Baby’s first robot

This blockhead will teach your child to be smart about coding in no time.

Primo Toys masterfully pairs design and function in Cubetto, a wood robot that takes direction from kids as young as 3 to 6 years old! Amazingly, children who are not yet able to read and write are able to learn the basic concepts of programming when they place wood coding blocks into the Bluetooth-enabled interface board. Children can create their own journey for Cubetto as he travels along the included fabric map, or an adult can read Cubetto’s story, which prompts the child to direct the wood cube to specific locations on the map. Parents will love that this skill can be honed without screentime!
