Logitow is a STEM based interactive smart toy for kids as young as three years old. You get what appears to be ordinary building blocks and a free app for iOS or Android devices. You may be thinking to yourself: “Why do I need blocks to entertain my kid on a tablet? Not only do they not need more incentives to be on it, but most days I’m trying to get them far away from all these devices.” Well, Logitow is a little different than just YouTube videos and mindless games. The blocks actually encourage learning and fun through physical building as well as meaningful interaction with the tablet.
The games your child plays with Logitow use what is called Mixed Reality to improve on hand-eye coordination, creative problem solving and even teamwork with other children to build better social skills. With the app your child gets to build freely and also in story mode that puts their creations inside of a featured story. There are all kinds of building themes available so your child can start constructing spaceships, cars, houses, castles and whatever else they can imagine.
This STEM based toy can encourage your child to learn other skills such as cooperation, sharing with friends and it even offers valuable family time where you as the parent can take part in the building process with your child.
Logitow just launched its main site and will likely hit the crowdfunding sites very soon. For more information on Logitow checkout the full PR below or visit them directly for updated information as it becomes available.
