Did you see our post about Cubetto, the cute little coding robot from Primo Toys a couple of weeks ago? We’ve been playing with him non stop ever since and started to add our own little twists, like LEGO walls and watching him push a cardboard tube along. My 8 year old has become quite adept at navigating Cubby ( as we affectionally call him ) through lego mazes, and I’m really impressed with how his use of directional language and building blocks of repeating code has improved in such a short space of time. When we first used Cubetto, it would take him several tries to get the code right, and now it’s pretty much correct first time.
The Cubetto Playset is definitely a great addition to our coding kit.
You can see Cubetto in action in this little video.
We were sent a Cubetto for the purpose of this review

Cubbeto is definitely on my husband’s and daughter’s Christmas list this year. The tools to teach children citing will definitely keep growing. Enjoy!
This is such a fun way to make coding interesting for kids and you have explained it so well. It would help many to get their kids interested in coding. Thanks for sharing!
