20 Best Toys/Gadgets for Techie Kids
I don't know about the rest of you who have kids, but my kids are all into technology these days. My 3-year-old little girl already knows her way around my Apple computer, and can operate an iPhone and an iPad with no problems at all. I didn't have the luxury of growing up with this awesome technology, but our kids will.
Online colleges and universities have released a list of 20 cool toys for techie kids like mine. There are some great products here for kids, and thanks to this list I have the next two years of birthdays and Christmas's taken care of. The question is will they stop playing with the iPhone and iPad to play with these tech toys? Probably not.
