The Best Tech Gifts for Kids in 2019
Finding the best tech gift for kids is trickier than it looks. The toy market is flooded with toys that are destined to be forgotten a few days after being unwrapped. So how do you find a toy that’s not just fun and inspirational but has playability far beyond out-of-the-box infatuation? We have just the right picks.
Top Tech Toys for Kids
DropMix Music Gaming System
Developed by Harmonix and Hasbro, DropMix is a tabletop game that gives kids a new way to collect, discover and combine their favorite tracks. This fast-paced music mixing game allows a player to lay up to five NFC-enabled cards, with each representing a specific song. Laying different cards on the electronic board mixes the songs. This product comes with three ways to play: Freestyle, Clash and Party and 60 DropMix cards that feature popular songs and music from top artists.
Air Hogs Helix X4
The Air Hogs Helix X4 is a great beginner drone that’s recommended for kids aged eight to 13 years. This high-performance RC stunt quad-copter is easy to fly, incredibly fast, and rugged enough to handle a rough and tumble new user. Additionally, it is aggressively maneuverable and can perform barrel rolls, insane backflips and 180 flips with the push of a button. With full 4-channel control, the Helix X4 can easily out stunt any other RC vehicle and out fly any obstacle. The drone has a charge time of between 45 to 60 minutes which gives users about five to six minutes of flight time. While this time may not be much, it is enough to offer your young ones the chance to learn the hand-to-eye coordination required for larger drones. The nice thing about the Helix X4 is that it only has a flight distance of 40 meters so you won’t worry about CAA regulations.
Anki Cozmo Robot
Perhaps one of the best tech gifts for kids, Cozmois a cute, diminutive robot that wins children over by disguising learning as play. The robot’s facial recognition software scans the user’s face and learns their names. Equipped with a Cozmo Performs feature, kids can create their Cozmoments by controlling what the robot says and how he moves. The Explore Mode allows kids to explore how Cozmo sees the world and prompt him to greet other users. Another feature worth mentioning is the Code Lab which helps kids above eight years to learn basic coding skills.
