I am a k-12 classroom teacher and grandmother of 3. I was fortunate enough to be able to get a class set (8) of Indis for my k-2 kiddos. They absolutely love it..no plans required! Just open the kits and let them loose.I did use the plans to introduce the cars but the included lessons seemed to get boring fast. I learned to give the kids a challenge and let them go. My first challenge was for them to make a bridge to get indi to cross between 2 chairs set up 1-2 feet apart from each other. Next they were challenged to create a bridge using only cardboard and masking tape: the car must start and end on the floor and the bridge must rise at least 5 inches off the floor. We ended up with 8 very different bridges! Then they started trying to get the cars to cross more than one bridge at a time! It was great fun and ended up being an exciting activity for our schoolwide steam night. For the family night, my kids set up their bridges and placed the tiles, the attending kids and family, used the cars and made their own adjustments to cross the bridges. I lovethese cars so much that I splurged and bought my own grands a set for when they visit me. So much learning!

The Car had a hard time detecting the color purple.

Item was packaged in the manufacturers packaging and came in perfect condition.a great activity and playset for my 7 year old daughter.

I saw this in school one day when I was there. So much fun and learning too. I had to purchase one for the grandson's Christmas.Recommend!

Great product

I have a 4 and 5 year old they really love this thing. I would say the very first day we opened it we got at least 3 hours of entertainment time and during that time it was something they could play with together without me needing to directly sit there and help them. Definitely promotes creative thinking and problem solving. We loved this little robot programming thing. My only suggestion for improvement would be to make the little color tiles a bit sturdier (we also have a baby crawling around and several of the tiles got bent/folded (they still work, but the car can sometimes get stuck on the bent ones). Otherwise love it and I feel like they learn a lot from it, also really nice to have something non-screen that keeps them busy for a long time. Would highly recommend.
