MatataStudio Black Friday sale: find a gift they'll enjoy exploring
A child who loves making up stories may enjoy a different toy from one who wants to investigate every leaf they bring home. The table below gives you a quick way to compare.
| Product | A useful starting point for… |
|---|---|
| Coding Set Home Edition | Guided screen-free coding and family play, ages 5+ |
| Tale-Bot Pro | Button-based screen-free coding and storytelling, ages 3+ |
| Coding Set Pro | Physical coding with dedicated art and music components, ages 5+ |
| VinciBot | Computer- or tablet-based coding projects, ages 8+ |
| MX2-AS Digital Microscope | Looking closely at everyday objects using a built-in screen |
Coding Set Home Edition: a place to start together
If you're choosing a first coding gift and wondering what to do once it's unwrapped, our Coding Set Home Edition gives families three Game Books and 96 guided missions to explore.
Children ages five and up arrange physical coding blocks and watch MatataBot follow their instructions. The screen-free activities give you something to try together, even if coding is new to you too.
At the Early Black Friday price, Home Edition is worth considering when you want guidance for playing at home. You can follow a mission, return to one your child enjoys, or leave room for their own ideas. Our guide to starting coding at home can help you prepare that first session.
Tale-Bot Pro: first commands and little stories
For a younger child who likes pressing buttons and making things happen, take a look at Tale-Bot Pro.
Recommended for ages three and up, it lets children enter commands using buttons on the robot itself. They can build a sequence and press play to see it move. Its interactive map also brings spoken prompts into the activity.
The Early Black Friday price makes it the lower-priced option among the three screen-free robots featured here. Its onboard controls offer a different way to interact from arranging Home Edition's separate blocks. A parent or teacher can help with setup and introduce the activities at the child's pace.
Coding Set Pro: for children drawn to pictures and music
If drawing and making music are part of the gift you have in mind, Coding Set Pro includes the dedicated Artist and Musician components alongside the core physical coding system.
For in the Early Black Friday sale, children ages five and up can explore movement, drawing and composing through screen-free programming. Those included creative tools are the main reason to consider Pro for this kind of play.
Home Edition also supports creative activities, with guidance designed for families. Pro is the option to compare when you specifically want the Artist and Musician components included in the box.
VinciBot: for an older child ready to build programs on a device
For children ages eight and up, VinciBot offers a different route into robotics.
Children use MatataCode on a compatible computer or tablet, starting with visual programming and progressing to Python. The robot's movement, sensors, lights and sounds give them different ways to put those programs into action.
If you want a screen-free coding gift, choose one of the physical-control options above. VinciBot is a better fit when your child is interested in programming on a device and will have access to one.
MX2-AS: for the child who wants a closer look
For a child who's more interested in examining a leaf than programming a route, our MX2-AS Digital Microscope offers another kind of discovery, with Early Black Friday options.
Its built-in screen lets children view details without needing a phone for basic observation. They can use it handheld, while the With Stand configuration adds a tabletop setup for steadier viewing. Check which configuration you're choosing before ordering.
This is a screen-based science gift. Families looking specifically for screen-free play can focus on Tale-Bot Pro, Home Edition or Coding Set Pro instead.
Early Black Friday extras: an additional discount and a longer warranty
Buying for siblings, choosing two gifts, or planning more than one activity? During November 9–21, orders with two or more eligible products automatically receive an extra 10% off eligible products.
Choose from the Early Black Friday collection and check your cart for the discount before completing the order. A screen-free coding set and a microscope offer different ways to explore; the additional saving is useful when both already fit your gift plans.

For teachers preparing a New Year coding club or classroom resources, our team can help with quantities and purchasing options through a school equipment quote.
A few things to know before you choose
Which gifts can children use without a tablet or computer?
Tale-Bot Pro, Coding Set Home Edition and Coding Set Pro support screen-free coding through physical controls. VinciBot uses a compatible computer or tablet for programming. MX2-AS has its own viewing screen, so it works without a phone for basic observation but isn't a screen-free toy.
Do I need to buy Artist and Musician add-ons with Coding Set Pro?
No. Their components are already included in Coding Set Pro. Sensor and Animation are separate optional add-ons, so you don't need to add them just to begin its core screen-free coding, art and music activities.
Do all products qualify for the extra 10% discount?
The offer applies to eligible sale products. Start with the Early Black Friday collection, add at least two eligible products and check the discount shown in your cart. Don't assume that every accessory or classroom bundle qualifies.
Where can I check delivery before buying a Christmas gift?
Check the delivery information on your chosen product page and the shipping options for your destination before ordering. If you need a gift for a particular date, contact our team to confirm the current estimate. Delivery timing depends on the product, stock and destination.
Can I see how the products work before choosing a gift?
Our official MatataStudio YouTube channel has product demonstrations and tutorials. Look for the model you're considering so you can see its controls and activities before deciding whether it suits the child.
Choose their next discovery before December arrives
A screen-free coding mission to try together, a robot to program, or a closer look at something found outside: choose the activity that fits the child you're buying for.
