HexBots Skitter Bot

What impresses me most about this toy is its durability. Because of its configuration, the lightweight legs of the spider allow it to bounce when hitting obstacles or falling from heights. As a homeowner, I’m also not concerned with it causing damage to floors, walls, etc. it doesn’t “do” much other than move forward so is best for younger, very imaginative kids with longer attention spans. My 7 yr old enjoyed it more than my 11yr old who got bored with it faster until I would suggest what they could do with it. Most of their play with it involved determining what it could do (can it go down stairs, can it climb over a pillow, can it follow a straight line, etc). We also all observed that it really does move around like a spider. It’s “noisy” because the legs are constantly spinning, but doesn’t bang in to things and make loud noises. The quality is good and it was beyond easy to set up. Overall, it intrigued my kids, but I don’t see them going back to play with it time and time again. We are fans of HexBots and would be interested in additional toys from Spin Master. I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review.
