Our penguins are not only very cute but they will also inspire the use of directional and positional language, matching practice, problem solving, pattern making, logical thinking and sequencing skills.
These penguins are specially designed to embed pre-coding skills through an appealing, tactile resource and are even robust enough to be used in ice, sand and throughout the outdoors! Once children are secure with the physical skills of ordering and manoeuvring, they will have the confidence to apply the same skills in more abstract ways with digital interfaces.
Used alongside the Pre-coding Activity Cards, they will provide challenge and nurture children’s thinking skills. Contains 18 penguins: four of each directional arrow and two without arrows.

The children enjoy using these little penguins. They have been in everything from ice to lava. The children wanted to cook one in the mock volcano so see if she would survived. Thankful no harm came to the little thing. They are a nice size and match the app perfectly. The children have more fun using them without the optional cards. Such as hide and seek, treasure hunts or just leaving a trail to follow. Another great product that has lasted well.
