"Little Square-Head" (Xiao Fang Tou) is a tangible programming interface designed specifically for children aged three to six. It requires neither reading skills nor the use of a screen. Through the use of colorful building blocks and a wooden robot, it introduces children to the logic of computational thinking, allowing them to issue commands by arranging blocks into "sequences"—a fundamental programming concept.

Use the control panel to operate the little square robot. Insert command blocks into the corresponding slots (D). Below each slot, there is an LED light (F). The first 12 slots are connected by a "line" (E), which we call the "main sequence" (A).
Additionally, there are slots connected by a separate "line," which we call the "function sequence" (C). The start button (B) is located on the right side of the control panel; its function is to transmit commands to the little square robot.
Command Blocks
Command blocks come in various shapes and colors, with each combination representing a different command. All command blocks share the same structural design, allowing them to be inserted into the slots on the control panel. There are four types of command blocks

Instruction blocks all share a uniform, square-shaped design to ensure stability when inserted into the panel. Different types of blocks are distinguished by their corner orientation and color, helping to prevent confusion.
World Map
1m x 1m paper miniature world geography. The circle is 15cm x 15cm in size, with 6 squares on each side. It is used as a play surface (simplified science "geography").
Adventure Combo
(Can be purchased separately) Same size as the Little Cube Head world map. Includes four additional sets, adding a series of adventures for Little Cube Head: Little Cube Neck City Adventure, Egyptian Adventure, Underwater Adventure, and Space Adventure.

Programming Blocks — "We have transformed programming languages
into physical blocks that you can touch with your own hands
much like LEGO bricks. Each block represents a specific action
when you connect these actions together, a program is formed."
Storybooks and World Maps—through storybooks, world maps, and
a variety of challenges, children can develop programming

Product parameters
Power Supply
Battery
The small square unit and the control panel are powered by three AA batteries. The batteries are installed in section AB at the bottom of the device. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to open the battery compartment.
Power Switch
The power switch for the small square unit and the control panel is located on the underside of the device; slide it left or right to turn the unit on or off. When the small square unit is powered on, it will emit an audible sound. When the control panel is powered on, all its LED lights will flash three times.
Wireless Pairing
The "Small Square" connects to the control panel via wireless pairing. Pairing must be performed before use; this process takes place in the background, requiring no action from the user. In an environment free from interference, it can pair with the designated device. The wireless connection range indoors is approximately ten meters.
Pairing Procedure
1. Turn on the cube robot and the control panel (if they are already on, restart them).
2. Insert any command block (except for the blue ones) into the first slot on the control panel.
3. Press the start button; the cube robot will perform actions based on the command.
4. The cube robot and the control panel are now successfully paired; they will remain paired until one of the devices is turned off.
5. If the cube robot or the control panel is turned off, simply repeat the steps above to re-pair them.
How to Use
Children place building blocks into a control panel to arrange a series of consecutive commands—what we call a "sequence." These blocks essentially serve as executable instructions for the robot. Once the start button on the control panel is pressed, the program is sent, and the robot executes the commands in the specified order.
Create
Sequence
Place a building block onto the control panel: 1. When a block is placed correctly, the corresponding LED will light up. 2. Use a sequence of blocks to program the little square-headed robot. 3. Once the start button is pressed, any changes made to the sequence will not affect the robot; you must wait for it to finish executing all the commands in the current sequence before you can program a new one.
The sequence begins at the top-left slot and follows the lines on the control panel downward. If there are any empty slots in the sequence, the instruction blocks placed after those gaps will not be read or executed. As an instruction is being executed, its corresponding LED will light up. The little square robot will emit a unique sound after completing each instruction—each type of instruction has its own distinct sound. Once all instructions in the sequence have been executed, the robot will play a long, sustained tone.
Create functional instructions
Blue blocks (also known as "function blocks") are used to "package" multiple commands into a single block, allowing a program to execute more complex sequences. To create a function block, place the desired command blocks onto the line located at the bottom of the panel (the "function line"). When the small square-headed character reaches a function block along the main path, it will execute the pre-set commands.
