Train your tech-savvy tots

It’s no secret that our world is advancing — technologically speaking — faster than you can say iPad. That’s why it’s a good idea to get your tot comfortable with electronic gadgets and doodads at a young age. But playing with remote controls and expensive smartphones is not only dangerous for your stuff, it can be hazardous for your tot, too. Instead, try this technology trio from the Discovery Kids store, which includes a pretend smartphone, camera and remote control, each of which light up, play songs, and make a range of sounds, so your child can have fun fiddling with 21st century gizmos — without the risk of peril to your munchkin or your indispensable devices. For ages 18 months and up.
