We recently received Dash robot from Best Buy!  He is super cute and the kids LOVE playing with him so much I wanted to share a few of reasons I think Dash robot rocks for teaching kids code as well as playtime.

Reasons Dash Robot Rocks for Teaching Kids Code & Playtime

Learn code from Dash robot a native speaker

Dash robot can help teach children code while they have fun with the free apps that you can easily download on your smartphone or tablet.  Dash makes learning code fun by singing, dancings and navigating around your home.  Dash has sensors on him so she can react to his environment, even the kids!

Our kids need to learn to code

In today’s world coding is a revered job skill but by the time our children enter the workforce the ability to code will almost be expected by everyone.  Similar to working a computer is for us I would guess.  Kids learn language best while they are young and coding is no different the sooner the better.

Freeform play

Dash gives you kids hundreds of awesome puzzles, challenges, and projects so they can learn while having fun without getting bored of the same old thing.  They have plenty to keep them from getting bored.

Problem-solving for the future

Dash not only makes learning coding fun for your kids it gives them problem-solving and creative skills they can hold onto forever and use in the future.

He is just cute, kids of all ages can learn and play with Dash

Seriously, my kids are out of town for two weeks and I have played with Dash every day for a bit.  He is loads of fun, there are plenty of fun games, puzzles, and more to choose from and he is amazingly cute!

You can even get accessories for Dash

With Dash robot, you can include things like the Wonder Workshop xylophone setup!  This helps Dash create beautiful music for him to dance to.  Plus your kids can make songs or remix a sample song from the library while they learn concepts such as sequencing and loops.    It’s super easy to connect the Wonder Workshop xylophone to your Dash robot using the predetermined connection points.

Oh, and how can one forget about the Wonder Workshop – Dash Launcher!  How awesome is this?  With the Wonder Workshop Dash Launcher, your child can use Dash and the awesome projectile launcher with the Wonder Workshop launcher.  It’s an awesome accessory for Dash and can help teach your children the basics of the lever.  The Launcher comes with six targets and three projectiles and works using LEGO-compatible bricks.
