The moment you see it, you can understand why Sony's toio toy system has won all major design awards: using simple forms – square, circular, and oblong – makes it intuitively easy to use, even for very young children. But what makes it even more worthy of awards is that inside these basic shapes are integrated very sophisticated technology with the sole goal of helping children develop various skills using their imagination. If you aren't familiar with the system, the Sony Toy Robot toio Value Pack is the best place to start because it includes not only the engine but also two different toy collections!
The basic toio system is made up of two ring-shaped controllers, one console, and two tiny (32 x 32 x 20 mm / 1.3 x 1.3 x 0.8") square-shaped robots that you can control either using the rings or by programing them to move alone on the special mats that come with the two games. In the case of the Sony Toy Robot toio Value Pack, you also get either the toio Collection Game Pack and Gesundroid Game Pack or the GoGo Robot Programming Game Pack and Gesundroid Game Pack, which contain many different games that can be played with the small robots. Get them and help your children cultivate their imagination and creativity!
