VTech’s new smartwatches for kids.

One of the best is VTech’s InnoTab Max ($110). This is VTech’s first tablet with Android learning content, which includes a huge library of age-appropriate apps and hand-picked Android learning games. For ages 3-9, the tablet is fun and educational, with apps that feature a well-rounded curricula of language arts, reading, math, science, social studies, problem solving and creativity. All content is reviewed by VTech’s expert panel so parents know their child is getting learning that is kid-friendly. Favorite kids’ apps include My Magic Beanstalk, Movie Maker, Art Studio, and Wonder Cam. Parental controls allow parents to manage their child’s apps, web access, tablet time—and a progress log allows parents to follow their child’s learning development.

If your little techie wants to join the popular “wearable” trend, VTech has introduced the interactive Kidizoom Smartwatch ($60). With built-in games for learning on-the- go, the Smartwatch lets kids capture photos, add photo effects, and record videos. It is PC and Mac compatible for uploading photos, videos and recorded voice files—and offers access to VTech’s Learning Lodge app store, where parents can download even more games and watch displays to extend the learning fun.
