Educational Toys and Games for Kids:

Let’s rewind our life a few years back when we all were children. Toys and games have always been an inherent part of our childhood and I still recollect the fun with the Interactive toys as Puzzles and some creative play kits then. Today, we live in a magical world, where every day a new technological wonder is happening. And how can our children not benefit out of those educational toys and games?

I feel that there is nothing better than the world of “Interactive Educational toys and Games” to educate our kids in a fun way. Such learnings can never be rote or boring, rather they provide complete experiential learning.

Mixed Reality games for Kids:

If I recall, some 10-12 years back, I got to know about Virtual Reality, which was followed with Augmented Reality lately. The world is progressing towards a newer concept of “Mixed Reality”, which is yet being worked upon to be included in various educational programs. Thanks to the proliferation of Smart devices that kids start using right from the early years, which has made the implementation of interactive technology a necessity. And the world is opening up to embrace more of Learning toys for toddlers.

But how does Mixed Reality-based Creative play for Children sounds? If you’re still thinking, then let me introduce you to “SKIPY: Sketch, Interact and Play” kits for ages 4+, a creative play kit.

What is Skipy’s mixed reality-based creative play?

The best combination that works for millennial kids is Creativity and Technology and this is what SKIPY (creative learning toy) has to offer. As a mom, I have always worked on enhancing my son’s creative skills, even with the smallest task in hand. The earlier a child is exposed to the creative side, the better it is for a child’s expression and overall cognitive development. SKIPY Interactive combines Mixed Reality technology with creative play to help kids immerse in a superior yet fun learning experience. In a nutshell, its an educational toy bringing up things into reality.

“Boooom!! Yes, the cannon fired the shell, the submarine (which my son drew), dived in! If you’re yet thinking how then you need to believe and try out the magic of Mixed reality built-in well with SKIPY Kits. “

So, we got SKIPY Travel Kit for us and it was great fun, using it with SKIPY App.

1. These kits not just enhance creativity but also helps kids to improve their drawing skills, knowledge, attention span, and Problem-Solving Skills. Kids feel the independence in handling the app and its use and this in turn also boosts up a child’s confidence.

3. The stories which are built-in SKIPY Kits are also way too interactive. The stories use kids’ creations and that entices a child all the more. It opens up a pandora box to create and learn. 
4. Even the “know more” section about the creation helps in enhancing kids’ knowledge, which acts as a big plus.
5. You can also unlock the games and let your kids have some fun. It does enhance a child’s overall experience.

The best thing is, Children love to play, interact and learn from their own creations. Their happiness to see things turning to life triggers an excitement.
