Disclaimer: I was not compensated for this post.
This holiday season Hexbugs brings us VEX robotics kits that make great holiday gifts for absolutely anyone on your list this year. The Hexbugs VEX Robotics Kinetic Engineering Kits and the VEX Robotics Ball Machines were showcased at this year’s Holiday of Play hosted by the Toy Insider team and Woman’s Day magazine. The VEX Robotics kits are the perfect combination of STEM education and a creatively fun project in where you can use your imagination to create your very own fully functional working robot. The kits come with everything you need for an engaging hands-on-learning experience.
“The mission of VEX® Robotics is to introduce science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) to kids at a young age!” These kits were first introduced directly into the classroom but now you can bring the same experience into your home. 
*VEX Robotics Kinetic Engineering Kits ($19.99-$49.99) allows you to build your very own working machine that converts potential energy to kinetic energy. You can choose the Gear Racers kit where you can build a red and blue car then race your friends. Or the Crossbow that launches foam darts up to 15ft once completed. or, if you are feeling adventurous, choose to build the robotic arm that actually lets you pick up,surrounding abject a with its working claw when finished.
*VEX Robotics Ball Machines ($29.99- $39.99) these ball machines allow you to build then crank, turn & connect parts of your machine to launch, transport, move, roll, spiral, scoop pick-up & drop and scoop balls into motion. Watching the gears turn and the axles twist of your newly built ball machine is super rewarding.
