Who has a child who loves to build Lego? How would you feel if they could combine LEGO and robotics? Then both you and your child will love the new LEGO BOOST Creative Toolbox 5 in 1 set!
We are definitely huge supporters of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) learning in our home. Whether it be through coding, interactive games or building Lego, we are all for it.
About LEGO BOOST
LEGO BOOST is a 5-in-1 model that introduces building and coding in one super-charged LEGO set. Letting children add sound, movement, and personality to their LEGO creations, bringing to life anything they can imagine!
With the new LEGO BOOST, your child can combine both the physical and digital world.
Using the LEGO BOOST app (available on IOS/iPad & Android/Tablets) your child will be guided throughout the build of their Lego creation of choice.
They will also learn how to code using the mobile game-like app interface, which will help get their robotic Lego moving!
Please note: A tablet running iOS 10.3 and newer/Android 5.0 or above is required to build and play with LEGO Boost. Please visit LEGO.com/DeviceCheck to check if your device is compatible.
5 Models in 1
VERNIE the Robot
Vernie is the star of the show and your own personal robot friend. He’s at your command and you can make him sing, dance or even fire darts. He always acts extra cool when you dress him up in his sunglasses and bow tie. Dress him up however you like!
FRANKIE the Cat
One look at those friendly eyes and Frankie will be your cherished pet forever. He always purrs loudly when you stroke his head or feed him his favorite fish. But NEVER pull his tail – or he might get very upset!
