At least it's not too expensive, so I might get it for him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/robot-for-5-year-old#post-2861740 Wed, 12 Dec 2018 15:19:28 +0000 erinbaderin 2861740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I asked this same question on another thread and Mrs Champagne recommended Botley the Coding Robot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/robot-for-5-year-old#post-2861731 Wed, 12 Dec 2018 14:44:38 +0000 Ajsmommy 2861731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about these... I think they look pretty cool and plan to get them for DS when he's older</p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Mnio-Alphabet-Transform-Entry-Level-Combinate/dp/B078HKTN4Q/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1544643852&#038;sr=8-1-spons&#038;keywords=alphabots&#038;psc=1" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Mnio-Alphabet-Transform-Entry-Level-Combinate/dp/B078HKTN4Q/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1544643852&#038;sr=8-1-spons&#038;keywords=alphabots&#038;psc=1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/robot-for-5-year-old#post-2861718 Wed, 12 Dec 2018 14:15:34 +0000 JennyPenny 2861718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do a lot of work in CS education and for elementary grades I would recommend Dash or Sphero. BB-8 (which is basically a themed Sphero) would also be a good choice if he's into Star Wars. BUT that is if you're looking to use it to teach coding concepts. If you aren't, then I think you could get by with a much simpler/cheaper RC version. Ozobot is also pretty fun to play with, especially if your son likes drawing too, but he doesn't have as much educational value. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/robot-for-5-year-old#post-2861713 Wed, 12 Dec 2018 13:58:05 +0000 tinyperson 2861713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 6yo wants a dash or dot robot (<a href="https://www.makewonder.com/robots/dash/" rel="nofollow">https://www.makewonder.com/robots/dash/</a>) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/robot-for-5-year-old#post-2861711 Wed, 12 Dec 2018 13:54:15 +0000 HappyBaker 2861711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been looking into this one for my 4 year old - I like that it doesn't require an app to run, and it looks like it can sort of grow with them in terms of challenges to make it do.<br /> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Learning-Resources-Botley-Coding-Activity/dp/B077MRB975/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1544640804&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=botley" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Learning-Resources-Botley-Coding-Activity/dp/B077MRB975/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1544640804&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=botley</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/robot-for-5-year-old#post-2861709 Wed, 12 Dec 2018 13:53:50 +0000 mdf106 2861709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kindergartner got the Sikaye Remote Control Robot for Chanukah and loves it. The instructions are not very good, but it was not very expensive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/robot-for-5-year-old#post-2861703 Wed, 12 Dec 2018 13:33:36 +0000 Alba4 2861703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On a recent visit to Santa my Kindergartner told Santa that he wants a robot. Does anyone have any ideas or experience in this arena? I’ve looked online but I’m not sure what to get. I asked what he wanted the robot to do; he said clean🤣. Maybe I should get a roomba! </p>
