What owners single out
In their words
“My kid loves this. Requires a good bit of parental (or older sibling) involvement but really is a fun way to introduce basic computer logic.”
Elizabeth · verified purchase · rainbowresource.com
“Overly complicated and boring. The name is misleading as there’s nothing interactive or interesting about the game. Playing with Bee-Bot coding robots is easier for kids and far more enjoyable.”
