About the Snap-Bots

Children use snap-together builders to build up to six unique Snap-Bots- developing fine motor skills and learning shapes as they go!

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD Small parts. Not for children under 3 yrs

Using the Snap-Bots

Remove the builders from their packaging. Show the different builder styles to children. Discuss the features of the builders, and model how children can snap them together to make robots.
Show children what happens when snaps don’t fit together (either because both are sockets, or both are studs). Explain that children should look for a snap with the opposite feature.
Prompt children to decide which Snap-Bot to make. Ask, Which face, body, arms, and legs will your Snap-Bot have? Provide some possible combinations (for example, two short legs and two long arms) that children might use. Next, invite children to begin building. Have them start by snapping a face to a body. Encourage children to keep building until they complete their Snap-Bots.

Talk About It

As children work with the Snap-Bots, ask the following questions to engage their thinking:

How many builders did you use to build your Snap-Bot?
What shapes make up your Snap-Bot?
Can you make a Snap-Bot with 10 builders?

Build On Their Learning

Challenge children to build three Snap-Bots in three different sizes: small, medium, and large. Prompt children to start with the small Snap-Bot. Once they
have completed it, ask them to create a medium-size Snap-Bot. After children select the builders and complete the medium Snap-Bot, have them follow the same steps for the large Snap-Bot. Finally, ask children to count the number of builders in each Snap-Bot.
