Build your very own Green Science Hybrid Crabot that has a mixture of two forms of power - solar or battery power!

To assemble, simply pop out the plastic parts, connect the wires to their terminals and twist the parts into place using the twist-on screw caps.

If the sun is shining, you can slide the power switch to solar-powered mode and twist the mini solar panel towards the sun. Watch your crabot scuttle along!

But, when the sun is no longer shining, switch him across to use the battery instead, he'll continue to crawl along happily with the side to side movement of his legs!

What a wonderful way for your young ones to learn about alternative energy principles as it's long legs work together to tippy-toe across your desktop!

Your kit includes: All the pop-out plastic parts required for your build, including a battery box, solar panel and googly eyes, as well as fully illustrated instructions.

Also required but not included: A small crosshead screwdriver. Requires 1 x AAA battery (not included).

Recommended for ages 5 and up (adult guidance required).

Assembled dimensions of robot: Approximately 17cm long.

Crabby! Walks great but will tip over. Runs on batteries or the sun. Easy to put together. The walking motion is fascinating to young eyes!

Bought as a gift, the child loved it and really enjoyed building and playing with it. Fab set for inquisitive minds. Needed a little help from an adult

My 8 year old son loved it! Pretty quick assembly. Requires adult help at times as “screws” are not always easy to insert

I purchased astronaut food and a prank golf ball for my 15 year old son, as stocking fillers for Christmas. Amazing. They arrived quick. Well packaged. And I know my son will love them. I hope I get to try some of the astronaut food. I have never seen that before. If not... I will be placing an order after Christmas for more. ...

Purchased two novelty miniature musical instrument desktop toys to take to work to amuse the office. Products are excellent and well packed for safe postage. CoolThings communicated the order and shipping details promptly, and items were sent and received quickly. Happy to recommend CoolThings and now that I know of them will likely purchase again....

My goods were exactly what I expected, I was told exactly where my parcel was and how long it would take to get to me. Everything was just so cool, as the name suggests. Love your stuff, it's so different....
