Unplugged Tots

This hands-on guide introduces computational thinking and early coding concepts through completely screen-free activities designed for preschoolers as young as two and a half. The book breaks down complex programming fundamentals into accessible, engaging exercises that build foundational skills through physical play and problem-solving. Parents and educators will find practical, developmentally appropriate activities that transform abstract computer science concepts into tangible learning experiences. These unplugged coding activities make technology education accessible without any digital devices.

What sets this resource apart is its focus on developing computational thinking through everyday materials and playful interactions, making it ideal for both classroom settings and home learning environments. The activities naturally build sequencing, pattern recognition, and logical reasoning skills while keeping young children actively engaged. Parents seeking to limit screen time while preparing their children for a tech-driven world will find this approach particularly valuable. This book successfully demonstrates that the most important coding skills begin long before children ever touch a keyboard.
