Coding Critters Go-Pets - Scrambles the Fox

Discover the basics of coding without screens, apps, or complicated tech —just playful imagination, hands-on fun, and a sprinkle of logical thinking. 

This clever little fox follows black-line paths whenever the “on” button is switched on. Kids can build their own winding routes by connecting the path tiles so the black line stays unbroken, and then watch Scrambles scamper along the trail. As kids experiment with left turns, right turns, and straight paths, they’re also exploring the same sequencing and problem-solving skills used in block-based coding on computers and tablets. 

• You can also create your own custom fox trail by drawing a black line (between 3 and 8 mm thick) on white paper. Scrambles will happily follow that path as well.
• The adorable fox needs your child’s help to play its way through the charming storybook included in the set. 
• The included storybook features story-based challenges designed to spark imagination and build problem-solving skills. Children solve the tasks by arranging the path tiles correctly.
• Includes: a colourful storybook, 16 cardboard coding puzzle tiles, Scrambles the Fox, and a quick-start guide in French, English, German, and Spanish.
• Requires 4 LR44 batteries (not included)

Builds an early understanding of coding logic, sequencing, and how technology responds to commands and instructions.

This activity supports essential skills which are wonderful for your child's well-being and ability to learn:

• Stimulates your child's understanding of cause and effect. It gives your child a sense of safety when they're able to predict outcomes and understand their world.

Suitable for children aged 4 yrs. to 8 yrs.

STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math, and the term covers diverse types of play and activities which mix play and learning with an interdisciplinary approach. Furthermore, playing with STEM-based toys and tools sparks your child's interest in the world of science.

Do you know Learning Resources?

As their name suggests, it's important for Learning Resources to provide children with materials that make learning fun.

In particular, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) is at the centre at Learning Resources. For example, your child can learn to explore and experiment, build robots, and learn to code. For educators and teachers, Learning Resources is a learning goldmine. Sorting animals, coding dinosaurs, and math games can really shake things up in the classroom.
