I recently got to try out TheO SmartBall - For kids pre-school to 5th grade. Simply put it's a soft foam ball that uses an app on your phone (iphone, ipod touch, or android devices) to initiate learning while they play. You insert your device directly into the ball (easy to follow tutorial is available online) and get started. TheO™ SmartBall comes with 12 free apps to get you started. Additional apps are available on iTunes and Google Play, and they are constantly developing more. Check out my giveaway at the bottom of this blog post for your chance to win your own TheO SmartBall!!
I love the wide range of apps available which help teach the basics from colors and letter to numbers and shapes. The newest series Discover! includes fun apps such as
- Discover Animals by Habitat
- Discover Bodies
- Discover Careers
- Discover Colors
- Discover Items on a Farm
- Discover Items in a House
- Discover Items in a School
- Discover Objects by Size
- Discover Textures
- Discover US States and Capitals
Nolan and Carter have both been playing with the SmartBall. It's great in that it keeps Carter's attention more than a simple app would. The ball itself though isn't actually required to use the apps and it doesn't have things like buttons to press to make it work etc. but it's still fun and more active approach to iPhone or Android fun. Together the boys love the free Hot Potato game!! Check it out.
