Coding Critters - Ranger & Zip
A playful and completely screen-free way for little learners to explore the basics of coding.
This charming set includes the adorable dog Ranger and his tiny sidekick, Zip.
This 22-piece set includes a doghouse, toys, bones, and much more.
As you read the included storybook together, kids can help Ranger and Zip follow along with the story by pressing the little directional arrow buttons on Ranger’s back.
Each button press moves Ranger approximately 10 cm.
Can Ranger find Zip when he’s playing hide-and-seek? Can he nudge the ball or send Zip zooming down the slide? Work out the right button sequence — maybe “forward, forward, left, left, forward” or another combination — and guide the little Critters exactly where you want them to go.
Ranger also has a fun “Play Mode,” where he can dance a silly dance, enjoy a tasty snack, or curl up for a little nap.
Requires 3 AAA batteries (not included).
What makes this product special
Do you know what STEM means, and why most kids learn better when school subjects mix and mingle?
Read all about STEM, STEAM, and STREAMright here on our blog.Toys for learning through play
Play is essential for children’s learning, well-being, and development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Play helps children:
• stay curious
• focus and become absorbed in what they're doing
• take on age-appropriate challenges
• build confidence
We believe children learn best by doing things for themselves:
• by making mistakes
• by getting messy
• by falling down and getting back up again
Resilience, confidence, and courage grow through experience, one small step at a time.
That's why we carefully choose toys that encourage independence, imagination, movement, and social skills — offering just the right balance of support, freedom, and opportunities to grow.
Carefully selected toys
We carefully handpick every toy from the vast world of toys available today. The only toys that make it into our range are ones we'd be happy to give our own children.
Every toy at ToyAcademy should:
• support learning through play
• be made from durable, high-quality materials
• be safe and enjoyable for children to play with
