This document discusses a new tangible coding interface called Cubetto Playset that allows children ages 3 to 5 to learn computational thinking and programming principles through play without needing literacy or a screen. It works using Primo blocks that are Arduino compatible and replaces textual code with an age-appropriate play pattern. Field research was conducted and a Kickstarter campaign was successful, with the product now preparing for mass production and further improvements.
