Gift Ideas for Kids

Boys and Girls love being able to capture things on camera, whether its their friends at school, or their pet dog licking a bone. The cameras available in camera shops are not really built for kids, so it is fantastic that VTech have come out with their Kidizoom range of cameras, especially designed for children who want to photograph the wonderful world they live in.

There are a number of models of camera, such as the pink ones mainly for girls and camouflage cameras for those children wandering deep down the back of the garden and don’t want to alarm the birds or neighbors cat.

The Kidizoom camera take real pictures that can be reviewed and edited directly on the camera itself, as well as sent to a printer for a permanent record.

Vtech’s cameras are for children over the age of 3, and those kids I have seen using them, seem to love them.

Another fun toy is the Smart Cycle. The Smart cycle is a wonderful way for boys & girls to learn, having fun in the process. It’s a stationary bike that plugs into your TV set, and games can be purchased separately offering a huge variety of games and skills that your children can learn while enjoying themselves.

Your son or daughter can play with their favourite characters like Barbie. These characters will guide them through the wonderful adventures.

Smart Cycle games have three modes of play - explore/encounter, arcade and race mode. Your children will have plenty of variation within games to keep them happy for a very long time.

For the older child, one toy that will amaze them (and that includes for the older “adult” kids) is the Spykee Robot. Spykee is a meccano robot from the clever people over at Meccano. Spykee can be controlled either locally with Wifi technology or over the internet. Imagine being in a different country and moving your Spykee robot through your home while watching its progress on the built in camera.

Spykee is a toy for the older kids. It is one toy that will never cease to amaze you.
