Review: Educational and Fun - Such fun. My kids and I have been having a ball learning to program the Sphero mini. We found lots of ideas on their website and the app to learn how to use it. While the coding is great, the drawing option is not terribly accurate, but fun all the same. Review: Fun item. Poor battery life. - Got this for my 12 year old for Christmas who is obsessed with scratch programming at school. She's super impressed with the item and what it can do, she loves the endless possibilities of her sphero. However, the possibilities do end and rather quickly because the battery life is shocking. Everytime I see it its on charge after only minimal usage. Have looked up the correct charging procedure and will employ that and see if it helps. If it improves the usage time I shall be sure to give it 5 stars. ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 8 years. For use under adult supervision - Warning:Toy inside.
