Learning Resources Code & Go™ Robot Mouse Activity Set, 83 pieces, Ages 4+

I got my 4 year old this to learn over the summer as his teacher said going into reception they learn basic coding. Well I must say he loves it it really keeps his interest and he learnt what to do within 5 mins he loves rearranging the outlay so the mouse can go a different route, he does 1 step instructions atm but you can do more than 1 step at a time. Honestly you will not regret getting this I highly recommend, he asks for it everyday after lunch, I would say do it 1 to 1 though so they really get it. It has prompt cards tunnels cheeses fake little walls and the mouse it's so cool

I bought this as previously used one at work and the children love it. In the video you can see that the mouse does go backwards but in my experience this is just to realign itself. I personally think this is a great item to intoduce technology and coding to young children. It is good quality plastic and the cards are great to.

I was reluctant to buy this for my 5 year old just from reading the other reviews about the mouse drifting slightly but couldn't find anything else on the market that I thought would be better. The mouse does does astray but it takes only a second to realign him and I have to say that my 'gifted' and easily bored 5 year old plays endlessly with this set which was a surprise to us all given how quickly she masters toys and moves on. I think the reason this game is such a success is the different levels you can take it to and the different ability groups this can satisfy; you can start off with very easy circuits (that our 2 year old has a crack on) and can progress to making your own extremely complex mazes with rules such as 'the mouse has to go through all the tunnels before he attempts to get to the cheese' and my husband and I have found this taxing. The age range by Learning Resources states 5-10 year olds but really the upper limit I would say, is adult age because of what you can do with this kit and kids love creating difficult mazes for the adults to try which again, builds on their ability to plan and create a very hard but not impossible circuit. Another con is that the green pieces are not easy for a child to figure out how to slot together so some adult interaction is requied here - but for adults it is realitively straight forward to change around. Battery life is very good.

This is a great alternative to Bee Bots. My daughter has spent hours playing with this, both following the provided cards which set out different board setups with varying difficulty and creating her own. We have not had any of the troubles with the mouse not working that others have reported although I would agree the mouse can sometimes drift off course. The board works best on a table or equally flat surface. We do use ours on the carpet regularly but this can cause the joints in the board to be uneven and send the mouse off course.

Bought for my 7 year old autistic son. He loves it. Great fun for his younger brother too. Better than beebot and half of the price. Couldn't be happier with the purchase.

Lovely piece but a faulty mouse. Changed batteries brought a new pack of batteries. Still faulty mouse.

I'm from Lithuania. bought Code & Go Electric Robot Mouse for my 4 year old (Tipe1 Diabet) kid. I couldnt buy it to Lithuanian adress, so I bought it to UK one. (via mediator service). It came today to us, and.. the mouse doesnt programs (codes). we tryed all the ways.. chaneged baterys, reset, etc. nothing works. the mouse just goes all the way forward or back.. doesnt stop , doesnt turn. (NO info about error like that in manual). I tryed to replace it on amazon.. but becouse Im based in diferent country, and delivery was in UK.. now I just cant do that becouse the only solution is to return in UK drop-off places.. :( So .. becouse my sun is very upset now, (and becouse of that, his glucose in blod "jumped' to 14mmol..) I just bought another "mouse" - for additional ~ 29€ .. thats the storry. :(

Absolutely love this it’s a great way to engage my eight-year-old autistic Son to get him to communicate which way he wants the mouse to go also lots of fun when we get it wrong great way to teach left and right very impressed with this product on the way it’s packaged

My 8 year-old daughter isn't into coding but she loves puzzles. This STEM Robot Mouse Code and Go puzzle game was a great way to get her to learn some basic, structured programming without even knowing she's doing it. This has become one of her favourite puzzle games. She has progressed from the initial mazes provided on the cards to her own devious creations, and that's where the real fun comes from - when she unlocks her imagination and challenges herself. She has added her own home-made set of obstacles and goals to work around. This STEM kit is of high quality production and comes with 16 green surface tiles, 3 tunnels, and a bunch of purple half-length walls that act as dividers (the box says 22, but we received more than that - I'm thinking it was a packaging error? I'm not complaining). There is a robot mouse which requires 3 AAA batteries (not included). The cheese wedge has a magnet in it that allows the mouse to "pick it up" and to annouce when it has achieved its goal. There are 10 large "maze" cards - each card contains two puzzles on it. Solutions are not provided but you don't need them - each puzzle is a series of logical steps. This is how difficulty scales: mazes require more steps (coding actions) as they progress. You are provided with a stack of "action" cards which you can use to "write" your program - your child lays out each step (move, turn, etc...) in a row. When they have completed the logic, they then program it into the mouse, and press go. The mouse then executes the logic and hopefully gets the cheese. There is usually more than one solution per maze, and that's part of the analysis process. All in all it's a good product that my daughter will have fun with for some time. She uses it about once a week; its not a daily toy and I think it would quickly lose its appeal if it was. The mouse can have problems running off the edge of the map or not doing a complete 90 degree turn, and small initial errors compound over larger maps and can be a bit frustrating. Also if you make one mistake while entering the actions into the mouse, you have no choice but to clear it and start all over again. These are minor issues though.

He de reconocer que soy un apasionado de la informática/robótica/electrónica, por lo que es sabido que la opinión de los padres sobre los juguetes de los hijos puede estar condicionada por sus propias circunstancias. Llevaba tiempo buscando algún juguete que sirviera de iniciación al razonamiento lógico y programación para niños pequeños y creo que este lo cumple muy bien. El fundamento básico es un ratón con ruedas al que se le pueden programar los movimientos (avanzar, retroceder y girar a ambos lados), para que se mueva por el laberinto que se haya creado. Aunque parezca muy básico, creo que es muy útil para enseñar a razonar con anticipación a las instrucciones que se quiere que se ejecuten. La calidad del material es buena y viene con muchas piezas para construir los laberintos como se quiera. También se puede usar en otra superficie, pero entonces es más difícil medir los avances que coinciden con la cuadrícula. En mi caso ha sido un regalo para niños de 4 y 5 años y medio; al mayor le ha gustado más y ha cogido la dinámica más rápidamente; al pequeño le cuesta un poco más y programa movimientos más sencillos, pero también le gusta jugar con el mayor. A ambos les ha gustado, aunque seguramente tardarán poco en dominarlo y en que se les quede "pequeño" para pasar a funciones más avanzadas.

Vi leker flitigt här hemma med våra bottar (alla från samma företag). De står alla i barnets rum sedan han var 3 år och fungerar fortfarande 2 år senare felfritt fast än de använts flitigt.

Good quality, I purchased 4 coding mouse. Some are well aligned some do not move in a straight line , slightly misaligned but but a very big deal.
