These days children have all the learning advantages that children did not have years ago. Not only do they have the advantages but also they are now able to be portable with their learning tools so they can now learn while away from the home and on the go. In this article, we are going to discuss some great portable learning toys that will not only be fun but also stimulate your child’s mind as they learn.
One of the first portable learning toys we are going to discuss is the v smile pocket. This system is a toy much like any other handheld video game system, only geared towards younger children. It is a little bit bulkier in size than other handheld systems but it makes it easier for young hands to handle it. This system comes complete with its own carrying case, and car adapter/charger so it can be used on long car trips to keep your child occupied. There are plenty of educational games available for this system that will stimulate your child. Games that not only teach spelling and math but some that tell stories and others that will take your child on journey’s around the world and teach life learning lessons. This system sports a flip top and an easy touch-writing pad with a writing stylus. One can find them used online for around $35 or so with games included. Purchased as a completely new unit, this system can cost anywhere from $65 to $90 new.
There are also portable learning toys that come in book form. These books not only tell stories but teach spelling, language and writing also. They come with a touch stylus (or pen) that your child will run over the words enabling the book to tell the story as your child read along with it. The voice comes out of a small speaker that is mounted at the top inside the stylus or pen. This system not only reads stories to your child but your child can also learn specific words simply by running the pen over a word they do not know to help them pronounce it. Another cool thing is the child can also play interactive games with it also. This system is geared towards children 4 through 8 but the preschool kids are the ones that find this portable learning toy especially rewarding because it will help them master the skills needed before entering school. This is not to say that it is not worth it for older kids but the older kids mostly have already mastered most of the skills this type of system teaches.
Although most portable learning toys teach spelling, math and words there are those that do none of that but concentrate more on the child’s creative side. These types of learning toys let the child explore their creativeness in things such as art, music, and sports which is fun also. There are also learning toys that will also teach children about religion. Therefore, you see, these types of toys are not strictly limited to teaching fundamentals but also fun things too!
As your child gets older these types of portable learning toys get smaller and more advanced. Along with them being more advanced they also tend to get to be more expensive also. Like v smile pocket
When it comes to a child though, price should not be an object because you are making an investment in a life. You want your child to have every opportunity to grow into knowledgeable, responsible adults. This starts by teaching them at a very young age. If every parent invests in his or her children, it will make the world a better place!
