Codding Critters is a collection of toys by Learning Resources. Each product is geared toward teaching kids the early concepts of STEM. The approach of these educational toys is based on a screen-free storybook, in combination with small pet toys.
Kids are tasked with solving various coding challenges in the book that help the critters navigate objects. Moreover, the Coding Critters also double "as cute interactive pets," when they are set to 'Play Mode.' Here, kids can "feed, pet, and take care" of the critters.
Learning Resources makes these tiny, adorable pets available in kits that cost between $7.99 and $39.99. With a total of eight different iterations of Coding Critters, three of them are award-winning. These include the 'Rumble & Bumble,' the 'Ranger & Zip,' and the 'Scamper & Sneaker' sets.
