Learning how to program in early age helps children to develop some capabilities as logical thinking, problem solving, and creativity. Incorporating robotics in programming children can help to learn in a concrete and funny way, collaborating with each other. The research project presented in this paper describes the first prototype that implements a programming environment for robots using mobile devices, for children in early childhood{\textemdash}4 to 6 years old. This prototype is fully functional and allows Bluetooth communication one by one. We expect that our research will contribute to human{\textendash}computer interface field, providing a new nontraditional interface to support the learning process of programming in preschoolers.

The ability to program from an early age helps to logical cognitive development. Incorporating robotics programming allows children to learn in a concrete and fun way, collaborating with each other. This allows children to succeed in developing key competencies of the XXI Century. The research proposed in this paper was the creation of a programming environment for mobile devices for early childhood children, from 4 to 6, to program robots. An early implemented prototype is described. Results of this research are expected to contribute to Human Computer Interface field, providing a design and implementation of a new infor-mation to support the learning process of programming in preschoolers nontraditional interface.

Learning to program in early age helps children to develop some capabilities as logical thinking, problem solving and creativity. By incorporating robotics in programming children can learn in a concrete and funny way, collaborating with each other. The research project presented in this paper describes the first prototype that implement a programming environment for robots using mobile devices, for early childhood children - 4 to 6 years old. This prototype is fully functional and allows bluetooth communication one by one. We expect our research will contribute to Human-Computer Interface field, providing a new interface to support the learning process of programming in preschoolers kids.
