Learning Resources Code & Go Robot Mouse Activity Set
Build a maze, plan the route, and code a mouse to the cheese
These are the gifts we would wrap for our own families: toys that get played with long after the paper is cleared away, and that quietly teach something real. Use the age filters to narrow it down, and save favorites to a shareable list for the relatives who always ask what to get.
Our three favorites from this guide. The full list follows below.
“Best for kids who love building towers, houses and garages.”
“Best for kids who enjoy spatial puzzles they can solve on their own.”
“Best for kids who love smashing things and asking why it works.”
