Children's company Little Tinkerer created the new MangoBot toy as a fun way for children to learn and develop essential STEM skills. The toy teaches kids the basics of coding through physical and entertaining play, without having to use a screen.
By minimizing the use of a screen, the company has created a device that gets young people playing and learning about technology without being reliant on screened devices. The toy has kids simply connect commanding blocks together to direct the MangoBot around the specific map, controlling its facial expressions and helping children understand emotions as well.
The new MangoBot toy from Little Tinkerer is available online now for $180, as an interesting and engaging way to introduce children ages three and up to coding.
