My "cool" pick for my son this year.

A very interesting sound detecting robot kit. The four built-in microphones detect the sound source and the robot turns and moves towards it. Just clap and the robot will come to you. Clap again from another position and the robot will turn and move in that direction.

Assembly required, so if you are willing to give a kid not only a toy but some knowledge and an opportunity to tamper with technology this could be a great gift and can also serve as great educational toys.

If only it would vacuum the floor when chasing your child around the house!!!

Recommended Age 8 - We feel it is appropriate for 6+ with adults help in assembly.
