Introducing the Blue-Bot Swarm - a Bluetooth Programmable Robot Class Pack You can program Blue-Bot with a wide range of tablets, a PC, Mac, or our very own TacTile Reader. The tablet app features a host of programming challenges and problems for children to solve by constructing the correct program. Blue-Bot Swarm is a set of 6 Blue-Bots and also includes a docking station, allowing you to charge 6 Blue-Bots at the same time so you don't need to worry about storage or batteries, just pop Blue-Bot back on the dock and it'll charge ready for its next adventure! Blue-Bot can now interact with another Bee-Bot or Blue-Bot and say "hello" or students can record their own message. Students can also record audio to play back when each button is pressed (e.g. a different sound for forward and a different sound for backward), making it more accessible to all students, including those with auditory or visual processing needs. Blue-Bot is well suited to supporting a number of aspects of computing. It can be used to help pupils: Understand what algorithms are, how they are implemented as programs on digital devices, and that programs execute by following precise and unambiguous instructions Design, write and debug programs that accomplish specific goals, including controlling or simulating physical systems; solve problems by decomposing them into smaller parts Use sequence, selection and repetition in programs; work with variables and various forms of input and output. Use logical reasoning to explain how some simple algorithms work and to detect and correct errors in algorithms and programs

Product Features: Rechargeable All four cars can be used simultaneously without having to set frequencies Great for developing early stages of control Encourage the use of directional language Engage groups and individuals Ideal for collaborative play Integrating ICT into your setting can be a challenge, especially in nurseries and preschools. We know that changing batteries should be the least of your worries as you plan effectively, instigate free flow learning and assess every child accordingly. With that in mind, our revolutionary range of rechargeable ICT resources designed especially for Nurseries, Preschools and Foundation stage helps you introduce ICT without the hassle. Our Easi-Cars are a fantastic example of what this range has to offer. In four vibrant colours with corresponding handset controls, they have been designed to work together at the same time. For the first time in your setting, up to four children can use remote control resources together without worrying about frequencies clashing. We wanted these cars to be as appealing as possible to children. With their attractive design and headlights that light up when they move, both girls and boys will be eager to start exploring your setting with these wonderful Early Years resources. The two button control allows the cars to go forward and reverse to change direction. We class this as a 'stage two' remote control - it's a great stepping stone between simple one button (stage one) cars and three or four button cars. Stage two allows children to explore cause and effect as they make simple choices between 'forward' and 'reverse turn'. Use indoors and out (on flat terrain). They're super for using with small world buildings, following different routes, races or just exploring and developing key ICT skills. Easi-Cars come with a docking station for charging that doubles as a storage centre for these fantastic resources - perfect for self selection and free flow play. With no batteries required, these innovative vehicles will not only save the hassle of replacing batteries, they will recoup the cost of batteries alone in the first year of use.

Set includes four cars, four handsets, docking station and power adapter. For ages 3yrs+

Ideal for use in sand or around your setting, Easi-Detectors are a fantastic addition to your early years resources. Unlike a lot of detectors on the market, we have tried to make these as easy to use as possible. That means: No attenuation wheel - we have put a simple 'on/off' switch instead Motion sensitive - if they are left unattended, they will 'sleep', not beep! Recharge through the included hub- great for continuous provision and storage Fully tested to make sure they comply to all relevant toy safety standards for your piece of mind Investigate what lies beneath the soil, sand, paper etc. Will it be gold, silver, bronze or other metal? These innovative detectors are simple to use; sweep them over objects or areas and hear the beep as they detect the metal. With a detection range of up to 40mm for a 25mm diameter coin, these marvellous treasure hunters can be used to aid learning in lots of areas: Develop communication skills as children search for hidden treasure, looking at clues and maps. Investigate materials in your setting. Is there any metal in a tree? Is there any metal on a table? Why does it beep when I run it over my shoes? Discuss why the metal detector beeps when it goes over money, but not other precious items like gems. Why not make your own ancient artefacts and hide them for children to discover? Batteries should last for up to eight hours in normal use with a three hour recharge period. An LED indicates charge status. Each detector: L20 x W8cm, for ages 3yrs+.

Our award winning Giant Dark Den has a simple premise: Not everyone has the space for a dedicated sensory room, but we all agree it's an important part of a child's development to explore the dark.

This versatile giant version of our dark den is able to fit a group of children or accommodate those who need a little more space; it's ideal as a semi-permanent sensory room, and is large enough to accommodate bubble tubes, fibre optic strands and other items that may not fit into the original Dark Den.
