Toy Ideas for Kids

How many kids like dinosaurs? Most of them I’d guess. Just think what they would do if they had their own moving, reacting, sensitive pet dinosaur? Well, we all know that’s not possible, but Pleo the Dinosaur is the next best thing.

Pleo has a number of sensors just under the realistic skin of his body that allows him to react to the things going on around him, namely you!. Pleo is controlled by a complex operating system, that actually learns as he gets older. Pleo evolves according to the stimuli arounf him, meaning no two Pleos end up being the same.

After you welcome Pleo into your home, he’ll move around freely adapting to the stuff he encounters. If he bangs his leg, he’ll even limp! His unique personality will change over time based on his experiences with you. Pleo will give your son so much fun, but watch out - he is an animal, so is very unpredictable. You’ll love Pleo.

Maybe your son doesn’t like dinosaurs, so how about a bionic eye? Eyeclops eye is a hand held microscope that will plug right into your television or computer, and will let you view objects up to 400 times right there on your television. You and your kids can share the excitement and be amazed as your own skin takes on the appearance of an alien landscape.

Eyeclops eye comes with a number of accessories including a viewing dish and a collectors tube, so your child can collect and view samples easily.

If your kids like viewing the world in a different way on their TV with the bionic eye, maybe they’d be interested in taking photographs of the world around them. VTech have come out with a range of Kidizoom cameras, including a camouflage camera and a tough waterproof camera. The Kidizoom cameras take real photographs using the viewfinder and flash, and the photos can be previewed on the LCD screen of the camera and even edited on the camera itself.

Kidizoom cameras have plenty of internal storage , but this can be increased with memory cards. They come in a range of colours, including blue and pink.

The Kidizoom cameras are designed for children of at least 3 years old.
