Description
Introduce your children to coding without the use of screens with this fun, hands on beginner coding set. Pair the discs with various loose parts or toys & a DIY grid on your table or floor - loose parts in picture are NOT included. Coding activities help children think about direction, location, & movement while working on counting & math skills. Coding will encourage skills like problem solving, considering multiple paths to arrive at a solution, strategy & planning ahead. Working on coding activities with a partner will also help strengthen communication & listening skills, as well as turn taking. IDEAS FOR PLAYING Create a maze with various toys or loose parts as obstacles & have your child navigate a path through the maze with the directional discs. Take this activity a step further by taking turns giving & following commands (move two spaces down, turn left, move three spaces forward, etc) Retell a favourite story or create your own story using figurines or pictures to represent where the character travels Map out a nature walk, your neighbourhood, how to get to Grandma's house, or create a treasure map For a more advanced activity, set out a coding sentence of directional arrows for your child to follow & translate to movements on the grid.
