WhalesBot A1 Coding Toy for Kids, Building Block Robot, Fun STEM Toy with Magnetic Controller and Sensor Blocks, Screen-Free Coding with 3 Guide Books for Kids 3-6

My 3 year old loves it. So engaging and educational. Very fun for adults and kids to play together

My grandson enjoyed putting it together and ending up with an outcome. It gets kids to think while having fun.

Great for pulling young minds away from video games. Hours of play and learning. My 5 year old loves this.

My son has gone a bit crazy with this thing since he got it and is having an absolute ball. It's 100% worth the money and keeps them away from TV, tablets, and video games which I believe is extremely important for young kids. You want to mold their minds and use their brains. Not drain them on TV and tablets(though I think some video games can present problem solving and dexterity so not going to rip on that as much). Anyways the instructions are great and he's can play with it for literally hours and honestly if I can get peace and quiet that is what matters to me.

I thought it would make a good gift but, unfortunately it draws very little interest between our 3 kids (ages 2, 5, 6). Additionally I noticed that, between the age at which a child will actually be able to play with the toy as it's intended and the age at which a child will be able to actually start coding, there's not a big difference. Perhaps it's the perfect toy for some, but it unfortunately wasn't for my kids

When I opened this kit, I was blown away by the sheer content of what's included. The instructions are colorful and easy to follow. The components are large and easy to assemble. The possibilities are only limited by the imagination. Definitely a neat concept to introducing STEM education.Having said all that, I feel this kit would be better suited for the higher end of the recommended age range (maybe ages 5+, unless you're raising a mini Elon). Our 3.5 year old understands the concept of blocks and had a blast randomly putting things together, but is too young to really benefit from the STEM aspects of this kit. Maybe in a year or two we'll revisit this kit and get into actually building operational vehicles.

The media could not be loaded. My child is Obsessed!! My child is 4.5 and has been inlove with anything “robot” since he could choose a toy at the toy store. He found these blocks on Amazon and watched the video, and was hooked, he asked for them from Santa, and Santa brought them! It’s now February and while every other Christmas toy is mostly ignored, he Still plays with these bloc's daily. Together we made the instructed mechanical things, the first day or two:; the airplane, helicopter, camera, etc. but when he’s alone he prefers to make his own things using his imagination. He will sit for hours building and rebuilding something new with some sort of spinning device (because that’s basically all it does) but the number of ways he has changed it to look new and do different stuff is incredible! I promised we’d be getting him the next set up, for his 5th birthday in April. It’s such a great STEM toy for a kid who loves building and loves robotics/electronics, like mine.

This is an impressive set. Many, many pieces, including two controllers, one of them can be controlled wirelessly with a Bluetooth remote control.My kids are hooked, and I am impressed how quickly they picked up the input/output concept for the sensors and actuators, something this kit makes it very easy to learn.I can't recommend it more, specially if you are lucky enough to purchase it during a promotion.
