This month we have a round up of four great Toys N Tech products for people of all ages! Let’s jump right into it.
Give the grandkids freedom, while keeping them safe
Grandkids need the freedom to play outside and visit with friends. While we can’t always be watching over the grandkids, we can use the FiLIP 2 watch to keep them safe and connected. The FiLIP 2 is a wearable phone, smart locator and watch for kids (ages 4-11). With the tap of a button, kids can call one of 5 preprogrammed numbers or instantly send you their GPS location. Give the kids their freedom, but maintain your peace of mind.
FiLIP 2 | $149 and $10 Monthly Plan
Yes, circuit design can be fun!
How do you take concepts like electrical resistance and current flow and make them fun? Simple, you combine magnets, circuits and augmented reality. The LightUp Edison Kit allows young builder to make circuits just by snapping magnetic components together. Circuit not working? Just hold your phone or tablet over the circuit and the Augmented Reality LightUp app instantly shows you how to fix your circuit and explains the basics of electrical circuits.

Let there be music, light, and no wires

The Sengled Pulse – a dimmable LED light bulb with a built-in wireless speaker that you control from your phone? That is pretty special! The Sengled Pulse starter pack comes with two LED light bulbs that fit any standard light socket. Screw in the bulbs and use your phone or tablet to listen to stereo music and control your lighting.
