Fisher-Price Think & Learn Code-a-Pillar – Extended Set with 19 Segments

🐛 Play, program and discover your own route!

Meet the cheerful Fisher-Price Think & Learn Code-a-Pillar, an interactive STEM toy that introduces children to the basics of coding, programming and logical thinking in a playful way.

The principle is simple but extremely fun: children decide which route the caterpillar takes by clicking the different segments together in a certain order. Each segment gives the caterpillar a specific command, such as driving straight ahead, turning left or right, or making a sound or playing music.

🐛 This set is extra extensive: in addition to the motorized head, there are no fewer than 19 connecting pieces included. This allows children to create much longer and more elaborate routes than with the standard set.

🎯 What does it stimulate/practice?

🧠 Logical thinking – children learn to think ahead about the route the caterpillar has to take.

💻 Computational thinking – in a simple, physical way, children become familiar with the principle of programming.

🔄 Cause and effect – children discover what happens when they add a certain segment.

🧩 Problem-solving – is the route not working? Then they can adjust the order and try again.

🎨 Creativity – children can come up with new routes and challenges every time.

🐛 How does the Code-a-Pillar work?

Click the different segments together behind the motorized head. Each segment contains a certain command for the caterpillar. When you turn on the caterpillar, it performs the commands in the chosen order.

This way, children can, for example, program a route with a combination of driving straight ahead, turning left and turning right. Some segments also make sounds or music.

With 19 connecting pieces, there are plenty of possibilities to come up with and try out new routes.
