With all that is going on in the world today, who couldn’t use a little more PEACE. The Frog wants you to Celebrate Life, and outfit the whole family in a positively peaceful style!

  The new Code & Learn Ladybug will introduce kids to basic programming and coding in a simple and fun way! The Code & Learn Ladybug has two modes of play. In the first mode, children use the coding cards to input directional ques into the remote control that will code the bug to land on the correct colored square within the grid map. Once the coding is completed, hit green to go. The coder will know if he or she has programmed correctly when the antennae of the ladybug light up with the color that corresponds to the coding card. The second mode allows children to “drive” the remote-control playmate around for free-wheeling fun.
The new Code & Learn Space Ship operates in a similar fashion to the Ladybug. The coder will know if he or she has programmed correctly when the cockpit of the Space Ship light up with the color that corresponds to the coding. If it matches the card, they are correct!
Code & Learn Ladybug and Space Ship retail for $39.99 at many major retailers and specialty stores nationwide and at The Learning Journey I love this next one! So much fun!
