Mini Blue Coding Robot Ball for Kids | Fun STEM & AI Learning and Gaming | For Ages 8+ | Tabletop Friendly

Oh my gosh! What a great price (£25) for this mini sphero. I bought 2. One for each son. I also text all their friends parents and told them to buy them too which they did! The mini does all the same things as the regular sized one, it's great value. Coding is massive in schools right now and this is a great, fun way to help your children understand coding and get ahead of the game.

Played with one of the large models in an Apple store with my daughter. It was great fun. Bought this when on offer for £25 which was an absolute bargain. This was our most played with toy over Christmas and still amuses both adults and children. As my daughter gets older I’ll teach her how to code using the scratch-like interface.

Great fun! A really good way to start conversations with your kids about lots of science and technology concepts!

My 9 year old son loves his Sphero Mini. He downloaded both apps to his Kindle Fire HD10. The educational app allows you to programme the Sphero. It is a small ball that you can control with app. It moves pretty quickly! It comes with some small cones, small bowling pins and a USB charging cable (no plug). There is no case to keep everything in but you can buy those separately which I think I will do. It did need charging out of the box for an hour. The apps downloaded quickly. Bought the blue one for £29.99 which seems about the right price. The shell is thin hard plastic so I’m not sure how durable it will be in the long term. I’m thinking a storage case will help it last as being a ball it’s likely to roll off the shelf.

My son loves this ball. There are 2 apps for it one that allows simple remote controls and some games and another that lets you write programs using a block editor. It works with his kindle fire which is great too.

A fun little toy for my puppy. She loves chasing it around the kitchen!! Only downside is that she’s faster than it so she catches it, picks it up in her mouth and runs off with it to her bed...game over until I retrieve it, again!!

This is great fun, but rather backfired as I got it to go with kindle fires for the kids -but the Sphero mini app isn’t available for amazon App Store. However, I have an iPad-but it means the kids have to use my device to play with it. That wasn’t the plan. Contacting the company to find out when app will be available.

My 9-year old son got one of these for his birthday, after having used the full-sized version at a couple of Apple camps during August. Seems to do everything the full-sized one does, minus the flashing LED panel (who cares?) for a much lower price. Getting it set up and working with the app wasn't great, there are no instructions with the Sphero, and no downloadable instructions on the website - this is an area that needs a lot of improvement. Once up and running however, the software's great, and my son's already had lots of fun using this for school presentations about coding, games with his friends, and building elaborate obstacle courses around his room. Even the cat's intrigued, but too nervous to chase it!

プレゼント用に購入。 かなり喜んでもらえたので嬉しくなりました。 スマホで簡単に操作できるものからプログラミングモードまで色々な楽しみ方があります。 ゲームモードがいくつかあり、みんなで交代で試行錯誤したりイライラしたりしながら操作に慣れていき、うまくいったときは軽く歓声が上がりました。 一緒に遊んだ際には試していませんがアプリで動作を制御するプログラミングができるとのことでそういった感覚を身につけるのにも役立つかもしれません。 総じてみんなの感想は楽しい！でした。

Compré esta esfera para jugar con mi hurón y la hemos pasado increíble. Se maneja bien y la señal se enlaza rápido entre el teléfono y la esfera. El tiempo de carga es un poco largo pero también es cierto que le dura bastante; lo suficiente para cansar a mi hurón.

Super achat pour les enfants mais aussi les adultes. Il y a une application gratuite à mettre sur un tablette pour soit jouer soit apprendre à coder. C'est très ludique. Si on est deux en avoir un, il n'y a pas de problème d'inférence de connexion et on peut faire des courses, des poursuites, etc ... Amusement garanti ! Acheté pour un enfant mais des jeunes adultes ont encore plus appréciés que l'enfant. Ce robot a ravi tout le monde !

Best for kids who like coding good birthday and Christmas gift must buy worth for the price

The light turns on and works but the sphero stopped responding to the commands.
