Kids First: Coding Robotics Kit

About this product

The Kids First: Coding Robotics Kit by Thames & Kosmos is an educational toy designed for children in kindergarten through second grade. It features a small robot named Sammy, shaped like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, that teaches foundational coding concepts through hands-on play. Children program the robot using physical command cards to move across a grid made of map cards, activate its output gear, light up LEDs, and play sounds. The kit includes six story-based challenges involving a mouse, penguin, soccer player, fire truck, and factory robot, each with model-building and coding lessons. Activities cover sequencing, loops, events, conditionals, functions, and variables. The kit comes with a 64-page illustrated manual, requires no software or devices, and supports learning from ages 3 to 8 with adult assistance.
