Help the robot reach the sticker

The Spark Kingdom is a gentle first step into coding. A friendly robot needs help to reach each sticker, and your child gives the instructions: tap, plan, fix and repeat.

  1. 1. WatchEvery new game starts with a short picture show of how to play. No reading needed.
  2. 2. TryA pointing hand shows the way in each practice room, then your child has a go.
  3. 3. Stuck?The lightbulb button shows the next step. A wrong move is just a little wobble.
