mTiny Smart Interactive Screenfree STEM Toy

"First of all, this is a very great, well made Coding Robot STEM Educational Kit, We've had this toy over one month or so, my 3 years old son been opened it up at least once a day to play with it. As long as they have enough attention span would be beneficial for developing their critical and creative thinking skills.
1, This toy is a screen- free leaning tool, no need phones or tablet required to work with. The innovative tap-to-code interaction system and interesting storybook drive kids’ interest in learning.
2, mTiny comes with a tap pen controller and an interactive map, easy and simple to understand how to use, follow the different levels, this remote control toy robot will spark kids passion for discovery and leaning, after finish the full menu book, the kids can mix and match play freely, more creative idea to explore.
3, It's really good for early age leaning numbers, music, directions, and more educational logical thinking and programimg in their mind, if the company provide more maps to keep this going, make kids want to explore more,it will be perfect."

"Wow, what a great toy.

First thing you will notice is that the box is heavy. Much heavier than I expected. The weight comes from the quality play board and programming pieces. These pieces are quality made and will hold up well through play sessions. I didn't expect the play board to need as much room as it did, but it is sturdy enough to use on carpet and assembles like a large thick puzzle.

The toy itself is simple to use. You power on the remote and the robot. You have the choice to free steer or use the program pieces to program what the robot does. That is really the full functionality of what the robot can do, yet the massive amounts of accessories included in the box makes this toy so fun to use. The eyes are super bright and the materials used are of great quality. The included charge is two pronged so one cable recharges both the remote and the robot. I love this added touch.

This was a gift for my 4 year old. I would say the perfect age range in terms of development is 3-5 years of age. My 8 year old had fun with this product, but this unit did not challenge him. For him it was simply a toy, and that's okay. My 4 year old had to figure things out and was rewarded with fun by doing so. I will say that if you don't watch you young one, it's easy for a typical young child to just revert to controlling the robot with the thumb stick which circumvents the key STEM aspects of this product. Please keep that in mind.

Lastly, I will tackle the pricing. After using the product and seeing the quality of puzzle board and programming pieces, not to mention the quality of the robot; I can see why this product is priced where it is. The product is quality, but I only see my 4 year old getting 2-3 months of developmental use from this and maybe a few months to year of use as a remote control after that. It will not have the longevity of say a Nintendo Switch lite which is only slightly more expensive and one could argue developmental wealthy that a Switch may or may not provide. The Nintendo Switch will have far more longevity though as a toy. Now I am not comparing this to a Switch, but just eluding to the fact that many other toys and kid products can be had at this price point or near this price point.

I for one try and buy many toys . I am happy with what this toy provides and the price point is acceptable to me."

I purchased this for my kids a while ago and finally had the occasion to bust it out on a rainy day, now that school is out. My only regret is that I didn't start them playing with it sooner! I am so pleased that they have a coding activity like this that doesn't require them to have their nose in a screen. The dress-up pieces are super cute and add another dimension of play and imagination. I appreciate how the robot and remote charge from the same cord and that it is very clear what is and needs charged, thanks to the icons on the panda's eye screens. We have a lot to learn about and with this system but we are truly impressed this far!

I bought this for my 6 year olds birthday and I was skeptical at first because he's the type of child who puts down toys the first day that he gets them but this one he actually never put down!! it's full of fun! the puzzle pieces are very well-made. it's double-sided as well and it has a sensor in the mat so the robot responds where he lands. he can be taught new things, new direction... you can move him with the remote controller. He can teach your child different things. They can play dress up and it's just so much fun watching my child interact with such an amazing robot toy!
The battery life is really an option and I love the fact that it comes with a really thick two-headed charger cord so you can charge the remote and the robot at the same time.
Everything you need is organized in a neat package and easy to put away when done.
Excellent toy!!

Once we finished the book and played some of the games it was on to the next toy. Wish there was more of a learning component to it or a cool way to build your own story in a fun way. My 6 year old finished everything in 2 days.

3 year old grandson took to it right away, had fun doing early changes and having Mtiny change into kitty or doggy

His 1 year old brother love doing the different expressions. Laughing with Mtiny and delighted when I kiddingly chastised him for making Mtiny mad or cry.

When they settled for a nap myself and my son (both engineers) spent a couple hours “working” with programming Mtiny

Very neat product

Excellent

Purchased this as a gift for a first grade class. Students love coding mTiny especially including facial expressions and giving emotions to their class Panda.

I was a little skeptical about my 3 year old enjoying such an advanced hi tech toy. To my surprise, after teaching him about how the robot works and what games are included with mTiny, he learned everything about it and was able to play with it and enjoy it to its fullest potential. Moreover, this toy is a very good group activity for all friends that come over. It has something to teach even for 8-10 year olds also. They enjoyed making their own programs more than the toddlers.
