ALRIGHT
ALRIGHT IT IS TIME TO TALK TOYS FOR PARENTS. IT'S SO GREAT WHEN
YOU GIVE YOUR KIDS TOYS THAT ARE
BOTH FUN AND EDUCATIONAL.
CHARLENE DELOS IS A CONTRIBUTING
EDITOR FOR THE TOY INSIDER, AND
SHE'S HERE WITH SOME GREAT WAYS
TO PLAY. I CAN'T WAIT TO GET TO
THE SHARK, BUT WE'RE SAVING THAT
FOR THE LAST RIGHT, CHARLIE. YES
VERY GOOD. I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT
ALL OF THESE TOYS. SO THAT'S THE
THING ABOUT TOYS LIKE THERE ARE
TOYS THAT ARE DESIGNED TO TEACH
RIGHT. THEY'RE DESIGNED TO BE AN
EDUCATIONAL TOY. BUT THERE'S
TOYS THAT YOU CAN TURN INTO AN
EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY. SO
WE'RE GOING TO SORT OF TALK A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT ALL OF THAT. AS
WE GO THROUGH EVERYTHING OKAY.
NOW THIS FIRST ONE IS A TRUE
TRADITIONAL TEACHABLE TOYS FROM
A COSMETIC CALLED OSMO. IT'S
CALLED READING ADVENTURES AND
KIDS USE AN IPAD AND PHYSICAL
BOOKS TO LEARN THE CONCEPTS OF
READING. SO IT'S REALLY A FUN,
TACTILE, MULTIDIMENSIONAL
TACTILE, MULTIDIMENSIONAL APPROACH. TO LEARNING HOW TO
READ AND NOT JUST I MEAN, LIKE
LEARNING WORDS. CONCEPTS OF
STORIES, CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT,
ETCETERA IN THIS AMAZING KIT.
YEAH THAT'S GREAT, AND YOU KNOW,
JUST BECAUSE IT'S AUTOMATIC YOU
MIGHT WANT IT DOESN'T MEAN
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO ENGAGE AS A
PARENT WITH IT AS WELL. SO YOU
CAN READ, YOU CAN HELP. BUT IT'S
NOT ONE OF THOSE THINGS YOU JUST
LIKE. OH, HERE YOU GO. DO IT ON
YOUR OWN EXACTLY RIGHT. AND THEN
YOU CAN EVEN AFTERWARDS ASK KIDS
TO TELL A STORY ABOUT IT. ALSO
TO WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT
LEGO IN A MINUTE. BUT AFTER THEY
FINISHED READING THE BOOK, GIVE
THEM A FEW LEGOS AND SAY I WANT
YOU TO DRAW, YOU KNOW, BUILD A
CHARACTER FROM THE BOOK THAT YOU
JUST READ A LOT OF WAYS YOU CAN
REALLY ENGAGE. THAT'S GOOD
IDEAS. GOOD PROMPTS, OKAY. CRAZY
GOGGLES. EXACTLY SO IT'S A VR
HEADSET. WE DON'T HAVE IT
WORKING RIGHT NOW. THAT'S OKAY
FROM OTHER THINGS, BUT BASICALLY
IT'S VR ATLAS FROM COMPANY
CALLED ABACUS AND LITERALLY,
KIDS CAN FEEL LIKE THEY'RE
TRAVELING THE WORLD THROUGH THIS
VR HEADSET. OH, THAT'S COOL,
LIKE PRETEND LIKE THEY'LL FEEL
LIKE THEY'RE STANDING AT MACHU
PICHU OR THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA
HAVE NEVER LOOKED SO GOOD.
