Fun and Educational
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fun for the kids. I bought this for my home daycare and the little ones enjoyed watching the dog move around on its own. The older kids really enjoyed learning about coding and getting the dog to move on the right path

Cute but doesn't move like the coding mouse
My pre-k scholars love the coding mouse and I was hoping this could add some variety to their coding activities. Unfortunately, Coding Critters doesn’t move and turn like the Learning Resources coding mouse, making it difficult to use with coding mats or coding pathways. Cute but disappointed with the results.

So much fun
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We really enjoyed doing this as a family. Both my kids enjoyed playing and coding and I enjoyed watching and laughing along side of them. This is a great way to teach younger kids to code and learn while they are having so much fun and don't even realize it's teaching them things. I recommend this to everyone who has younger children looking to learn and have a great family fun time.

Stopped working after a week
I got this toy for my son on his 4th birthday a few weeks ago. He was so happy and loved playing with it. He loves dogs. Then after a few uses it stopped working. I changed the batteries twice but it still won't turn on. My baby is so sad now and I'm upset that he's upset. Don't buy this toy. It's not reliable and poorly made.

Fantastic, educational fun!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This toy is amazing! When the instructions, even an adult who knows nothing about coding can learn and have fun with the Coding Critters. My niece loves the adorable figures and can't wait to be able to visit so she can play and learn again.

Perfect for beginners!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Learning Resources Ranger and Zip coding critters was really fun to play with. My son is 5 and he loved trying to figure out how many paw steps were needed to get to each location. (The slide, see-saw or dog house) It was a little difficult at first trying to explain code mode vs play mode but my son was able to get the hang of it quite quickly. In code mode it is a little frustrating figuring out placement for the paws to get the toys. Play mode was a ton of fun having ranger roll along throughout the house and explore. Overall it's a great educational toy for little beginners to see how things work. Pros- Easy assembly and clear instructions Cons- Sometimes the paws make it difficult for your critter to get to its destination.
