## Description

Read the funny story of two inquisitive young engineers, Ty and Karlie, and their family's robots, Huxley and Remus. Build simple models of the boats they encounter in the story. The boats actually float on water, making for fun and easy experiments around the sink or bathtub.The Boat Engineer story centers around Huxley and Remus. Their boat-building adventure starts when a robotic fish they are testing goes haywire and swims away uncontrollably. Huxley and Remus build a rowboat in their effort to catch up with and capture the robotic fish. They find the rowboat is too slow, so they build a fan boat to go faster. As the story continues, the robots make their way downstream and eventually out to the ocean. Along the way, they must build new boats to solve specific problems and perform tasks. They build a sailboat, riverboat, speedboat, fireboat, tugboat, freighter, catamaran, and a hydroplane.From each humorous segment of their silly adventure, the robots learn something new about boats. As you follow the story, you can build models of the ten boats featured in the story. Large, colorful plastic building pieces make it easy for small hands to put the models together.This 52-piece science kit combined with the beautifully illustrated storybook provides an engaging way to teach simple engineering concepts to preschool-age kids. Start laying the groundwork for strong STEM related skills and comprehension. This kit helps develop fine motor skills, science and math skills, visual-spatial skills, and reasoning and concept development skills.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great toy, some issues
  

*by S***G on Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2020*

This is a great toy for my almost 4 year old. However, it's quite annoying that (for the price) it doesn't have enough components to add creative touches to a more complex boat or make 2 boats at the same time. All that would be required are a few extra dowels and interlocking pieces, and an additional pair of eyeballs to be included with the kit. Unless T & K sells a bag of extra parts for this line, the only way to solve this problem is to buy a whole additional set, which I am opposed to doing. I docked a star because of this.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    My 4 year old loves this kit! Each night ...
  

*by E***8 on Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2017*

My 4 year old loves this kit! Each night we build a new boat and test it out during tubby time. He likes using his Lego Duplo figures with the boats and will play until the water turns cold.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    5 year old enjoys this over and over
  

*by G***A on Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2019*

5 year old loves to figure things out, he can do this and Not get frustrated, and loves the story with it.
