Children these days have more options than ever when it comes to the toys they can play with. Not only do they have toys and gadgets to keep them busy on a daily basis, but a lot of the things they play with on a regular basis are now a large part of their education. They don’t just have books like we did back in the day; but they have books that can literally read to them and sound out words for them. On top of that, they can interact with those books and make things change and talk in the background. They have their own form of laptops, tablets and cell phones that are so similar to those of their parents that they feel as though they are being given something very special. With so many ways to keep your child on the right track, education is easier than ever to obtain. There are robots that can teach your child vocabulary and even how to spell.
