Who likes to play with robot toys and building kits?

LEGO® robot building toys are the perfect gift for boys and girls of all ages. Even if it seems like your child doesn’t have an obvious interest in coding, their curiosity will almost certainly be sparked once they get the chance to build a robot of their own.

Nearly any hobby or interest your child loves to engage in can act as relevant entry points to robotics and programming. Whether it’s kittens, music, remote-controlled cars, science fiction gadgets, or they generally just enjoy taking things apart to find out how they work and put them back together, your child can be inspired to create a robot that reflects their unique personality and interests, with speech, songs, sounds, lights, movements and interactions.

What can you build with LEGO® robots – and how?

Anything you can imagine. With LEGO® robots, your child will quickly learn how coding skills are used in robotics and how to incorporate these skills in their own robots, machines and designs. The programming software is super easy to use. Simply drag and drop intuitive icons and coding blocks to add movement, functions, timing and interactions into a chain, press ‘play’ and see what happens. That’s all it take to make your child a coding ninja in no time.
