Johnco Solar Bug

Johnco Solar Bug: Children learn best by doing. You can see the concentration and wonder in their eyes and they explore by sight and by touch, sucking in information as they go. You know the old saying, “Give a man a fish…” well if your child is a curious budding engineer you should “teach them to fish!”

This kit has been designed with the child in mind. It includes everything they need to build their very own mechanical, solar-powered bug from scratch! Once completed, your child will be able to see the mechanical transmission systems and electrical motors in action, and you’ll never need to buy batteries for their toy – ever!

Solar is the power of the future. Every child should understand how vital solar will be to keep our modern world working long after coal is a thing of the past.

What better way to learn about this abundant power source and how it can fuel our world than by building your very own solar-powered bug!

Johnco Solar Bug: With direct sunlight, this little bug will wander along strutting its stuff like a real love bug. Detailed instructions and easy-to-assemble pieces make this kit a fantastic first foray into the world of green energy engineering. Just imagine where their curiosity could take them!
