    Wish it was more challenging
    This coding game has a play mode and a coding mode. The coding mode is super simple, it has not been a challenge at all for our 4 year old daughter. I think a more appropriate age would be 3+ Years but she does enjoy playing with the puppies and the accessories it came with.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Una manera muy entretenida de iniciarse en la programación y codificación
    Reviewed in Spain on December 28, 2019
    A principio de año pasamos por unas clases extraescolares de robótica para que mi niña de 5 años pruebe esto que le gusta tanto y allí habían juguetes como éste animalito, para programar y crear cada niño sus circuitos individuales. Finalmente, por cuestiones de horarios no pudimos matricular a la peque en estas clases, pero después de tener este juguete en casa creo que ya no las echará tanto de menos.

    Realmente es un juguete pequeño y sencillo con accesorios simples que se montan en 2 minutos, lo que tiene de novedoso y lo que lo hace especial es el hecho de poder codificar sus movimientos y esto se hace a través de unos botones en forma de cruz que tiene el perrito grande llamado Ranger en la espalda. Los botones indican adelante, atrás, derecha e izquierda y pulsando el botón del centro es cuando el perrito sigue la dirección que previamente se ha codificado.

    Dentro de la caja vienen:
    ✔️ Ranger, el perrito grande que es el que se codifica
    ✔️ Zip, el perrito cachorro que usamos como meta a conseguir
    ✔️Una caseta grande con un par de setos que la sostienen
    ✔️ Un tobogán
    ✔️ Un balancín
    ✔️ Una pelota grande que tiene imán
    ✔️Huellas de cartón para formar los diferentes circuitos
    ✔️ Un árbol de cartón
    ✔️ Una boca de riego de cartón
    ✔️ Libro tipo folleto con propuestas de retos a seguir a partir de una historia

    Todo en una pequeña cajita que se puede usar para tener todo recogido una vez se ha terminado de jugar. La idea del juego consiste en delimitar un circuito usando los accesorios antes mencionados que forman como un parque, con las huellas se van creando recorridos y se deja el cachorrito Zip como objetivo a conseguir para que Ranger, una vez codificado, haga el recorrido y llegue hasta el cachorro, cuando se encuentran se pegan mediante un imán y ladran.

    La idea es muy buena, combinar robótica con mascotas es un acierto total. Tambíen se puede jugar e interactuar con la pelota ya que también como he mencionado antes, está imantada. Este juego puede ser muy sencillo o muy complejo, cada quien se adapta a su nivel y crea sus propios circuitos a su gusto.

    En casa estamos encantados con Ranger y además su diseño es muy bonito, tiene una carita tierna y entrañable que le gusta a todos los peques.

    Por último, sólo recalcar que las pilas que necesita para funcionar son 3 del tamaño AAA que NO vienen incluídas, así que habrá que tener en casa antes de regalárselo al peque. También me hubiese gustado que el librito o folleto de color sea de un material más duro que se pueda poner de pie sin caerse, ya que se usa mucho durante el juego y no es muy práctico tenerlo en horizontal.

    Por cierto, el librito viene con las indicaciones en inglés que para nosotros no es problema, así mi niña va practicando también con la lectura en ese idioma que es tan importante aprenderlo de forma lúdica y en casa lo fomentamos bastante.

    En general, un juguete estupendo, una excelente oportunidad para iniciarse en la robótica, aprender lo que es programar, secuenciar, a codificar sin el uso de pantallas, a desarrollar habilidades de anticipación, planificación, de cálculo, a aprender a trabajar con ensayo sin frustrarse y de paso a practicar inglés sin darse apenas cuenta. Muy recomendable!
