Disney princesses & puppy toys train the kids to code

Adding codes into toys is becoming a trend over the last few years. Two new rolls on coding robots in 2017 comprise off Belle from “Beauty and the Beast”, and a little hairless puppy with a transparent torso called FurReal Proto Max. Both were put on show at this week’s New York Toy Fair preview, & are appearing shortly this year. They are the symbol of an industry that might carry on to be reallocating from app-connected toys to app-connected coding toys.

FurReal Makers Proto Max is the puppy you probably desire you had on the set of a cyberpunk film: it gives the impression like a prop from “Al” or “Ex-Machina.

Proto Max can be gathered together from a few pieces, then linked to iOS or Android Devices and personality-programmed with 400 sounds, 100 aye animations and customized routines.

I saw it and it was doing few tricks and spinning around during our demo at Hasbro’s pre-Toy Fair event. It seemed pretty appealing during the brief demo.

At Hasbro’s busy demo space, Disney Princess: incorporates block coding concepts on its companion app, but this merely applies on dancing doll. Belle is more like a dancing Disney robot toy instead of fun dancing doll.  Belle was wired up for the demo but it will finally arrived later this year.
