Fisher-Price Code 'n Learn Kinderbot, Interactive Preschool Robot Toy

Oh, this little robot is really too cute and fun! He was a Christmas gift for my three year old who is utterly robot obsessed and Kinderbot was the one thing he asked for over and over. We've played with him a few times and he's really fun I think. He's got fun lights, and colors, and sounds. He comes with a little pamphlet that has "secret codes" that you program him with to do things like roll around in different shapes- like circle, pentagon, rhombus, etc. and also explains what the shape looks like. He also has secret codes for things like "walking the dog" which he barks like a dog and rolls around in the directions programmed in the code, or "bulldozer" and makes bulldozer sounds, and "motorcycle" with corresponding sounds. This is also where you incorporate the added shape accessories, and you can set up an obstacle course with those pieces and program him to navigate it. I know, all of this sounds super challenging, but I promise they are VERY simple commands. Most are three buttons. And of course you can come up with your own commands and make him go any directions you want him to! He also makes cute "whoops" sounds if he falls over/gets knocked over. And he rolls very well on carpet. We have a very plush carpet in the living room and he's had no problem getting around. I think it's a very good start for learning how robotics and programming go together. I dont know if it's me or my son who has more fun with this little robot lol.

My nephew loves this little robot! I bought this for him for Christmas because I like getting him things that help him learn and this robot is really good for a wide age range. He is only 3 years old and doesn't yet understand all the functions, but he loves pushing the buttons and making him talk and move around. As he gets older he can discover new things to do with his robot. The coding is very simple and easy for adults, so I know my little nephew will figure it all out eventually. Of all the toys I looked at with this price point, this one seemed the most interesting and fun. I highly recommend this for anyone with a kid 3 - 6 years old.

My almost 5 year old loves this robot. He really likes all robots from Wally to Transformers. I thought this robot looked a little too babyish for him if that makes sense. But he really loves it and it is definitely good for a wide age range. I gave it to him for Christmas and he hasn’t stopped playing with it. I purchased it from amazon weeks before Christmas. He then found it in a picture of amazons toy catalog and was sooo excited and asked for it. But he didn’t yet know it was already under the tree. My kid is very hyper and struggles to focus on something for long amounts of time. This thing engages him and keeps his attention. He listens to the commands and he’s able to achieve some of the robots codes already. He would have gotten bored with any other toy and he’s not bored of this yet. I really recommend this toy for boys and girls.

I bought this for my 4.5 year old son who is really getting into electronics. The assembly is straight forward and didn't take very long. There is a "secret" code booklet that comes with the robot which tells the user how to code a circle or whatever shape you're going for. You can either follow the codes or make up your own, up to 10 commands. The robot gives good feedback about the code given. If done correctly the robot will do a little dance and praise the coder. I did read in other reviews that it works well on carpet. It does not work well on the carpet we have in our house which is medium pile. Overall, it's a fun gift that introduces basic coding.

Great fun for all

My daughter absolutely loves this robot. She is 3 and doesn't really understand all of the features yet, but can easily play with it and make it move around. It's great that it can grow with her (i.e. the challenge mode) and she can practice her coding skills later on. It seems like a great buy so far!

I’ve waited a while before I reviewed this because my 4 year old often gets easily bored with toys. This robot isn’t cheap so here we go...... this robot is still a huge hit with my daughter. It was difficult at first for her to grasp the concept of how to operate it but we spent time with her showing her how to use the flash cards and follow the patterns ect to get him to do all the codes. She is now coding on her own at 4 YEARS OLD. She actually just turned 4 in April. This robot was worth every dollar I spent on him!!!!!

It took me 30+ minutes to get the robot out of the packaging, another 30 to figure out what it does, and a trip to CVS to get the four C batteries it requires. (Batteries included? Not really. First instruction says replace them immediately.) I was not happy. Despite that start, the robot does a whole lot more than you would guess from the box and instructions: fun preprogrammed actions, code-yourself movements, and a “challenge” quiz that gets progressively harder. Fun lights, music, dance moves. It’s cute, actually, and sturdy, too. My five year old grandson got it all quickly — a useful intro to coding. His three year old brother will get even more years of use from the second one I ordered today.

Es un juguete que aparte de aprender se divierten

隠しコマンドや、自分で基礎的なプログラミングをして、動きをコントロールするロボットです。 プログラミングといっても難しいものではなく、 前に行く 右に曲がる 左に曲がる 後ろに下がる の動きを１０段で設定できるもので、 操作方法は子どもでもわかりやすいものです。 実際の家の中は、ソファーがあったりテーブルがあったり、 脱ぎ散らかした服があったりと、 多様な障害物が存在しており、それらをうまく回避して動作させるなど、 簡単なのに、プログラミング的思考のよい導入、知育に抜群に良いです。 かなり大きめ、迫力がありますが、 ぶつかっても全く痛みません。ものすごく安全です。 動作や日本語音声によるリアクションはとてもキュート。 時折、プログラミングをほめてくれたりもします。 犬の真似などさせるモードでは、 プログラミングした内容をベースに、上手にアドリブが加わり、 動きや息遣いは犬と遊んでいるような気持ちになります。 ロボット系の知育玩具としては、最も優れている品の一つだと思います。 評価としては★5つ。素晴らしい品です。 プレゼントで贈っても貰っても、嬉しい逸品だと思います。 ガチで、超オススメ。★１０個つけたいくらいです。

We bought this robot for our grandson's third birthday, and he is delighted with it. At the moment, adults are helping him with coding commands, but it won't be long before he understands how to do it himself. The directions are clear and easy to implement. It seems pretty sturdy, and we are hoping that he will enjoy it for years to come.

自分で動きを設定して、動かすことの出来るロボット。他の会社からも、プログラミングロボットは出ていますが、ここの会社のロボットは、ちょっと前の時代の近未来SF映画を見ていた世代の人間がイメージするロボットっぽい外見、LOVOTみたいな感じでとても可愛いです。 このロボットは、矢印のコードを押して、設定することで、動きを決められる、自分が行ったことが結果に繋がるということを体感できるロボットです。 まっすぐの矢印を押したから、こう動く、だったらこの順番で押したら？など、はじめは大人主導で遊びましたが、ちょっとするとすぐに飲み込んで、子供同士で遊び始めました。上の子が、こうだよと下の子に教えるのを楽しんでくれたので助かります。 こう動くにはどうすればいいか、紙を用意して矢印で書いてみたりすると更に飲み込みやすくなるかと思います。 ちなみに、紙で書くことを推奨するのは、それが「設計」だからです。 全体の動きを設計して、入力して、入力したとおりに動くのを確認する……まさにプログラミングですね。これを遊びで学べるのはかなり面白いと思います。 なお、まだチャレンジモードやシークレットモードには辿り着いていないのですが、そちらも面白そうでした。

All I gotta say is wow! Perfect for my 3yr old. It’s helping her understand directions better, counting, and colours too. The secret code book is great. It really promotes gross motor activity. She gets down on the floor to pretend she’s the dog or shark. She also teaches it to go one direction in a circle and dances with it.
