Our take on the Thames & Kosmos My Robotic Pet Coding Chameleon Kit

The Thames & Kosmos Coding Chameleon is a build-it-yourself robot pet aimed at kids 8 and up. Kids assemble the chameleon, then program its movements and behaviors with a simple block-based coding app. It sits between plain remote-control toys and full coding kits: more structured than a toy chameleon, less open-ended than a programmable robot like a micro:bit rover. It suits kids who like animals and want to see code move something real.

Questions and answers

What age is the Coding Chameleon for?
Thames & Kosmos rates it for ages 8 and up. Kids at the younger end usually need an adult for the build and app setup.
Does it need a phone or tablet?
Yes, the coding features run through a companion app on a phone or tablet. The remote control works without the app.
Do you have to build it before playing?
Yes. Assembly is part of the kit, and the robot does not run until it is built. Expect an afternoon project with a child.
Can it be programmed without blocks?
The coding is block-based, aimed at beginners. There is no text-based programming mode for more advanced kids.
How does it compare with other coding robots?
It is more guided and animal-themed than open-ended kits, which makes it easier for beginners but less flexible as kids advance.
What is in the box?
The kit includes the plastic chameleon parts, motor and electronics, and instructions. A phone or tablet is not included.
