Meet Codi, A Storytelling Robot Friend

by Katie Wallace | Updated: October 5, 2019

Meet Codi, a screen-free, storytelling robot that’s quickly become a favorite in our home. My kids love listening to his stories, dancing along to fun songs, and winding down with his quiet time music. In a world where screens are everywhere, Codi offers an imaginative and interactive play experience. We’ve enjoyed getting to know this clever little robot! I’m excited to share what makes him such a great addition to my kids’ playtime.

Codi is a storytelling robot that interacts with your child and encourages imaginative play. It doesn’t have a screen, which is a huge plus for a tech toy. Codi is an adorable robot character which kids can hold, dress up, and interact with. By pressing a button, kids can start a song or play one of Codi’s many classic stories.

Stories – Kids can choose from 130 classic stories that Codi can play to encourage kids’ imaginations without a screen.

Music – Enjoy Codi’s playlist of 100 classic songs to get your child moving.

Good routines – Use Codi’s exclusive habit building content to remind your kids to brush their teeth or clean up.

Our review box included the Codi robot, a USB charger, and a wall adapter. Setting up Codi was pretty simple. We connected it to our home Wi-Fi, downloaded the companion app, and created a parental control account. From the app, I can customize Codi’s playlist by adding or removing songs and stories. Additionally, I can monitor what my kids have been listening to and even adjust the volume. One of my favorite features is the Interactions tab, where I can prompt Codi to remind the kids to clean up their toys or brush their teeth, complete with a fun song to go with it!

How to Use Codi

Play – Codi’s front button controls allow kids to play a song or story and push the check button if they like it or the X button if they don’t like it. Kids can personalize their playlist with the songs and stories they like most. The right and left buttons move forward or backward through the playlist. Kids can also speak to Codi while pressing the message button to send a message to their parent’s phone via Wifi.

Update – The app prompts you to update Codi’s software as it’s released, which allows Codi to keep learning. As a future software improvement, it would be great for Codi to be able to understand and interact with more voice commands or say a child’s name.

Interact – Codi is made with high quality, impact resistant materials. It’s designed for kids ages 12 months to 7 years and tested to be safe and durable for children to play with. Codi comes with a free library of more than 200 classic songs, stories and lessons. This content is age-appropriate and aides development of literacy and motor skills.

Codi storytelling robot has dinosaur, unicorn, monkey outfits

Dress up – My kids love that Codi has outfits. They can dress the robot up as a monkey, dinosaur, unicorn, or astronaut. These outfits fit on Codi head first, around the base and then fasten in the front. Each of the outfits has a carrying handle on the back, so you can take Codi with you wherever you go!

Playtime with Codi, a Storytelling Robot

Codi storytelling robot is a fun pal to include in playtime, whether kids are exploring, building a blanket fort, or playing a board game. Listening to Codi’s songs and stories is an educational kids activity which encourage children to appreciate classic tales and literature. Codi’s stories are easy to quickly play without any setup. Sweetest of all, the Codi robot character is endearing and lights up with colorful LED lights in its antenna and on the sides of its helmet.

Codi has a playlist of fun kids’ songs, as well as a “calming playlist” of soft lullabies and classical music. The kids’ songs are fun to play in the afternoon. At night, we often play Codi’s calming playlist to help our kids wind down before bed.

Codi’s stories include the tale of Chicken Little, Cinderella and the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, plus many others. I added a bunch more stories to Codi from the app, which gave me a long list of classic stories to choose from. Some of the stories are a few minutes long, while others are 15+ minutes long. My 7-year-old daughter likes listening to Codi when she’s relaxing in her room during our afternoon quiet time.

Overall, Codi storytelling robot is an engaging friend for kids to bring on their adventures. Young kids will enjoy Codi’s songs and older kids will like interacting with Codi and dressing it up. Codi’s also a great gift idea for a birthday or the holidays!
