Hey.
I want to start studying Arduino with my son (8 years old). He really likes robots 
Are there any kits for children?
Please recommend. Thank you
When I decided to use an Arduino Uno, I used the ELEGOO UNO R3 Project Most Complete Starter Kit w/Tutorial Compatible with Arduino IDE (63 Items). I found the kit to be well done.

Thanks, it looks good ... Is there a book in the kit?
It would be nice if it could be a real robot.
Maybe there is something on Aliexpress? Delivery is needed in Russia.
I found a good model of the finished robot at http://ali.pub/3ti2dd
But I decided to find out from the experts ...
I recommend you drop the Arduino and get an electronics kit, something like this.
Lots of learning, and VERY useful as basis when you move on to the Arduino as it teaches you all the basics of electronics, the different components, etc. Fun projects without the complexity of having to work with both software and hardware, the combination of which can be pretty hard at times to get just right. Also pretty much all Arduino projects need external hardware.
These kits are mostly analog electronics, rather than digital, but in the end all our digital electronics are built in an analog world, and time and again we have analog effects messing up our clean digital designs.
When your kid is done with this consider moving on to the Arduino, which will pose a whole new set of challenges and possibilities.

Thank you. I`m agree and let's do it 
Fabulous answer by @wvmarle... (Reply #5)
This could almost be a sticky, but I fear will be misunderstood by many starters.
Thanks I started in electronics with a similar kit - over 30 years ago - and feel I still benefit from it.
Besides, I think 8yo is too young for an Arduino, it's too complex. At 12, 13yo most kids will do a lot better.
