Learning ResourcesCoding Critters Bopper, Hip & Hop

This was for our 4 year olds birthday and she loves cats so we knew this would be a hit!It is super easy to program and use. Imogen soon understood how to make it move. It has a simple mode of just pressing the arrow buttons (forward, left, right and backwards). It is a little hard to visualize the distance traveled with the forward and back movements but with a little practice you soon get the hang of making the cat move where you want to.It is a fun a novel toy!It seems well made. The small kitty is cute too and has a magnet which triggers a meow noise which adds to the toy's appeal.Some of the extras are just props to use to navigate around.Outside of the programming mode there is a cute dance mode where the cat moves with music it plays, a sleeping mode, a sentry mode and feeding modes.These are just pre-programmed modes where the cat moves or makes sounds with the press of the buttons.To be fair that is all this toy will do so be mindful of the price. We got this at a really good deal.As for replay value, this will depend if your child likes the programming side of things or whether this will just be something to pick up occasionally to play with just for the sounds.Overall for us, a thumbs up considering the price we paid.

My daughter loves this set. The large cat has arrows on top which enable you to programme it manually. It also has lots of cute accessories which you can make the cat explore via programming their location in.

My nephew liked it straight away (he's 3) but after a week and playing with it with his older sister, he is beginning to understand the ways you can make it move and starting to problem solve to get it where he wants it. I think he will discover more with it over time. A good educational toy.

Granddaughter loves it again great learning product.

The media could not be loaded. My little girl loves this. The bunny itself is really well made. And the way it is programmed is very simple. However the parts that come with it are cheap. The tree stump doesn’t work, the small bunny is supposed to roll off when you press the lever. It just isn’t made well enough so the small bunny doesn’t roll off as the panel inside the trunk doesn’t go high enough. The swing doesn’t stay on. It’s very loose, so doesn’t swing the other bunny. It’s such a shame as the main toy is fab. But for £40 I would have opted for the smaller set. I feel like spending the extra would have given us more, but it’s just given us extra plastic stuff that doesn’t work with the main product. Can’t send it back as she loves the main rabbit. The rest is just sat at the side not being played with because it doesn’t work.

Love this - daughter is dinosaur mad so she loved playing with this and trying to work out how many spaces to move to get to the baby etc. Really easy and simple to use.

This is brill, brought for my little ones as I'm a childminder. So easy to use. They are going to love it. I might need to invest in more.

A lovely toy that is easy to use. A great way for children to use coding. The large dog is good quality, but the other items come apart easily and the cardboard items get bent too easily.

muy buen juguete

Disappointed

You never know what your kids will take to, this toy was immediately loved and is still played with daily now, 3 months later. My daughter is 4 and loves to set up obstacle courses and code it to smash everything. Very happy with my purchase.

Fue regalo para mi nieta y le encantó

This is a cute toy on its own, but it also has the ability to educate without kids knowing it. The "momma" (as we call it) dinosaur has different controls including directions and if you press and hold a button down then the same buttons that act as directions also allow a play mode where the dinosaur can dance and be "pet".We usually start out with a little lesson or challenge, asking my children to work together and take turns, and then after we have worked on it together, the kids like to continue to play with the toys. I like walking into the room and seeing them dance with the dinosaur or teach each other things. If you have dinosaur lovers and want to teach them programming, logic, and taking turns, then this can be a great tool.
