Sphero Indi at-Home Learning Kit - Screenless Coding Robot for Kids 4+ - Build Mazes, Learn Computational Thinking - Problem Solve Like an Engineer - Educational STEM Toy for Creative Minds

I have a 4 and 5 year old they really love this thing. I would say the very first day we opened it we got at least 3 hours of entertainment time and during that time it was something they could play with together without me needing to directly sit there and help them. Definitely promotes creative thinking and problem solving. We loved this little robot programming thing. My only suggestion for improvement would be to make the little color tiles a bit sturdier (we also have a baby crawling around and several of the tiles got bent/folded (they still work, but the car can sometimes get stuck on the bent ones). Otherwise love it and I feel like they learn a lot from it, also really nice to have something non-screen that keeps them busy for a long time. Would highly recommend.

I’ve used Sphero Indi many times in the classroom and love the class sets, but I bought an individual one for my child for home. The robot itself is awesome for pre-readers to learn some basic algorithms and problem solving - but the quality of the color cards is not good for little ones. They get bent very easily and then don’t lay down flat for the robot to move over. I wish I had read more carefully because I would not have purchased this set.

We missed it the first time ordering but the “at home” version has more cards they’re just made of card stock and have to be taped down. We sent it back for the more expensive “student learning” version and the rubber cards are awesome. Save yourself some frustration and go with the more expensive version. It also comes with a nice case.

Tactile block based programming. Great way to start kids on logic based coding.

Ordered this on a Friday. It was delivered on a Sunday for a StemX camp that Monday. I taught robotics and coding to first second and third graders for the week. Started building Legos moved on to Sphero Indi then to the Sphero boltz, ended with Lego mindstorm coading on the Ev3. What a fun week! The kids absolutely loved the Indi!
