When you think about things to get for your kids at the age of 7-10 it generally involves technology. Even when I was a kid, technology was where it was at. So, I thought it was pretty sweet when Best Buy asked if they could send us Dash, our new resident robot. 

Like how cool is that? What kid doesn’t want a robot right? And with all the cool technology of Dash, you can believe my son was elated when it came in the mail. Here’s the breakdown of what he likes most about Dash and how he plays with it.

Meet Dash – The Robot Who Navigates, Responds, Sings and Even Dances

When we first opened the box, we immediately thought it was super cool that you could open the side flap and drive him right out. The colors of blue and orange were fun and its organic shape very modern.

Favorite Features

I love everything about Dash. He’s really cool, I like that I can make pranks and even send him into different rooms to chase the cat.  – Gauge

When we first turned Dash on he made this funny noise. Gauge looks forward to hearing this quirky noise all the time now. He loves that it sounds cute, that he can drive it around, do activities with it, control it with his phone (using one of its many apps) and learn how to code. He was especially excited to find out that he can make Dash go on journeys and program him to play pranks.
