LeapFrog Tag Reading System: fun, educational toy that really encourages independent reading!

TheToysMaster — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 18:54:56 +0000

The Tag Reading System by LeapFrog is an optical pen that can read aloud from specially designed story books. Touch the pen to any word in the book and it says the word out loud. It can read a page of the story, the entire story, or just one word at a time. The pen also interacts with pictures in the book and can be used to play simple reading comprehension games. This is the up-to-date version of those read-along records (or tapes) many adults remember from their own childhood (when you hear the beep, turn the page).

For example, with Activity Storybook Disney/Pixar Cars: Tractor Tipping you can use your LeapFrog Tag Reading System to bring this story about Lightning McQueen and Mater to life as they stir up trouble amongst the sleeping tractors.

Moreover, parents can connect the LeapFrog Tag Reading System online to collect fun rewards their child has earned and to see their child’s play and learning on the LeapFrog Learning Path!

TheToysMaster — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 22:07:22 +0000

The ultimate Prehistoric Pet is back again with great new features.
D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur 2009 combines robotics, sensors and reptilian-like skin to create a lifelike appearance and behavior. He’ll walk, chomp and roar. Like a real pet, D-Rex will follow the sound of your voice, make funny noises and protect your room with his roaring guard mode. Now you can even teach D-Rex tricks, programming him to perform a sequence of up to 30 actions.

Dinosaur lovers of all ages are in luck!
The D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur 2009 is a friend, guardian, and prankster all rolled into one toy. Designed for kids eight years and older, this dinosaur –brought to life with “biomorphic robotics”– features over 100 sounds and movements. Using a bone-shaped remote,D-Rex responds to an “attack” command by roaring and stalking a victim, and he wags his tail when kids pet the back of his head. D-Rex’s level of interaction increases with the ability to memorize and perform a sequence of up to 30 actions.

Using the bone-shaped remote control, kids can program D-Rex to perform a number of actions from up to 25 feet away. Pressing “attack” mode makes D-Rex stand alert, and pressing it a second time sends him on a roaring rampage. In “guard” mode, D-Rex stiffens and scans the room, moving his head from side to side. At the first sound of an intruder, D-Rex will roar to alert you.

Start roaring now and get the D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur 2009 with US $89.99 with free shipping (you Save US $60.00 that’s 40% off!).

Tomy i-Sobot: don’t call it the “tiny robot” or a “toy robot”!

TheToysMaster — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 17:21:01 +0000

According to the Tomy i-Sobot website, this is the world’s smallest humanoid robot in production, as per Guiness World Records. With 17 servos and only 6-1/2″ high, it could be.

And I should be one to talk about the “smallest”.

The Tomy I-SOBOT stands a mere 6-1/2 inches tall. The articulated joints give the i-Sobot an incredible range of motion. And, it’s fun to pose.

>The Tomy I-SOBOT requires 3xAAA batteries, and Tomy has included rechargeable NiMH Sanyo Eneloop batteries. The remote takes AA batteries (not included). Tomy says it should run for 60 minutes under normal use.

When you power it on, the i-Sobot stands upright. A green “eye” lights up. A blue side-light on the side of the head can be turned on and off separately.

There are two switches on the back. One is for power, the other is a channel selector. The remote control is infrared, and the IR sensor is on the robot’s shoulder.

Tomy I-SOBOT is powered by 17 customs developed servo-motors and 19 integrated circuit chips. He features a built-in gyro sensor and comes fully assembled, ready for action. He can be controlled in a variety of ways: by pre-programmed actions, user programmed actions (done easily with the LCD remote control), or by real-time remote control or voice commands.

The Tomy I-SOBOT it’s now available for US $ 129.95 (28% off its regular price!)
