Coding is fast-growing focus in elementary education and Learning Resources, known for their award-winning hands-on learning toys and games, has created one of the first hands-on introductory coding sets for the age 5+ crowd. Studies show when we use our hands to learn – by writing, by hands-on touch experimentation, etc. – we retain the information much better. With the new Learning Essentials STEM Robot Mouse Coding Activity Set that’s certainly the case and it’s loads of fun too! This set introduces the concept of step programming and challenges children to create, program and problem solve in a simple, exciting way. My daughters were so excited when they saw it arrive. My oldest is about to turn 5, and my youngest is only 3 – but they still had so much fun with it!