YOU'RE ALL BLURRY WAY. SO YOU,
YOU YOU USED THE BOOK, AND THEN
IT MAKES YOU ONCE YOU POINTED
PAD, AND THEN YOU BASICALLY CAN
GO ON A VIRTUAL TOUR OF THE
WORLD. SO YOU'RE LEARNING
CULTURE YOU'RE FEELING LIKE
YOU'RE STANDING FOR OLDER KIDS
TO WHEN THEY'RE LEARNING HISTORY
OR TRAVEL OR IF YOU'RE GOING TO
TAKE A FAMILY TRIP, THEY CAN
LOOK AT IT AND SEE BEFOREHAND
EXACTLY RIGHT. SO USE IT. NOT
LOOK AT IT AND SEE BEFOREHAND SCHOOL. RIGHT. SO USE IT. NOT
LOOK AT IT AND SEE BEFOREHAND SCHOOL. TELL . SO USE IT. NOT
LOOK AT IT AND SEE BEFOREHAND SCHOOL. TELL YOU USE IT. NOT
LOOK AT IT AND SEE BEFOREHAND SCHOOL. TELL YOU GIVE IT. NOT
LOOK AT IT AND SEE BEFOREHAND SCHOOL. TELL YOU GIVE SOMEBODY A
MASK LIKE THAT. THEY'RE GONNA
HAVE A
HAVE A BALL JUST AS AN INDIVIDUAL THING, BUT
AS A WAY THAT YOU CAN ENHANCE
THEIR ADDITIONAL CURRICULUM FROM
ALL DAY LONG. REALLY
GOOD, TERRIFIC LEGO BIRDHOUSE.
SO THIS IS A BRAND NEW ONE THAT
JUST HIT THE MARKET NOW, OF
COURSE. LEGO IS A GREAT
EDUCATIONAL TOOL. YOU'RE
LEARNING ARCHITECTURE
LEARNING ARCHITECTURE ENGINEERING STRATEGY, TACTILE
EXPERIENCES. BUT WHAT I ALWAYS
SAY IS AFTER YOU BUILD WHATEVER
SAID IT IS THIS ONE'S FINE
BECAUSE IT'S ACTUALLY THREE
BUILDS IN IT IS SAY TO THEM,
OKAY. YOU BUILT, YOU KNOW A
LITTLE SQUIRREL OR A LITTLE BIRD
. BUT WHAT KIND OF PART IS IT?
IS THAT A ROBIN? HOW TO ROBIN'S
BY WHERE THEY LIVE? WHERE DID
THEY GO? WHAT DO THEY EAT? HAVE
THEM GO AND STUDY IT AND LEARN
ABOUT IT. GIVE THEM SOME
BINOCULARS. GO OUTSIDE. MAYBE
YOU CAN EVEN DO A CRAFT AND MAKE
SOME BIRD FOOD. TAKE THE LEGO
BUILD AND GO BEYOND THE BRICK.
OKAY AFTERWARDS BEYOND THE BRICK
I LOVE IT WITH BRIANNA BABY TO
ALL RIGHT ADOPTION DAY, BABY. I
WAS ASKING, LIKE, OH, IS THIS
NEW AND THIS HAS BEEN AROUND HOW
LONG MADAM ALEXANDER'S BEEN
AROUND FOR ALMOST 100 YEARS? YES
BEAUTIFUL DOLLS. YES ABSOLUTELY
. BEFORE CABBAGE PATCH KIDS,
EXACTLY. AND THEN WHAT'S GREAT
ABOUT IT, THOUGH, IS THAT OF
COURSE, YOU KNOW, HAVING THAT
EMULATION OF HAVING LIKE A BABY
. YOU'RE LEARNING EMPATHY AND SO
ON AND SO FORTH. WHAT I AM SORT
OF SAYING TO PARENTS HERE IS
TAKE THE DOLLS. WE ALL HAVE TONS
OF THEM AT HOME. STUFFED ANIMALS
AND GO BEYOND THAT. GO PUT THE
BABY OR STUFFED ANIMAL BEHIND
THE PILLOW AND SAY THIS IS
BEHIND. DOING A FRONT UP DOWN.
