulate problem-solving, yet rewarding as you see each piece connect and the mechanism come to life. You’ll emerge with a functioning, responsive Hedgehog you can handle and observe up close.
- 172 components to explore construction and spatial fit
- Clear, guided steps to assemble the chassis, gears, and motor module
- Compact design with room to explore basic robotics concepts
Hands-on STEM learning
As you build, you gain a practical window into how mechanical systems translate to motion. The project highlights the roles of gears, motors, sound sensors, and LEDs, helping you connect classroom ideas to real-world robotics.
- Learn how a sound sensor detects patterns and drives responses
- See LED indicators illuminate as the Hedgehog moves
- Develop problem-solving and planning skills through hands-on assembly
Interactive play that sparks curiosity
The Hedgehog is sound-activated. Clap once and it curls into a ball and tumbles; clap again and it rolls anew. With successive claps you control the number of tumbles, and its spines bristle for playful effect while its eyes glow with activity.
- Clap-triggered movement: ball, tumble, roll, and spin
- Dynamic spines and LED eyes add character during play
- Direct, hands-on feedback reinforces cause and effect
Power, safety, and potential
Requires four AAA batteries (not included) to bring the Hedgehog to life. This kit emphasizes exploration and skill-building, offering a tangible introduction to robotics for curious makers who enjoy hands-on projects.
Why it stands out
With its blend of mechanical insight, interactive play, and a compact, kid-friendly form, this project stands out as a gateway into robotics and electronics. It’s a thoughtful STEM toy that invites experimentation and repeat play without promising specific outcomes.
