Coding for kids before they can read

The coding app used in over 50% of U.S. elementary schools, now at home. Join 40 million kids who learn to code through games they'll actually ask to play, starting with their first maze in minutes.

Why Kodable Basics?

Coding for kids that teaches them how to think

Kodable Basics is coding for kids ages 4-10. Your child will learn to code, and along the way they'll learn how to think. Logic, problem-solving, and sticking with a tricky puzzle are skills that last a lifetime, and kids who understand how code works grow up knowing how to tell AI what to do.

Logical thinking, built in

Every maze is a little logic puzzle. Your child learns to break a problem into steps, spot patterns, and try again when the first plan doesn't work.

No reading required

Kodable Basics uses pictures instead of words, so kids as young as 4 can drag and drop their first commands. No reading, no keyboard, no experience required.

Safe & standards-aligned

No ads, ever. Aligned to CSTA and ISTE standards, with Google Classroom and Clever rostering for teachers, and digital citizenship lessons built right in.

The Learning Path

Five planets, a universe of code.

Each planet teaches a new coding concept. Tap a planet to see what your child will learn there.

Planet 1 · Sequencing

Cloudhaven

Kids start by putting steps in order to guide their fuzz along a path. It's the first idea behind every program, and the foundation for everything that follows.

Perfect for: Kindergarten & 1st Grade

Planet 2 · Conditionals

Smeeborg

Kids learn to write code that makes decisions: if this, then that. It's the same thinking behind every app and game they'll ever use.

Perfect for: 1st & 2nd Grade

Planet 3 · Loops

Aquatopia

Kids learn to repeat steps with loops. Instead of dragging "forward" five times, they tell their fuzz to go forward five times, and see how much shorter their code gets.

Perfect for: 2nd & 3rd Grade

Planet 4 · Variables & Booleans

Asteroid Belt

Kids give things names and values, then make choices with true and false. This is how code keeps score, remembers, and compares.

Perfect for: 3rd & 4th Grade

Planet 5 · Functions

Moongarden

Kids name a set of steps once and reuse it anywhere. This is where coding gets creative, as they build small tools and combine them into bigger ones.

Perfect for: 4th & 5th Grade

Beyond the courses

Coding games kids come back for

Between lessons, kids unlock the fun stuff, the parts they'll ask to play again on the weekend.

Fuzz Builder, where kids code their own fuzz character

Fuzz Builder

Kids write code to build their own fuzz, choosing eyes, colors, hats, and accessories by programming each part. It's their first taste of making something that is all their own with code.

Maze Maker, where kids build their own levels

Maze Maker

Kids build their own levels with the same commands from the courses, then challenge friends to solve them. Designing a game is a big step up from playing one.

Pets, programmable pets that teach conditionals

Pets

Kids adopt a pet and program how it behaves: feed it when it's hungry, play when it's bored, sleep when it's tired. Their if-statements and loops come to life as a pet that takes care of itself.

Beach Cleanup, an ocean conservation coding world

Beach Cleanup

A special world where kids clean up the ocean with code. They sort trash, rescue animals, and practice the coding skills they already know while learning to care for the planet.

Any device, anywhere

Works wherever your kids are

Kodable Basics runs on iPad, iPhone, Chromebook, and any web browser, and your child's progress syncs across all of them. The iPad app even works offline, so it's ready for road trips, flights, and waiting rooms.

Where will your child start?

Every kid begins with a five-minute tutorial. After that, the first planet depends on their age.

Cloudhaven planet
Ages 4+

Cloudhaven

Kids put picture commands in order to guide their fuzz through the maze. No reading, no typing, and lots of high fives.

Smeeborg planet
Ages 6+

Smeeborg and Aquatopia

Kids learn to make decisions with if-this-then-that and to repeat steps with loops, the two ideas behind every game they play.

Asteroid Belt planet
Ages 8+

Asteroid Belt and Moongarden

Kids work with variables and functions, then move on to Kodable Creator and real JavaScript when they're ready.

What you'll see as a parent

You don't need to sit beside your child to know how it's going. Open the app and you'll see which planet they're on, which concepts they've passed, and where they needed extra practice. When they finish a planet, you'll know.

Teachers, parents, and kids agree

It's the one app my students ask for by name. First-day-of-school silence, because everyone's in Smeeborg.

My four-year-old taught himself sequencing before he could read. Watching him explain loops to his grandma was a moment.

We've run Kodable Basics in every K-3 classroom in the district for six years. It's become infrastructure.
