4. VTech Codi, the clever painting robot

With the cute robot, you can code, draw, and learn. The sweet robot draws various pre-installed or self-programmed designs and encourages collaborative and continued drawing. It includes 15 double-sided chip cards for learning letters and drawing, a booklet with 40 coding examples, and a pen. Codi recognizes the size of the paper, can hold a pen (7-10 cm in diameter), and responds to the insertion of chip cards as well as the pressing of control buttons. There are three game modes for drawing and coding. In drawing mode, when a chip card is placed in Codi's backpack, it draws the corresponding shape and invites you to join in or continue drawing. In free drawing mode, Codi randomly selects one of 99 designs or games and invites participation. While drawing, interesting facts are shared, and appropriate sound effects are triggered. In coding mode, simple drawings can be programmed by pressing the control buttons. By pressing secret key combinations, Codi surprises with special figures. The 4 LEDs on its face display various facial expressions. It features a child-safe battery compartment, automatic shut-off, and volume control. Demo batteries included. Language: German.

6. Velleman Robot 5-in-1 kit

A series of robot kits for the future engineer. Build this kit and familiarize yourself with the world of electronics, mechanics, or hydraulics in an enjoyable way! This robot (basic level STEM: Science - Technology - Engineering - Mathematics) is designed to inspire students and hobbyists in mechanical engineering and programming. It will also enhance children's analytical and problem-solving skills. Dive into the captivating world of programming with this robot.

The control ring, used to program the movements, is located in the center of the robot. With the segments that can be easily attached to the control ring, you can make the robot move: go straight, reverse, turn right/left, circle, or pause. The more experiences the user gains, the more interesting and challenging the tasks become (e.g., throwing, lifting, playing soccer, or drawing).
 

7. Lexibook Power Puppy

The Power Puppy, a programmable robotic dog from Lexibook, embodies an innovative blend of technology and playfulness. This interactive companion can move in all directions via its remote control and responds to head pats with a dance, reacting to affection signals.

Its versatile abilities, such as sitting, lying down, greeting, playing 'villain', doing push-ups, and a range of other tricks, capture the attention of not just the little ones. The audiovisual experience is enhanced by numerous sound and light effects, including a lit collar. Additionally, Power Puppy playfully aids in learning numbers through different barking sequences. For creative fun, new dances and movements can be programmed, which Power Puppy will then follow, complemented by the "follow me" function for interactive enjoyment. 

8. Velleman Robot 12-in-1 kit solar and hydraulics

With this solar and water-powered robot kit, twelve different animals and robots can be built. Each model features many functional movements. You can choose between a climbing monkey, a crocodile that opens its mouth, a running T-Rex, an ostrich, a spiky attacking scorpion, and a zigzagging buggy. Thanks to the combination of these two energy sources, these robots can move easily. Additionally, they provide great interaction with children. This kit allows kids to actively learn about two forms of alternative energy and playfully inspires them for a clean energy future. Since these models are powered by solar and water energy, they do not require batteries. When exposed to direct sunlight, the robot or animal begins to move. The kit encourages children to play outdoors and motivates them to explore the world. The modeling and movements are based on real animals with their most obvious characteristics (e.g., elephant trunk, Pteranodon wings). While playing, children can recognize these features and observe how they work. When children use their boundless imagination, they can even create entirely new types.

- 12 different animals or robots:
- Monkey
- Dog
- Pterosaur
- Tyrannosaurus
- Elephant
- Crocodile
- Ostrich
- Scorpion
- Forklift
- Buggy
- Excavator
- Off-road vehicle
- Number of parts: 230.
