## Description

PlayShifu Interactive STEM Toys - Tacto Coding (Kit + App) | Visual Coding Games for Kids | Preschool Educational Toys | Early Programming | 4-10 Year Olds Birthday Gifts (Tablet Not Included)

Review: Great for kids! - Really easy to use and get playing, it easily clips onto the iPad, just download the app and you are ready to go. My little girl is nearly 4 and she has been enjoying playing this and can follow the instructions with a little help from me. There’s a great learning element to it which I love. The figures are easy for her to hold and manipulate and it’s very straightforward to follow! I really recommend this!
Review: Non kid friendly - The app crash on ipad also difficult to unlock first time parental lock post downloading the app. The view and feel of the overall game once a kid starts playing is not user friendly and need parental assistance. The app looks exciting over video / advertisement but realtime experience is very poor. Have returned back the product. Not a valuable product for kid, rather the mobile apps have much better kid friendly features

## Features

- TACTO CODING by PlayShifu helps early learners THINK code with exciting gameplay and bite-sized sequences. Did you know, it has been designed and created by coder parents?! Tacto makes coding fun and easy through interactions with VISUAL elements, NOT blocks of code. Kids drive the games on screen using real figurines, hands-on play that turns the tablet into a coding adventure!
- Unlike many coding kits, Tacto Coding focuses on a LOT MORE than just direction-based coding. It incorporates the fundamental concepts of coding – inputs-output, loops, sequencing, decomposition, and branching. But, with engaging and age-specific storytelling!
- FOR AGES 4-10, there are 3 different games with 200+ CHALLENGES that become increasingly difficult as you play through them. A child could play and learn from it for a much longer period progressing to advanced levels than other kits that tend to cater to a smaller age bracket.
- The BOX contains 2 frames and 5 figurines (draw, rotate, slide, and 2 function figurines). Attach the 2 frames on the sides of your tablet and place the figurines in their slots. Pick a game and begin your coding journey - spread happiness with Mr. Buffy or go on a treasure hunt with Moka-Ika!
- COMPATIBLE DEVICES: Tacto works with a range of tablets: iPad 5th gen and above (iPad 2 and iPad Mini 1 not supported) Android tabs 7-inches and above, minimum 2GB RAM (Samsung Tab A and S7+ not supported), Fire HD 10 - 2021 (Fire 7 not supported). Tacto app is absolutely free to download from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and works even without the internet (no ads or in-app purchases).

**Q: Are the frames needed?  i found they were not necessary for tacto coding - considering others.  its a hassle to remove and replace kid proof cover**
A: Hi!
 
Thank you for exploring Tacto Coding by PlayShifu.
 
The frames hold the tablets in place without slipping for a smooth play experience. If the protective cover keeps the device from shifting, you don't have to attach the frames. The Tacto games work fine without them.
