We have a wee bit of exciting news to share with you…

They are finally ready! Your Tingbots are packed and winging their way to you as we speak…keep an eye out for the postman and give him a kiss from us when they arrive :)

It has been a great journey with you guys and it’s only just the beginning.

We can’t wait to see what you’ll be making with Tingbot. Please Tweet us when your Tingbot arrives with your unboxing pictures and creations.

If you want to get a head start on making apps, then download Tide - we’ve just released our beta version!

The first few hours of packing were a little bit crazy…

…stacking up nicely…

…and away they go!

Y’all ready for this?

As your Tingbots will be with you in a few days time, we want to make sure you have everything ready.

Below are some of the things you will need if you don’t own them already…
