Gift ideas for a Christmas | For children “who want to play”

Toys are the most popular gift for children at Christmas. But can we combine business with pleasure? Educational toys have long been popular to help children learn as they play. However today technology allows us to stay on another level. Sphero looks like a silly little ball, the kind they probably used 50 years ago to play. However, in reality it is a real robot that can be controlled and programmed with a simple app. It certainly allows children to have fun, but it is much more than a radio-controlled car because it also teaches the rudiments of programming.

If, on the other hand, you want a gift for older kids, you can go to more advanced models, based on Raspberry and different sensors that allow you to learn programming more complex tasks, having fun! The robots have several integrated tutorials to follow step by step, but then you can free your imagination to invent anything. It would have been a dream for me to receive something like this as a kid!
