Teach your kids good habits with the help of a watch that guides them throughout the day. Octopus by Joy, is a watch that serves as a scheduler to keep kids on time and learning independence. Using an icon-based display, parents program Octopus to remind kids to do certain activities (e.g., brush their teeth, feed the fish, unpack their bags, wish their dad a happy birthday, etc.) at set times. The schedule is then sent to kids over Bluetooth and the watch gives off a gentle vibration to remind them that it's time to do something. In doing so, kids' not only learn the concept of time, they increase their self-esteem in knowing they did something on their own.
Octopus comes programmed with more than 700 icons, though as kids get older, the face display icons can be changed to a digital or analog clock as kids learn how to tell time. Octopus is currently live as an Indiegogo project for $69, but will be in retail stores in July.
