Screen-free educational robot: Cubetto Plus, coding for children aged 3 to 6

Cubetto Plus is the latest version of the wooden educational robot designed by PrimoToys. Created to introduce children aged 3 to 6 to coding and programming without screens, it is suitable for both preschool classrooms and families looking for a concrete, sensory and progressive learning approach.

This updated version preserves the educational foundations of Cubetto while improving the learning experience, the readability of programming sequences and its suitability for group use in educational settings.

Learning coding in preschool without screens

Cubetto Plus introduces children to coding without tablets or computers. Programming is based entirely on the physical manipulation of wooden coding blocks placed on a dedicated control board. Each block represents a simple action such as moving forward or turning.

The commands are read from left to right, allowing children to intuitively understand sequencing and logical order. The robot then executes the program, immediately showing the link between the placed command and the resulting action.

This approach turns the fundamentals of computer programming into a tangible experience, accessible even before children learn to read.

Developing computational thinking from an early age

With Cubetto Plus, children gradually discover the core principles of educational coding:

• action sequencing
• logical thinking and simple problem solving
• spatial awareness and orientation
• anticipation and error correction

The robot becomes a hands-on experimentation tool. Mistakes are not penalised but used as learning opportunities to adjust sequences and understand cause-and-effect relationships. This process supports autonomy and perseverance.

An evolution designed for educational use

Cubetto Plus has been designed to meet the real constraints of educational environments. The system runs on a rechargeable battery, making it easier to organise coding workshops without frequent interruptions.

The programming capacity has been expanded to allow longer sequences and simple functions. Children can create more elaborate paths, test different ideas and progressively structure their thinking.

The programming interface remains intentionally uncluttered, keeping the learning experience focused on hands-on manipulation and observation.

A wooden educational robot inspired by Montessori principles

Made of wood and designed for young children, Cubetto Plus follows an approach compatible with Montessori-inspired learning. The material encourages active exploration, sensory engagement and independent experimentation, supporting early learning through play.
