The included activity cards and accessories provide endless opportunities for creativity and learning. The fact that it's a programmable robot is a huge plus, as it allows for both coding beginners and more experienced users to explore various programming concepts. The interactive games and challenges keep you engaged for hours, making it a fantastic tool for honing problem-solving skills and fostering a love for STEM.
It took a bit to hook up to my daughter's tablet. It turns out we had the GPS turned off and the Sphero app needs location services on in order to work properly. Other than that, we had no issues.
Top reviews from other countries
The app itself is very well built - runs excellently and the UI is a joy to use.
The control you can have over the ball is incredible.
Finally, it's nice to see a product that's actually made well. It's a quality item.
In hindsight I probably wouldn't have gone for the full pack - just the ball is more than enough.
Overall, a very happy customer, and well done to the designers.
My 9yo daughter loves it. I would suggest this toy for tech minded kids from 8yo and up.
The robotic ball is well made, the app is simple to use. I suggest purchasing the Sphero carry case along with this. Stores everything nicely.
Highly recommend the Sphero mini and activity kit.
