    Such an amazing toy!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was such a fun time with my oldest. It kept him busy for hours at a time. We enjoyed putting it together, trying out different codes and all the awesome things it had to offer. I can't wait to see my other two play with it when they're older!

    A lot of fun

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter thought this was super cool. The website was difficult to get working the first couple times I typed in the website it wouldn't work then finally got it to work. Would be great if there was an app as well.

    Great toy

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this toy as a free sample. My 12 year old with ASD loved the coding aspect of it. He could spend hours doing it. My 8 year old loves the dogs noises and actions. She liked that her brother would make it move.

    Limitless fun + educational

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so thankful this amazing company (educational insights who has so many cool products) sent me a free PYXEL pet code dog to try with my 8 and 15 year old. My family already owns a Zoomer kitty pet robot which was fun but got boring with the same few tricks. The new PYXEL we recieved has so many customize options from tricks, color and even eye shape! My kids favorite was the heart emotes. So many different options you can input, that we haven't even explored them all yet. It also has updates so they can add more stuff as time goes on. You don't have to have it connected to a device at all times. That's just the coding customizing part that my 15 year old uses and loves. You can then put up to 6 commands on the remote to use wherever so my 8 year old loves that part and is now getting more interested in the coding side of it. Giving my 15 year old the opportunity to learn then teach the basics to her sister. Making this one of those toys that has so many options with fun + learning. The instructions were clear and easy to understand with QR code links too. The volume on ours is really low but they made it easy to contact them with questions, I am sure it has a setting somewhere so I will ask the company team later if we don't find it. It comes with a few instructions, but the one on the white paper super helped when we thought ours had a broken leg. We were able to follow the instructions and then it was balanced properly. This seems to be a common issue with videos online on how to easily correct it. I am a homeschool parent so the coding option was super exciting for my whole family, especially now that we are heading into a more technologically advanced world. These are tools they could use later on in life and this toy gives them a headstart. I have even recommended this and the other products educational insights has to offer to my family, friends and neighbors. The price is really good for all the things it does , the updates do not cost money either.

    I would buy this product again

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids were able to program the toy and get it working without any parental supervision or assistance. They both enjoy playing with toy and really love that the dog does basic dog movements.

    A Nice Way To Introduce Coding

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a fun educational toy for children. My child used Bloxy to code their Pyxel dog and we are having fun learning to code commands. I rated this product 4 stars because the initial set up was very confusing. The website on the included instructions no longer exists. So we got the Pyxel functioning by going to Educational Insight's website and following the video tutorials step by step. From there, it was very easy to understand and connect the Pyxel!
