The app contains story puzzles that kids can solve through dragging and dropping to make visual code blocks. Tynker Kids with no knowledge of programming can learn logic with this iPad app. Also there is a wealth of resorces and back up material and it’s free!


Although designed for 5 -7 yr olds, we have 4 yr olds using it quite competently and 8-9 year olds who are still interested – depending on the challenge they are set. Right from lesson one they can programme their own illustrated stories, plays and animations – the only limits are their own imagination. It is very, very easy for children to learn and unlike a lot of coding apps, children are not bound by tasks and activities that someone else has created. We love it! Having never been a huge fan of Scratch, we are complete converts to Scratch Junior. It’s a great way to introduce young kids to programming. was inspired by the popular Scratch programming language, developed by MIT. Kids snap together programming blocks to make their characters move, jump, dance, and sing. In this app, kids, ages 5 to 7 can learn to program their own games and interactive stories.

We tried them all out and think she is spot on with her comments. Big thanks to teacher Melissa Taylor for her review of her favourite coding apps.
