Piel: Programmable Plush Robot for Kids

In the past few years, we have covered a bunch of programmable robots for kids and adults that can teach them coding concepts. Piel is also worth a look. It is a cute toy that teaches kids the basics of programming through science fiction missions. It has an app for easy control. The programming interface is graphical, so actions can be programmed via drag & drop.

The Piel can move in every direction and has programmable LEDs on its cheeks. Kids get to unlock new missions as they play with this robot. They will learn about loops, conditional statements and other basic coding concepts along the way.
