Using Coding Cards

The 30 double-sided coding cards help visualize and plan the mouse's path before inputting commands. Lay out the cards in the desired sequence to represent the mouse's movements through a maze or to a target.

Navigating Mazes

Create mazes using the activity tiles, tunnels, and obstacles. The goal is often to guide the Robot Mouse to a specific target, such as a piece of cheese. Plan the sequence of movements using the coding cards, then input the commands into the mouse and press 'Go'.