HIDE IT SOMEWHERE IN THE HOUSE
AND GO. I'M GONNA GIVE YOU A
CLUE. IT'S BEHIND THE RED PILLOW
AND THE LIVING ROOM SO THEY'RE
LEARNING COLORS ARE LIVING
PLACEMENTS. THEY'RE LEARNING
THINGS FROM LEFT AND RIGHT. SO
USE THE TOYS THAT YOU HAVE AND
BE A LITTLE CREATIVE ABOUT HOW
YOU CAN USE IT FROM EDUCATION.
WONDERFUL BUT WE'RE GOING TO DO
THE SHOW THE BEST FOR LAST. THE
SHARK LOOK AT THIS SHARK MEGA
SHOP FROM SKYROCKET. OKAY TO
TALK ABOUT EVEN THOSE CAN BE FUN
TO PLAY WITH IS HOW YOU CAN USE
RC TOYS. TO TEACH EDUCATIONAL
FACTS RIGHT SO ALL OUR KIDS HAVE
TO LEARN MULTIPLICATION FACTS OR
MAYBE GEOGRAPHY FACTS, RIGHT? SO
IF IT'S A SUNNY DAY, GO OUTSIDE
SOME CHALK OR IF YOU HAVE TO
PLAY INDOORS, GET SOME INDEX
CARDS AND WRITE SOME THINGS ON
IT. AND I CAN SAY SCOTT, ALL
RIGHT, WHAT IS THE CAPITAL OF
CONNECTICUT? AND YOU HAVE TO
DRIVE TO THE CORRECT ANSWER, AND
I'M GOING TO SAY USED TO BE NEW
HAVEN. BUT NOW IT'S HARTFORD.
I'M GOING TO TRY AND MAKE IT GO
TO HARTFORD, AND THEN YOU'LL
COVER YOUR DR KAREN. GOOD LUCK.
YOU DID PRETTY GOOD UP. MAKE IT
SPIN, RIGHT? YEAH. WHAT'S TWO
PLUS TWO. YOU'RE GONNA DRAG TO
THE CORRECT ANSWER. OKAY HERE WE
GO. HANG ON, CAN HAVE FUN WITH
RIGHT. SO WHATEVER. THEN THAT'S
EXACTLY YOUR KID WILL DO. I
DON'T WANT TO TELL YOUR MOM. I
WANT TO SPEND THE CIRCUIT. PIT.
GO FIND THOMPSON. RIGHT? ANSWER
THERE WE GO. CAN YOU GET IT TO
NUMBER FOUR? CAN'T GET IT TO GO
ANYWHERE STRAIGHT THERE. OH,
THERE WE GO. OKAY THIS IS
TOTALLY A BLAST. JUST YOU KNOW,
IT'S LIGHTS. YEAH. YEAH RIGHT.
BUT I WANTED TO GO FORWARD. HANG
ON. NO THEY COME BACK HERE.
THERE HE GOES. ALL RIGHT. SEE
YOU, SHARKY MIND OF HIS OWN BABY
SHARK DOO DOO BABY SHARK DOO
DOO, BABY SHARK. OKAY CHARLENE,
I'M KEEPING THIS. I HOPE YOU
DON'T MIND. CAN YOU MAKE THE
SHARK GO TO ERNIE'S CAMERA SWIM
INTO THE RIGHT, CORRECT, KAREN?
OH THAT IS SO AWESOME. I LOVE
THIS. SAY HAVE FUN WITH IT.
EDUCATIONAL DOESN'T HAVE TO BE
BORING. IT CAN BE ENTERTAINING
AND ENGAGING TO A FEW. DIDN'T
YOU HAVE A LOT OF KIDS? YOU
KNOW, THESE ARE FUN TOYS, BUT
THERE'S PROBABLY A LOT THAT
PARENTS HAVE IN THEIR HOMES.
JUST THINK OUTSIDE THE TOY BOX A
LITTLE BIT SO MUCH FOR BEING
WITH US SO MUCH FUN. ALL RIGHT,
FOR MORE INFORMATION AND ALL
THESE TOYS. IF YOU WANT TO GET
THE SHARK, ER ANY OF THE OTHERS
GO
