A Fun and Easy Way to
Learn to Code for Kids

Give the special children in your life educational gifts that unlock their creativity and teach them skills they can build upon later in life. Tynker’s engaging and fun games allow kids to learn to code at an early age. With our coding gifts for kids, you’ll be giving them the problem-solving and technical abilities they will need as they get older. Whether or not they choose to pursue a career in technology, these computer coding gifts help them learn valuable lessons through our unique drag-and-drop visual coding language. These gifts for coders use blocks to teach them core concepts in the form of a game — providing them with a foundation to jump to more complex platforms such as JavaScript and Python.
Our award-winning courses make the perfect coding gifts for teens as well as younger children because they are made for all skill levels and ages. The built-in tutorials guide them through hands-on learning. With our mobile apps, kids can take their lessons as well as the games and apps they build on the go. To learn more about what makes these the best gifts for coders, take a look at everything we have to offer on this page.

Tynker courses teach critical 21st century skills, including computer programming, critical thinking, and problem solving. Students learn how to logically sequence events, create playable games, tell good stories, and model real situations. They also learn computational thinking by developing algorithmic and design thinking abilities. After learning the fundamentals, kids can transition to JavaScript within the Tynker learning system.

Your child will have unlimited time to make mods and complete courses on Tynker, but their time to test out their creations on a private Minecraft server is limited.

Subscribers with an annual or quarterly plan get 480 minutes/month, and subscribers with a Lifetime plan get 960 minutes/month.
