Share the Post:

Wrapping paper is flying, eyes are sparkling, and excited laughter lights up the room as your child finally meets Dash! Christmas morning is all about magic, and with Dash you can skip the stressful setup so your child can dive right into their coding adventure.

We want to make it easy for you to focus on what matters most: being present for the moment your child’s imagination takes off. 

Open and Play

Dash arrives fully assembled, charged, and ready to roll (literally), so no need to sneak in to charge Dash or search for screwdrivers or batteries. 

Make sure Dash is on the floor when powering on—Dash loves to dance around! Giving plenty of space will help prevent accidents and allow for smoother play.

Free App Downloads

For an even easier morning, download any of the free Wonder Workshop apps in advance! All apps are kidSAFE® certified and COPPA compliant, which means we will never collect any personally identifiable information for kids.

Pairing Dash with Your Device

Dash is ready to go right out of the box, but to keep the fun going, be sure to plug in between uses so that Dash will be fully charged and ready for the next adventure.
