Here is a fool-proof plan to ensure that your little one learns something worthwhile while playing with the next new tech toy
Being a parent is difficult enough without having to think of gifts to buy for your kid’s birthdays. You can buy them the phone they want, or fancy clothes but at the end of the day you end up questioning the usage of the item versus the money spent. Here is a list of some tech “toys” for your kids that are not only fun but also enhance their basic skills and help them perform better academically:

Geosafari jr talking telescope
(age group 6-10, Rs 5,336)
The Talking Telescope is a complete show-and-tell experience for kids. It can dole out as many as 200 facts on mammals, reptiles, planets and stars as children view each of them closely.
It also features images from NASA in the form of slides, which can be viewed on the small side microscope and later stored in the built-in storage area.
Once the kids are ready with all the facts, they can test what they have learnt by taking the multiple choice quiz which comes with full background sound effect. A telescope would be incomplete without an actual telescope, so it even has a detachable 4x zoom telescope that can be used to star gaze.
