Fisher Price Code-a-Pillar You’re never too young to start learning problem-solving skills and the Code-a-Pillar proves it. The Code-a-Pillar has eight segments, each of which have a different command icon that controls how the toy moves or acts (forward, left, turn, generate a noise, etc). Children choose how to connect the eight parts, and once they push start, the caterpillar moves according to its “programming.” Motorised head segment features lights, sounds and blinking eyes to bring Code-A-Pillar to life!

This toy is geared towards young minds and exposing them to the art of coding. So mix up the pieces, turn your room in into obstacle course and help your kid to get from Start to Finish!
