The Critter Bot (8 up to 100-Pack) is a STEM / STEAM learning robot project for elementary students (age 6-10) who want to learn engineering through art. Similar to the popular bristle bot / wobble bot / brush bot project, our vibrating robot is more stable, easier to build, and to decorate!
Robot builders will use their creativity and dexterity skills to build unique vibrating robot critters that will move on their own!
Free curriculum, worksheets, and STEM / STEAM tutorial videos available teaching circuits and industrial design. (See links below)
Have a robot party with friends, run a science workshop, or build a robot family!
Also makes a great girl scouts robotics badge activity (Daisies and Brownies)!

Customer Reviews
We used the 100 pack Critter Bots package for our elementary school’s annual Robot Week for grades K-2 last spring. The package was well organized and the kids had an absolute blast customizing their critters and building them. I was impressed by the quality and simplicity of the project. The kids were able to complete the project with minimal guidance. Highly recommend for this age group!
As an extra perk, the team at Barnabas has been so helpful in guiding us as we continue Robot Week going forward, with lots of new ideas and project options. Thank you!
Our girls had an absolute blast! They were super engaged and loved following the steps to build their robots. We can’t wait to try more in the future!
Our troop of girls absolutely loved this lesson and enjoyed seeing their robot come to life! Great lesson and video in explaining how robotics work and how they are made, all with putting that knowledge to work! Thank you from our girlscout troop!
We used this for the brownies robotics badge and the girls loved it! Highly recommend!
My Brownie/Junior Troop had a blast putting these together. The free curriculum and tutorials were a great resource! Will definitely be purchasing more from this company.
