Even preschoolers can learn the basics of coding. That’s the idea behind this toy, which is aimed at kids ages 3 to 6.
The Code-a-Pillar is made up of different colored sections connected by USB plugs. The sections perform different commands such as go straight, turn right or make various sound effects.
Kids “program” the toy by connecting the various sections in a particular order. While the toy doesn’t teach an actual coding language, it does try to impart some of the same critical thinking and problem solving skills that coding does.
