2021 Favorite Techy Gifts for Preschoolers
Thermal Printing Camera
(technology & social/emotional development)
Your kids can take digital pictures or pictures in "print mode." Make a scrapbook or hang them on the wall.
Recently in our home, we have dedicated a wall to our helpful deeds. At first, I called this cork board with pins our “Helpful Wall.” When our children are helpful throughout the day, I snap a picture with our thermal printing camera or jot it down on a notecard and pin it on our Helpful Wall.
Once, my son traded plates with my daughter because she wanted his. I was amazed and quickly snapped a picture to put on our wall. When my daughter brought her brother a snack and a drink, he told me how helpful and kind his sister was. He snapped a picture and added it to our wall.
As the wall continued to fill, I realized it was more than just being helpful. When we are helpful, we are serving Jesus Christ, and becoming more like Him. So now our wall is titled with a hand-written sign, “I’m trying to be like Jesus.”
Each time a new card or picture is added to the wall, my children are recognizing Jesus in themselves.
Quincy Told Me
This really is the PERFECT gift for your preschooler. It gets even more advanced and has higher levels, math problems, and spelling. The robot that grows with your child. Quincy is the first thing that taught Charlie that drawing can be done little by little. I love his drawings of our family. Thanks for Quincy for giving him a kickstart.
GABB Watch
(technology & social/emotional development)
The GABB watch is such a fun gift, that also benefits the parents as a way for them to contact their kids on the go, see their location, give them tasks and independence while still staying connected.
Homer App
(technology & cognitive development)
Get a subscription to HOMER app. (or just get a free trial and see). This is the most developmentally appropriate app I've seen for young kids. It meets them at their level and takes them step-by-step through learning.
OSMO
(technology & cognitive development)
Each game has a mix of open-ended imaginative creation and the rote memorization of letters that all kids eventually learn in school. It's such a fun way to introduce letters, numbers, shapes and one of the games is almost entirely open-ended.
