Best Coding Books for Babies/Kids
I get a ton of questions regarding the coding books I read to my 15 month old son, specifically on my Instagram.
Since I have purchased quite a few, here are my top 4 coding book suggestions for babies/young kids:
1. ABCs of the Web
A great introduction to basic coding and web concepts for children in the form of the alphabet!
2. Web Design for Kids
Introduces basic coding concepts in an engaging &easy-to-understand format. My favorite part about this book are the flaps — introducing a concept on the outside with a definition underneath.
3. My First Coding Book
Teach young children the basic programming skills and concepts necessary to code, including sequencing and loops, without a computer.
Since this book is more complex, I would recommend it for ages 4 & up.
4. Baby Loves Coding!
This book introduces STEM topics in a developmentally appropriate way.
