Buildy Bots teaches children all about coding without requiring any screen time. By using short-distance wireless technology (NFC) paired with coding blocks, pictures are used to make coding happen without screen reading.
A big advantage of Buildy Bots is that it ages with your child! Starting at age 5, your little one can build simple little machines. As their motor skills develop, they can move onto code sensors, remote controlled robots and even create exciting new designs.
Designed for small hands to grip this combination of easy lock nuts and bolts make assembly is fun and easy. Watch this short clip to see just how much fun Buildy Bots really is!
It’s an ideal toy for both play and exploration. Kids as young as 5 can improve their fine motor skills.

I like Buildy Bots because it makes building super easy for small children. Its solid frames and smooth edges are simply designed for tiny hands to grip and hold. Another aspect that I find interesting is that the motors and sensors connect easily and there’s no need for extra tools, making it easy for little minds to figure out!
It teaches children to code and work with robots at the same time! Young builders can use the remote control until they’ve learnt to code. It’s a hands-on coding toy that uses music, LED lights and sensory objects to teach your little one all about coding while having fun and being entertained at the same time!
