6pc Educo Coding Animals Wooden Logic Toy Educational Kids/Children - 3y+

Introducing a hands-on coding set designed for young children, ages 5 and up, that allows them to learn the fundamentals of coding without the use of technology. This engaging activity, called Coding Animals, incorporates tangible elements such as wooden animals and varied assignment cards to make coding concepts accessible and fun.

The set includes two playing boards featuring different difficulty levels, enhancing the learning experience as children progress. It contains 6 plastic assignment cards for Level 1, which feature wooden animals that help illustrate coding steps, and 12 plastic assignment cards for Level 2, which include directional support via an arrow card.

Children will determine the starting positions of animals based on the direction their noses face and navigate through interconnected roads that are hindered by obstacles such as mud puddles and trees. The assignment cards guide children from one animal to another, specifying preconditions for the paths to take, thereby helping them create their first programming code using arrows to mark the correct solutions. These cards have an increasing degree of difficulty and are self-monitoring.

Key educational benefits include:

- Introduction to Computational Thinking: Children learn to break down tasks into manageable steps.
- Enhancement of Logical Reasoning: Sequencing the movements of animals improves logical reasoning skills.
- Development of Spatial Awareness: Navigating paths with obstacles cultivates spatial orientation.
- Promotion of Collaboration and Communication: Working in groups fosters teamwork and sharing of ideas.
- Building Persistence and Problem-Solving Skills: Children learn to tackle challenges and think critically.
- Support for Early STEM Education: Engaging in these activities introduces basic concepts in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

The set is packaged in a wooden box (33.5 x 22.5 x 7 cm) and includes:
- 2 Plastic Assignment Cards (for two difficulty levels)
- 6 Plastic Assignment Cards for Level 1
- 12 Plastic Assignment Cards for Level 2
- 1 Plastic Card for assistance
- 16 Plastic Cards with arrow symbols

This coding set not only makes learning fun but also lays the foundation for future coding and STEM skills, encouraging children to explore critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration.

Recommended Age (for Toys): 3 years and over
