Product Information

Robot toys have really grown in popularity in recent years. Fun, intelligent and interactive, there are a wide range of robot toys to choose from, suitable from the toddler years right through to options for tweens and teens.

Whether you’re after a coding toy for beginners, a robot coding toy or a coding board game that the whole family can play together, here are the best coding toys that make learning fun. Engaging Learning Experience: Coding robots make learning programming fun and interactive. They engage users and provide hands-on experience in a playful manner. The Dash robot is fab, they have them at my daughter's school and I've been able to play with them a few times. I'm going to get one for my daughter for her birthday - she will be six but it grows with them as the tasks get more and more complicated.” (Tried and tested by Mumsnet user Jerseysilkvelour) This means you can actually set up some fairly sophisticated coded actions and keep adding new and different actions that the robot will follow sequentially. Botley is a coding robot designed for children. He can be programmed to do a variety of tasks, including moving around and responding to commands. He is also affordable and easy to use, making him the perfect robot for young children.They're brilliant! My children played with them loads. They don't break easily. We had several different kits” (Recommended by Mumsnet user MyOtherProfile) Our verdict Seznamte se s Botleym! Programovací robot pro děti nabízí obrovské množství zábavných aktivit a her. Nyní si můžete přečíst jeho kompletní recenzi. Pokud chcete své děti naučit programovat, Botley nabízí spoustu kreativních programovacích aktivit, a navíc nevyžaduje počítač ani aplikaci, což umožňuje naučit děti programovat bez sledování obrazovky. Pokud jde o STEM hračky, Botley je jedním z nejoblíbenějších programovacích robotů! Ahoj, Botley! Botley is also able to perform loops, which are an important part of making computer programming efficient. Loops are fun for kids to design. Finally, Botley is able to think on the fly! More complex coders can understand how to program Botley for an “If, then” sequence. If Botley detects an object in his way, what will he do? This is one of the more sophisticated features of the Botley coding robot. Botley Robot Activities If you’re after a coding game that the whole family will enjoy, Turing Tumble is a really popular choice amongst the Mumsnet community, with users not only singing its praises but admitting to enjoying it almost as much as the kids.

Sphero is even intelligent to know whether it’s light or dark, with some programming conditions that can depend on brightness. Whilst Sphero has no sound, the built-in 8x8 LED display can be programmed to show messages, display animations and change colours based on kids’ commands. ProsWith most younger kids and coding the goal isn’t so much to teach them a coding language per se, rather the idea is to get them started with the logical thinking and step by step nature of coding. If you’re looking to introduce your child to some basic elements of computer science but don’t want to pay the significant price tag often associated with coding toys, Galt Cosmic Coding is a fun, budget-friendly choice. Key specs: Recommended Age: Ages 8+ | Batteries included: Yes, 1 LR44 battery included. Reasons to buy: Most kids age 5-8 would enjoy this robot and find it challenging! Especially if they do not have a lot of experience with coding. After age 8, or for advanced coders, the Botley coding robot is more limited. For coders over age 8 looking for more of a challenge we recommend the Edison robot. What coding skills are taught with Botley the robot?

Botley 2.0 can remember 150 steps (as opposed to the older models that remembered 80), and remembers the steps you’ve programmed in before unless you actively delete them. Botley is a great way for kids to learn problem-solving skills and build confidence in their coding abilities. He’s perfect for beginners who are just starting out in coding, and he can help teach kids the basics of coding, such as sequencing commands and loops. Balíček příslušenství Botley Robot Action Challenge je naprostou nezbytností a nejlepší součástí programovacího robota Botley. Sada příslušenství o 41 dílech umožňuje vytvořit řadu super zábavných řetězových reakcí, ze kterých budou děti naprosto nadšené! Mohou totiž sledovat, jak která řetězová reakce probíhá, což je motivuje k procvičování si programovacích dovedností. Závěrečné shrnutí Thanks to the popularity of dinosaur toys at present, kids will be fascinated by this stomping roaring T-Rex who appears to move completely by himself! Prepares for the Future: With technology rapidly advancing, learning to code at an early age is a valuable skill. Coding robots provide a stepping stone into the world of programming and future-proof your abilities.Coding toys come in lots of different formats and styles, but essentially all focus on a similar concept - introducing your child to the fundamental skills and behaviours associated with coding and computer programming. Coding toys can not only teach children how to physically create code, but also other important skills such as problem solving, critical thinking, persistence and logic. They’re a great way to spark your child’s interest in STEM subjects, which can be a huge benefit to their long-term education. How to choose a coding toy for your child Learning Resources also offers a variety of printable including mazes and obstables to print out and use at home or in your classroom. You can find these here. Parental involvement is still necessary, especially at first. The manual is detailed but can be a bit overly technical, it is clearly written for a parent to read first and then teach later. Batteries Botley is aimed at children aged 5 and above. He can be used to teach kids the basics of computer programming in a fun and interactive way.
