This is an interactive hands-on play that requires kids to assemble, problem solve as they watch the character walk through the forest. An extra feature in the game is to guide the character Awbie to collect strawberries and expand a garden. The pieces that are used to command Awbie are magnetic and sturdy. Each sequence of commands can stick together for you to see in front of you. It is easy for anyone to use and easy to store away.

Coding Awbie, does not use language- you don’t hear Awbie speak a specific language. Rather, universal symbols such as symbols below are used ( ie. blue- go, green- play) to communicate.
