Review of Robotic T. Rex (Paperback)

This is very easy to put together and the booklet is informative and fun to read with your kids.But the robot itself is poorly made and just walks in circles.

Product Description
Real robots have been around for more than half a century and used for a variety of purposes. Some dinosaur robots are at the cutting edge of robot research. For years, experimental dinobots have been helping scientists and engineers test out different ways of walking. This "rexbot" will have two legs for walking and a tail to keep it balanced, just like the real T. Rex. Also in existence is Banryu, a real working dinosaur robot. This Japanese robot is about as big as a medium-size dog and is able to patrol the house like a guard dog and using its infrared sensors that can listen for noises and sniff for smoke. From fossil bones in museums to special-effects monsters in movies, T. Rex is probably the most well-known and fascinating dinosaur of all. This all-encompassing, full-color illustrated book gives kids an up-close learning experience and the chance to build their own walking T. Rex!

Review of 3-D Paint by Numbers: Dinosaurs (Hardcover)

My 5 1/2 year old son loved this set. He loves dinosaurs and he loved being able to paint and "create" his own dinosaur art.From the parents perspective: you have to mix your own colors most of the time and this gets annoying for the child and parent.Also the covers for the paints are ridiculously hard to open and the child can't do it at all.I practically ripped my thumb off opening the paints.Even so, my child really enjoyed the paintings and the book that accompanies the paints.

Product Description
Take a giant leap back in time - more than 200 million years ago - to the Mesozoic Era. Tour the Triassic, where you'll make tracks with the Grallator, the "stilt walker" dinosaur, dine with the plant-eating Plateosaurus and explore the super-continent of Pangaea! Journey through the Jurassic, where you'll meet a dinosaur with a crest above its eyes, fondly called Elvisaurus by paleontologists! And learn why dinosaurs vanished during the Late Cretaceous period. Young paleontologists will be fascinated by the amazing illustrations and facts about dinosaurs and their prehistoric world. And as they explore each period of the Mesozoic era, kids can follow step-by-step instructions for completing 5 different 3-D paint by numbers projects.
