Prepare a picnic. Care for a friend. All through code.
Two games that show their code live: children watch events, conditions and loops at work, then change them.
01 · PICNIC GARDEN
Prepare a picnic with code, not just taps.
Visitors arrive for food and drinks. Children arrange plants, write serving rules and watch guests enjoy their picnic.

02 · PETS
Care with kindness. Create its habits with code.
Children feed, rest and play with their pet, then write its rules: When → If → Do. The pet follows the child’s code, and every mission is tested by its behaviour.

LEARNING THAT FEELS LIKE PLAY
No memorizing. Just wondering.
01
Pick a little adventure
Ciko has a destination. You have an idea to help.
02
Build it. Then try it.
Tap blocks, run the steps, and see what happens.
03
“Oh, now I see!”
Not there yet? Change a step. Every attempt counts.
FOR GROWN-UPS, WITH CARE
Be there for the steps. Celebrate the trying.
It’s not a race to finish first. It’s a space to experiment, take a break, and discover something together.
- No ads or public leaderboards
- Encouraging hints, never judgment
- Friendly read-aloud guidance from Ciko
EVERY STEP HAS A STORY
“I took the wrong turn. Then I tried again, and I did it!”

Code blocks, real action
Codey Rocky
A robot with an LED display and sensors, programmed in mBlock. Great for events, expressions, and responses to colours or lines.
Try: Show an expression when a button is pressed.

STILL CURIOUS?
Little questions. Clear answers.
Which adventure can we try for free?
Direction Garden is available without a subscription. Later adventure groups require Premium. Challenges unlock step by step as your child progresses.
Does my child need to read?
Not necessarily. Early activities use icons, arrows, and visual examples. A grown-up can read instructions aloud, or use the device’s voice reader when available.
Do we need an mTiny robot?
Not for on-screen learning. The simulator and coding activities work without a robot. Physical mTiny practice requires your family’s Discovery Kit and a grown-up.
Which devices can we use?
Open KodingKids in a computer, tablet, or phone browser. Landscape gives the play area and controls more room. The mobile app is in development; public access is currently through the website.
Where is my child’s progress saved?
Trial mode saves progress on the current device. After signing in with a parent account, check the save status in the Parents space before continuing on another device. Keep progress that has not synced on the original device. You can also export data from the Parents space.
