Why it works
It teaches the basics of coding: thinking through a sequence of steps, giving the robot the command and seeing whether it gets where you wanted. The cards set challenges and there are tasks for two, so it is more than a toy for one. With its cardboard outfits it turns into a dragon, a wizard, a fairy or a knight.
Our verdict
A first taste of coding between the ages of 5 and 7. For over-8s, a robot you build, such as the Betabot, is better.
