DIY kits that get kids playing, creating, inventing and hacking with technology. We love watching kids’ eyes light up as they add lights and sound to playdough characters, create their own synthesizers, and even learn to code their own games!
Blending the all familiar iPad with round-the-kitchen-table games, Osmo is fun for all the family. We love it because it removes the solitary play-element of the iPad and encourages interaction.
We love Sphero’s approach to programming real world devices, making it easy and fun for anyone to learn. This little ball uses block-based coding meaning anyone can program it using their simple app.
"Lost My Name" is not just a story with your child’s name in it, their name IS the story. That all important story before bed takes your child on an adventure. We love how technology brings the magic of storytelling to life.
Quite literally the building blocks for maker kids, they encourage open-ended play and spark imaginations! We love LEGO, their “go forth and build” sets let young ones play, build, take apart and rebuild.
