Robots not only fascinate with their versatility and functionality, but also offer an exciting interface for children. This is why robots are in demand as educational toys for children. The youngest generation can playfully immerse themselves in the world of technology and programming.
Jazwares Toys: Bringing Imagination to Life with Innovative Playthings
What are the trends at the Spielwarenmesse 2016 in Nuremberg? Messe.TV presenter Klas Bömecke visits the Jazwares stand - because the exhibitor has a large product range and is also presenting a lot of new toys at this year's toy fair. Klas Bömecke can't avoid one topic... Jazwares Toys - Plush Chewbacca + robot dogTinkerbots: Build, Play, and Learn with Robotic Construction Kits
We are already familiar with the topic of robotics from other trade fairs - such as AUTOMATICA in Munich - but the fact that we can now also find it at the Spielwarenmesse 2016 comes as a surprise, and only at first. After a quick check, Messe.TV presenter Klas Bömecke ... Tinkerbots Robotic construction kitSilverlit: Learning to program toy robots
Learning to program as a child - the robots from Silverlit are designed to make this possible. Stephen Chi from Silverlit shows us how it works. You can program up to 50 instructions for the MacroBot and the HeroBie becomes an alarm clock or fitness trainer. Watch our v... Silverlit ToysDash learning robot – learn programming through play with an app, lights, and accessories
The Dash learning robot gives children intuitive access to the world of programming. Developed in Silicon Valley by former Google and Apple engineers, Dash is aimed at children aged around five to ten. Playful, colorful, and interactive, the robot teaches important codi...

Programmable toys are a clear trend this year. This is also a theme at LEGO and LEGO BOOST is a real hit. The set can be used to build figures such as Vernie the robot, a cat or a guitar. Once the building blocks have been assembled, they can be programmed and controlle... LEGO BOOST - build, program, playAnalogue construction and digital education in play - technology and everyday life
Play has changed fundamentally in recent years. Children today grow up in a world where digital applications are just as commonplace as classic building blocks. The digital and analogue worlds united in playLearn programming with robots: between toy and education
The transition from classic toys to digital learning tools often happens gradually. Only at second glance does it become clear that these toys offer not only new functions, but also new educational approaches. The Cue robot is a prime example of this development. It bui... Learn programming with Cue robotWhy simple play ideas often develop the greatest appeal
It is not always the most complex concepts that remain in the memory the longest on the toy shelf. Sometimes all it takes is a simple idea, a clear mechanism and a harmonious interplay of movement, reaction and reward. It is precisely this combination that makes some ga... Electronic pet: Robo ChameleonBy interacting with robots designed specifically for learning and educational purposes, children can learn the basics of programming and technical understanding in a fun and interactive way. These special robots are not just toys, but are equally educational tools that help children develop logical thinking, problem-solving skills and creativity. Many of these educational robots are equipped with user-friendly programming languages and simple development environments designed specifically for children. Often built on drag-and-drop elements that allow children to put together blocks of commands. In this way, the robot is told what to do. This intuitive way of learning reduces the complexity of coding to a playful element, making it accessible and fun.
The importance of acquiring programming skills at an early age cannot be overestimated. We live in an increasingly technology-oriented world. Giving children the opportunity to understand the basics of coding at a young age will both prepare them for the digital demands of the future and spark their curiosity for scientific and technical fields. Overall, educational robots offer an exceptional resource for parents and teachers to prepare children for a future where technology and coding skills will become increasingly important. By combining play and learning, they open up a world of possibilities, encouraging curiosity and a passion for lifelong learning in a field that is both challenging and endlessly fulfilling.
