Why Whimsy Matters in Learning
Whimsy reduces psychological resistance. When children associate code with delight, the fear barrier of “too technical” lowers.
Use Cases: At Home, in Preschools
Parents and teachers can use it as a gentle introduction. Even if a child doesn’t become a coder, the logic foundations help critical thinking.

Whimsy isn’t fluff. In JavaScript for Babies, it’s a deliberate tool to make the first steps in tech feel warm, playful, and inspiring.
