01.jpgIt’s amazing how quickly kids grow up these days. the one thing that strikes me is just how much our kids want to be like us. It’s not always a good thing, I mean my 7 year old wants to wear makeup and have a cell phone. But there’s a product about to hit the market that might work to a parents advantage.
The Cruz Storypad is a full color, animated, touchscreen interface storybook e-reader for kids. It can also play, music, pictures, videos and games, making it a fully blown personal entertainment device.
Easy to use, with intuitive controls and made with kids in mind, in other words, durable and spill resistant. With a full color display and 1 GB on board storage, it includes an SD card slot for expansion. The Storypad utilizes a rechargeable Li-Ion battery and comes preloaded with 10 animation books and 3 interactive educational games. Comes in green, blue or pink.
I’d like to see my kid with an e-reader in her hands instead of some of the other electronics she has gotten used to. It really would be great to watch her reading, instead of trying to race a hedgehog around the jungle collecting bananas. I’m just saying.
