Both Tots and Teens Are Going to Want These New Tech Toys ASAP

Feb 17 2016 - 1:49pm

All of the brands at this year's Toy Fair in New York City [1] brought the fun, but more than a few added a twist to the traditional toy: tech-friendly gadgets. From jaw-dropping 3D printers just for kids to a caterpillar that actually teaches toddlers how to code, these new toys will top their list without breaking your budget. And with children addicted to tablets and phones, these smart toys will fill their need for modern technology while also actually teaching them! Plus, you'll also get a break from them begging to use your devices, because what little one needs to talk to Siri or Alexa when they have a Barbie Smart Dreamhouse to answer their questions and commands!

Check out the nine tech-savvy and educational toys that every kiddo is going to be asking for this year.

ThingMaker 3D Printer

The ThingMaker 3D Printer helps your kiddo to make their very own toys. Using an app to create hundreds and hundreds of different figure/color toy combinations, they can create their perfect toys and send them to the printer to be made right before their eyes. You both won't believe the final results!

Project Mc2 Lie Detector

Bryden Bandweth isn't the only one who can figure out who is telling the truth! Disguised as a mint box, the Project Mc2 Lie Detector is exactly what your little tech genius needs to uncover the truth. The device actually senses moisture from fingers to detect the answers.

Fisher-Price Code-a-Pillar

First introduced at Consumer Electronics Show earlier this year, Fisher-Price [2]'s Code-a-Pillar will give preschoolers their earliest introduction to coding. Kids control how they want the caterpillar to move and watch as he follows their commands.

Barbie Smart Dreamhouse

The new Barbie Dreamhouse is a "smart" house that can communicate and interact with your child depending on the way they want to play. It features four modes of play — including a superfun dance-party mode — and like all the Dreamhouses past, it will provide hours and hours of imaginative fun.

Qixels 3D Printer

This printer takes the world of Qixels into 3D and allows your littles to create their own characters and learn the science behind 3D printing — plus, there will be refill packs with different themes to keep them loving this printer for a long time.

The Smart Scan Word Dash

Fisher-Price [3] is introducing a new Think & Learn line. The Smart Scan Word Dash will teach tots early literacy skills and help tots connect animals and their habitats.

Project Mc2 Circuit Beats

Quite possibly the coolest gadget your child has every played with, Project Mc2 Circuit Beats allows them to make music out of science. Simply hook up the circuit board with buttons to any object they want to use as an "instrument," and pick from five different sound options. They'll be amazed when they see how they can play guitar with a banana!

Crayola Crayon Factory

Recycle old crayon bits while teaching your child the science of melting and molding. Mix in new color options and watch them transform into customized creations! The newly molded car, heart, or puppy crayons give new life to your old art supplies and make coloring more fun.

Crayola Virtual Design Pro Disney Princess

Along with the new Mini Star Wars Saga, the Crayola Virtual Design Pro Disney Princess set provides tools and software to bring your child's designs to life with a smartphone, tablet, or iPod touch. This interactive product allows children to transition between online and offline fun!
