The Sphero SPRK is a nice introduction to programming. The graphical app lets kids create a set of programmed instruction for the SPRK to execute.

Lego Mindstorms NXT

Mindstorms is a great kit for kids wanting to actually build robots. Their software also lets the machines be programmed in pretty great detail.

LittleArm

The most versatile robot arm kit on the market. The LittleArm can easily be trained with its application. Kids can also learn about 3D printing from the kit.

Makeblock

A good kit for more advanced builders. The MakeBlock is a set similar to Mindstorms

Dash and Dot

These interactive robots give great tangible feedback for programming exercises. They are also fun toys for just about any level.

Finch

Another robot to learn programming on. The Finch can be programmed with many different languages. Very similar to Dash and Dot this robot is meant to provide quick feedback from programming excises. It is more of a tool than a toy.

LEGO is a perfect gift this Christmas. When I was younger, I used to play it with my older brother. The LEGO we usually play was a Christmas gift from my parents. I am a parent now and maybe this is a time to give my child a LEGO as well. I am excited in choosing the designs. Back then, the designs are limited, but now, it is different. Thank you for posting.
