3 Cool Tech Gadgets for Kids

  1. Vobot Speaker Smart Clock and Speaker

Vobot Smart Alarm Clock with Amazon Alexa, 5W Speaker, Voice Control, LED Display, Timer/Date/Weather/Daily News/Radio/Music(Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, TuneIn etc)Vobot Smart Alarm Clock with Amazon Alexa, 5W Speaker, Voice Control, LED Display, Timer/Date/Weather/Daily News/Radio/Music(Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, TuneIn etc)

This incredible little tech gadget not only tells time (and wakes your child up for school) but it plays music and has Alexa capabilities.

This touch-initiated and voice-controlled tech device (a very cool tech gift for kids) uses Alexa to play music, provide information, control smart home devices, listen to news and audio books, report weather, traffic condition and so on.

And because the Vobot is a hands-free device (after full charge of the battery) it’s completely portable.

Dang, we never had an alarm clocks like this when we were growing up. My tech geek kids would love something like this… wouldn’t yours?

2. Garmin Vivofit Jr. Activity Tracker for Kids

Looking for a cool tech gift for an active kid or sports lover? Look no further than the Garmin Vivofit (three band styles are shown below). This fitness activity tracker is built kid-tough and parent approved with a one year battery life (no recharging needed) and 24/7 wearability (it can even go in the water).

I love that there’s a free compatible parent mobile app that has educational games for kids and even chore/behavior management tracking. Parents can see a child’s steps, sleep amount, daily activities and chore data when it automatically syncs to the parent’s smartphone. Love that!

Fun tech gadget for kids that’s exciting for kids (and practical for parents). Yes!

Got a kid who loves to shoot videos (but you’re not ready to hand him your GoPro quite yet)? Enter this fantastically fun tech gadget for kids: the Kidizoom Action Cam.

This practical-yet-fun cool tech gift allows kids to take photos and record videos on the go. Kids can also take selfies or shoot videos with fun features like slow and fast-motion using the 180° rotatable camera.

I love that this tech device is sturdy and built kid-tough. In fact, the all-weather, water-resistant case can be used for up to six feet underwater.

Kids can mount the camera to their bikes, skateboards and more and take great action shots. Definitely a top gift for tech geeks (of the kid variety) who love documenting their trick shots and outdoor fun.

Kids build different scenes using the kit’s Minecraft pieces and take pictures of the scenes in a stop-animation-style on their phone. Then, using a special app, the stop-animation-style images are transformed to a movie. Such a fun idea if you’re looking for a fun STEM gift for kids (especially if you’ve got a Minecraft lover).
