Description
EDURINO is a series of playful digital learning games, providing meaningful screen time for children aged 4-8. Children are given the power to unlock a world of learning with the beautiful and colourful EDURINO character figurines combined with an app and ergonomic stylus to perfect pen grip. Learning games within the app are designed by teachers, there are strong parental controls, no in app purchases and it’s ad free.
In Early Numbers and Shapes with Robin, children will learn to recite numbers to 10, but also to count accurately and connect amounts to written digits. Number bonds to 10 are introduced through addition, and children will be introduced to 2D shapes and their characteristics.
With Early Coding Skills with Luca, children start with playful puzzling, before moving on to challenges requiring logical thinking and problem solving.
With Word Games with Niki, children will learn to listen to and follow instructions, begin to read words by recognising them and solve puzzles.

What our experts think
The bright and engaging graphics really appealed to our testers and across the three different sets tested, they had many different games to choose from. There was something for everyone, from games focusing on mathematical concepts such as numbers and shapes, to games that explored emotions or coding skills. The Numbers & Shapes set and Word Games set were more suited to our testers aged 4-6, while the coding one was more challenging and appealed to the 6-8 year olds. The children particularly enjoyed designing their own avatar and as they progressed through the game they won prizes which meant they could add to or change it.
The pen included in the sets was very popular. Children are encouraged to use it to navigate themselves around the games, but it’s also an opportunity for them to practise their tripod grip and strengthen their hand muscles which are important for writing. Many of the games required the children to use trial and error which is great for helping them to learn, and the kind and funny characters they meet along the way really helped to keep them engaged and positive. Straightforward to set up and easy to understand instructions at the start of each game, the testers needed little or no help to work through the games and were reluctant to stop playing.
