This year, Amazon is promoting OSMO Coding toys. If you aren’t certain your child likes to code, try less expensive options. We started with Coji, a simple robot, which is fairly intuitive to code—and cute! Coji is considerably less expensive than many robot toys. We also used MIT’s Scratch with Code Your Own Games. Scratch is free; many libraries have copies of Scratch coding books for kids. Look for inexpensive Kindle e-book Scratch books or used copies of books such as Coding for Beginners Using Scratch on eBay, Thriftbooks, or Abebooks. If your child does like to code, consider joining Steam, which is another option for coding games. Right now, Paul, ten, is obsessed with Autonauts on Steam, a $19..99 game. But there are free games on Steam, too.
