Robotics and radio control toys can be fun for any child. These activities will engage your child while teaching them important concepts about life. Yet, you do have to take care that you choose a toy that is age appropriate. This is for safety reasons, but also to ensure that the child will use the object you are giving them. If the toy is not age appropriate, it will just be placed on a shelf somewhere never to be seen again. Choosing the right toy is not difficult if you know what to look for and pay attention to.

An age appropriate robotic or radio control toy needs to be fun for the child, not work. The toy should build on their existing skills and interests while challenging them. First, look for age notices on the toy. Experts have developed these age recommendations based on their knowledge of child development. Yet, you cannot stop there. Consider the maturity level of the child. Many toys come with a wide age range such as 7-12 years of age. If a seven year old is just learning to read, they may not be able to follow complicated directions. Yet, if you have a developmentally delayed 14 year old, this toy may still be appropriate.

Determine the child’s skills and knowledge of this type of toy. If this is the first project they have undertaken with robotics and radio control toys, go with a simpler project. This will allow them to build confidence without frustrating them to the point of giving up. Don’t choose something too easy as the child will quickly lose interest. If they complete the project and want to learn more, your gift will be a success.

Finally, it is always good to choose a toy based on what the child is already learning in school. This gives them a foundation to build on while expanding their knowledge. Children learn through play and this is a great way to expand their knowledge. Just be sure to follow manufacturer’s warnings, age notices and the like as the wrong toy can lead to a fear or hatred of robotics and radio control toys.
