Learning Resources Botley the Coding Robot Activity Set

by Sarah

Help develop your child’s STEM skills with this adorable Botley coding robot. Suitable for children as young as 5, Botley’s advanced features allow him to grow with your child, helping them to learn screen-free coding.

Learning Resources Botley the Coding Robot Activity Set

Developed by Learning Resources, Botley is a 2019 finalist for the Toy of The Year awards. Here, we’ll look at some of the robot’s key features and benefits to help you decide whether or not it’s the right gift for your child.

100% screen free coding

Typically, coding robots need to be controlled via a smartphone or tablet app. However, one of the great benefits of Botley is that he can be controlled remotely away from the screen.

You don’t even need to download an app to get started – he’s ready to be used right out of the box. You’re supplied with a small, colorful remote programmer which your child will find super-easy to use.

Helping to aid development and creativity

Botley comes with a 77-piece activity set designed to aid development and creativity. Your child will need to learn how to problem solve as they code Botley to navigate around objects.

There are 27 different obstacle building pieces included, allowing your child to create numerous fun obstacles to challenge the robot. It also comes with 40 coding cards, 6 double-sided tiles, detachable robot arms and a starter guide packed full of coding challenges for your child to solve.

Advanced features for years of play

When you buy Botley, you’ll be investing in your child’s future. He comes with advanced features to ensure that he grows with your child.

When they master the basic coding skills, they can move on to more advanced challenges. Kids can code Botley for up to 120 different steps. He can follow a loop of commands or use his impressive smart logic to detect objects and find a way around them.

Great hidden features to be unlocked

As if Botley wasn’t exciting enough, he also comes with lots of hidden features that can be unlocked. Your child will love overcoming the challenges and unlocking these secret features.

It’s worth noting that you will need to purchase 5 AAA batteries as they don’t come included in the box.

Overall, it’s not hard to see why Botley is considered one of the best coding robots available to buy. He’s fun, cute, intelligent and provides great developmental benefits, especially in terms of STEM skills. So, if you’re looking for an affordable, fun and education gift for your child, Botley is worth considering.
