Educational Insights PYXEL A Coder’s Best Friend, Coding & STEM Toy, Kids Ages 8+

I am really impressed with this toy. It's a great way to start my kid learning computer programming and being able to switch between Blocky and real Python coding is really cool. Quality toy that can grow with her skills. It also makes it more tangible for her since she can see the dog doing the tricks she just coded. Took a bit to figure out the device wifi connection because browsers default to https for URLs and the local connection to the device is just http. I like that it's not using an internet connection outside of downloading updates. The remote doesn't always connect but haven't spent much time troubleshooting it to be fair, and I'm guessing it's user error.

I usually love toys from Educational Insights, and this one is no exception. It's a cool concept that kids love. And even better, Walmart is selling it for about 1/3 of the price from the EI website, making it a great value.

This is a great basic coding toy, my eight year old Granddaughter loves the toy! She was able to read the instructions and along with the quick start coding and pictures, she was able to immediately enjoy it right away.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the idea of increasing my knowledge of coding. Pixel is fun and a great way to learn.

great toy. my daughter loves it.

Great toy to start programming for kids

It is definitely engaging but you have to get all the information about all it's abilities it has to get the best use

It is very cute. I just think it should be a little bit bigger other than that, it is a very cute fun toy for kids.

I got this for my son. He has learnt programing, so I thought this would be a perfect toy for him. He could easily use blocky for coding. I wanted him to learn python programing and this toy is very well executed. But I thought the resources for it are lacking. I would have liked to see more details on the dog's attributes in python. That is a let down. Otherwise a very good toy for programing.

Doesn't work well and I'm great with technology. How annoying. The concept is excellent , it just straight up doesn't work. My internet connection is top notch and it flat out doesn't stay connected long enough to do anything with it. It was a Christmas present fail. Looking for a replacement now.
