Fun to build

Was a great family activity to build together. Good building instructions.
Once he is built you seem to be on your own to figure out how to actually get Tobbie programmed and how to load programs on the micro bit.
Clearer instructions for this would be great. Otherwise kids are left with a toy they have spent hours building that they cannot use.
