This might be a tech toy that I could actually enjoy.
Normally I don’t advocate electronics that might take away time from actual reading and imaginative play, but today we ran across a device that I actually think is sort of cool.
Have you hard of the Playaway View? A Walmart grant afforded our local libraries to purchase these small devices to allow children to read and watch videos on their screens. They are shaped like a small game system about the size of a GPS system and feature a plug-in device for charging. They are super easy to hold and just as simple to use.
They Playaway View we checked out is a four-part series of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. One of the episodes was my daughter’s favorite one, about how fortune cookies are made, so you can imagine how stoked she was to see that! There are lots of other choices available as well, from The Very Hungry Caterpillar to The Mouse and the Motorcycle.
