Cubetto - Extra Blocs

Enhance your Cubetto adventures with this set of Extra Blocs-an essential extension pack designed to expand programming possibilities and keep young coders engaged. This collection of 16 tangible coding blocks allows children to build longer sequences, increase complexity in their routines, and continue programming even if original pieces go missing. Each block is colour-coded and corresponds to a specific action-move forward, turn left, turn right, or execute a function-giving learners the tools to construct and refine their own code through hands-on play. Ideal for classrooms, makerspaces, or home learning environments, the Extra Blocs pack ensures uninterrupted, imaginative exploration with Cubetto.

Why this product is beneficial for educational use:

• Expands coding possibilities by allowing longer and more complex sequences.
• Develops logical thinking, sequencing, and problem-solving skills.
• Encourages a hands-on, screen-free approach to programming.
• Reinforces early STEM concepts through physical coding.
• Supports collaborative play by enabling group programming challenges.
• Compatible with the Cubetto Coding Robot and Programming Board (sold separately).

Classroom ideas for incorporating this product:

• Extended Programming Sequences: Challenge students to create longer code patterns.
• Directional Coding Exploration: Explore movement patterns by mixing and matching different blocks.
• Collaboration Tasks: Assign different students to add coding blocks to a shared sequence.
• Coding Challenges: Set up a classroom race where students use blocks to navigate Cubetto to a goal.
• Storytelling and Coding Integration: Use extra blocks to program Cubetto through a themed story adventure.
