The Learning Journey Code and Learn! Ladybug

Suggested Age: 5 Years and Up
Educational Focus: Coding
Battery: 5 AA Zinc Carbon, Required, Included
• Introduce basic programming – Children use the coding card deck and the colored grid to program the friendly remote-control ladybug to reach the correct destination. This STEM toy encourages the development of programming skills, providing a basic foundation for the more complex computer skills they will learn later.
• Learn about directions – Guiding the ladybug teaches children about directions and helps them develop their understanding of how to give and follow instructions.
• Boost spatial awareness – Children can also move the ladybug freely using the remote control, boosting their sense of spatial awareness while having fun.
• Encourage problem-solving skills – Working out the correct route to the destination and choosing how to program the ladybug to get there makes use of your child’s developing problem-solving skills.
• Boost self-confidence – Learning new skills and using them to achieve a tangible outcome is a fantastic way of boosting a child’s self-confidence. Games that make learning fun take away any of the worry or doubts that can make it difficult for children to approach a new area of development.
Introduce children to basic programming and coding with these fun, light up, infrared remote control playmates. In mode one, use the coding card deck and color grid map to challenge your child to find the right path to a destination by entering directional instructions into the remote control. Hit go and they will know they got to the right place when the antennae of the ladybug light up the color of the mat square they land on. If it matches the card they are correct! mode two allows your child to “drive” the remote control playmate around for free wheeling fun. A great tool for learning sequencing, directions, problem solving and logic. These products ALIGN with the science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) standards. Requires three AA batteries (included) and two AAA batteries (not included). ages 5+ years.
